A.I. and Animation Tiger Woods and Lord of the Rings
A.I. and Animation USA Today has a brilliant article discussing motion captured animation and artificial intelligence -- Mocaps Grab all the Right Moves. The first part is a bit slow, talking about grabbing Tigger Wood's moves for the next golf simulation. But the article quickly gets into the integration of such technology, and the importance of Artificial Intelligence in this process. They discuss films such as Lord of the Rings and Attack of the Clones, where motion capture is used for basic physical movement, but AI is used for behaviour arbitration (the selection of appropriate behaviours). With sufficient randomised entities, like in a battle, the results are astonishing. The article looks into the integration of similar work into next-generation games. | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts.
