Physics simulation offers the possibility of truly responsive and realistic animation. Despite
wide adoption of physics simulation for the animation of passive phenomena, such as fluids …

The ways to compute the kinematics and dynamic quantities of human bodies in motion
have been studied in many biomedical papers. This paper presents a comprehensive …

We demonstrate a real-time simulation system capable of automatically balancing a
standing character, while at the same time tracking a reference motion and responding to …

Human motion capture embeds rich detail and style which is difficult to generate with
competing animation synthesis technologies. However, such recorded data requires …

We introduce a comprehensive biomechanical model of the human upper body. Our model
confronts the combined challenge of modeling and controlling more or less all of the …

An effective 3D stepping control algorithm that is computationally fast, robust, and easy to
implement is extremely important and valuable to character animation research. In this …

Modifying motion capture to satisfy the constraints of new animation is difficult when contact
is involved, and a critical problem for animation of hands. The compliance with which a …

Animated human characters in everyday scenarios must interact with the environment using
their hands. Captured human motion can provide a database of realistic examples …

We present an interactive algorithm to model physics-based interactions in dense crowds.
Our approach is capable of modeling both physical forces and interactions between agents …

Virtual humans are employed in many interactive applications using 3D virtual
environments, including (serious) games. The motion of such virtual humans should look …
