Abstract

In this paper, we present animation engine and behavioral engine for a digital actor to be used in virtual worlds such as digital film, game environment etc. For adapting captured motions of a human-like character to have a desired motion of a digital actor, the animation engine uses some techniques such as blending two or more motions, smooth transition from one motion to another, real-time inverse kinematics, evolutionary computing to characterize a digital actor. The behavioral engine analyzes information of the virtual environment and the other actors and decides which emotional state is and which behavioral model is.
