Rendering animations of scenes with deformable objects, camera motion, and complex illumination, including indirect lighting and arbitrary shading, is a long-standing challenge. P...
Recently, it has become increasingly popular to represent animations not by means of a classical skeleton-based model, but in the form of deforming mesh sequences. The reason for ...

This paper presents a digital storytelling approach that generates automatic animations for time-varying data visualization. Our approach simulates the composition and transition ...
Animation can add significant value to Discrete-Event Simulation by helping verify, validate, and accredit simulation analyses. This is particularly true in construction where typ...
Many educators have used Algorithm Visualization (AV) to teach students of computer science about how computer algorithms work. Our study sheds light on two important questions: (...

We present a new interface for producing high quality web deliverable interactive 3D facial animation. We aim at providing visual artists with established 3D character animation t...

The present study investigated the instructional value of signals for learning while comparing two animations that differed solely in the presence / absence of visual signals. Sig...
Animation is frequently utilized to visually depict change in timevarying data sets. For this task, it is a natural fit. Yet explicit animation is rarely employed for static data....

Researchers demand much from their embodied conversational agents (ECAs), requiring them to be both life-like, as well as responsive to events in an interactive setting. We find t...
We propose a method to automatically transform mesh animations into animation collages, i.e. moving assemblies of shape primitives from a database given by an artist. An animation...
