Abstract:
1. A system for producing a cartoon animation using a character animation and mesh deformation, comprising: a memory, the memory having stored thereon: a motion analysis module for receiving original motion data having information about non-deformed motions of a character, and extracting parameters from the original motion data by analyzing an animation value of each of a plurality of joints of the character; a mesh deformation module for receiving original mesh data having information about an external appearance of a character and original skinning data having information for cohering the parameters or bones with mesh, and generating deformed mesh data, a motion deformation module for receiving the original motion data and deforming motion into a cartoon like motion using the parameters; and a skinning module for receiving the deformed mesh data, the deformed motion data, and the original skinning data and generating character animation data having cartoon like motion.
