A versatile approach to assist artists in enhancing animation.

Media artists who work on animated movies and video games could have more control over their animations, thanks to a new technique developed by researchers at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). This novel approach uses mathematical functions called barycentric coordinates to define how 2D and 3D shapes can move and change shape. Currently, many techniques for…

An adaptable approach to assist creatives in enhancing animation.

A ground-breaking method to give animators more control over their work has been introduced by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, represented in a paper by Ana Dodik, the lead author. The technique relies on generating mathematical functions known as 'barycentric coordinates,' which guide how 2D and 3D shapes bend, stretch, and move throughout…

A versatile approach to assist creators in enhancing animation.

Researchers at MIT have developed a technique to give animators greater control over the movements of their 2D and 3D characters. Their method generates barycentric coordinates, mathematical functions that dictate how shapes bend, stretch, and move through space. Unlike other methods, this approach offers flexibility by allowing animators to choose suitable functions for achieving desired…

An adaptable approach to assist artists in enhancing animation.

MIT researchers have developed a new method to improve the control animators have over their animated characters. The technique involves the use of a mathematical function called Barycentric coordinates, that defines how both 2D and 3D elements can be manipulated in space. Unlike other techniques, this allows for more flexibility and leeway for creatives. An important…

A versatile approach to assist animators in enhancing their craft.

Researchers at MIT have developed a technique which provides an updated approach to creating animations and could deliver more control to artists. The technique uses mathematical functions known as barycentric coordinates, which dictate how 2D and 3D shapes interact with space, introducing possibilities for curvature and movement. Current techniques tend to offer limited flexibility, generally…
