Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of systems disclosed herein may use example based procedural animation techniques to create smooth, lifelike animations. Systems herein can identify a character pose at the end of each game update frame. Reference features can be extracted from the game update frame and may be used to identify a specific motion capture frame to use in generating an animation. The selected motion capture frame can be used as an initial target frame for a subsequent frame. Further, the target frame may be modified in response to a collision event. Based on the extracted reference feature information and the applied external forces due to the collision event, a new motion capture frame may be selected thereby, creating a new animation that appears more realistic compared to previous systems.
