Motion Level of Detail(LOD) Neoklis Polyzotis Vuk Ercegovac CS838 Spring 2000
Why use LODs? • Save computing resources • Commonly used for geometric models • Why not apply same arguments to motion data?
Motion LOD issues • Where does the LOD come from? • When to choose one LOD over another? • Type of retargeting • Smooth transitions • How to integrate into existing tools?
Approach Taken Skeleton Editing Edit LODs Chooser Retargeter Output Modified Rendering Pipeline
Some Movies for Results • Close up of IK and Geometric with LOD vs. Original • IK LOD transitions • Geometric LOD transitions • IK vs. Geometric vs. Original from far away
Summary • Manual skeleton LOD generation • Automated LOD chooser and retargeter • Comparison between two types of retargeters • Integration into Motion Capture Tool
