CS 426 Exercises
Animation
-
What are the differences betweeen animation
and simulation? Give an example of each.
-
What type of aliasing occurs in animation that
does not occur during rendering of a single image?
How can we avoid such aliasing? Explain why the
aliasing occurs and give pseudocode for your method
to avoid it.
-
What are the differences between kinematics and
dynamics? Give an example of how an animator would
use each. Which did you use in assn 5?
-
What are the differences between forward and inverse
kinematics? Give an example of how an animator would
use each. Which did you use in assn 5?
-
Why are inbetweens harder to compute with inverse
kinematics than forward kinematics, especially for
complex articulated figures with many joints and few
end-effectors?
-
What are the advantages of an animation system that
incorporates dynamics (physics)? What are the challenges?
-
Derive the equations for computing u and v for the Beier & Neeley
morph with one line-pair.
