Abstract:
1. A method for generating a performance location map for aligning a locomotion sequence with a performed motion sequence, the method comprising: generating a performed motion space associated with a performed motion from a plurality of motion clips, wherein each motion clip in the performed motion space begins with a first locomotion portion of the performed motion that is identical for a number of frames; calculating a performance location map for the performed motion space, wherein the performance location map includes a transition location and a plurality of performance locations, wherein the transition location indicates a location in the performed motion where the first locomotion portion ends and a performed motion sequence portion of the performed motion begins, and wherein each performance location represents, for a different rotation of the performed motion, an ending location of the performed motion at which the performed motion sequence is executed; generating a behavioral gridmap, wherein the behavioral gridmap includes a plurality of parametric motion datapoints, wherein each parametric motion datapoint is associated with a motion plan defined by a set of control parameters and a root rotation for executing the performed motion; and associating the performance location map with each parametric motion datapoint in the behavioral gridmap.
