Abstract
A technique is proposed for creating new animations from a set of representative example motions stored in a motion database. Animations are created by cutting-andpasting together the example motion segments as required. Motion segments are selected based upon how well they fit into a desired motion and are then automatically tailored for a precise fit. Various fundamental problems associated with the use of motion databases are outlined. A prototype implementation is used to validate the proposed concepts and to explore possible solutions to the aforementioned problems. Keywords: computer animation, motion capture, motion reuse, motion database 1 Introduction Building tools for character animation has long been a difficult business. The problem of building a tool to help animators in their job is ill-defined in many ways. Just how does an animator communicate a set of desired motion characteristics to a software tool? How does the tool inform the animator of possible constraints or ...
