Abstract: A graphical display animation system (100) is disclosed that supports timed modification of element property values of elements within a graphical display. The animation system utilizes a display structure for maintaining a set of elements (202) corresponding to displayed objects within a graphically displayed scene. The elements include a variable property value. The animation system also utilizes a property system that maintains properties associated with elements maintained by the display structure. The properties include dynamic properties (410) that are capable of changing over time and thus affecting the appearance of the corresponding element on a graphical display. The animation system includes animation classes (222), from which animation objects are instantiated and associated with an element property at runtime. The animation object instances provide time varying values affecting values assigned to the dynamic properties maintained by the property system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for aquiring motion samples, labeling motion samples with labels based on a plurality of parameters, using the motion samples and the labels to learn a function that maps labels to motions generally, and using the fucntion to synthesize arbitrary motions. The synthesized motions may be portrayed through computer graphic images to provide realistic animation. The present invention allows the modeling of labeled motions samples in a manner that can accomodate the synthesis of motion of arbitrary location, speed, and style. The modeling can provide subtle details of the motion through the use of probabilistic sub-modeling incorporated into the modeling process. Motion samples may be labeled according to any relevant parameters. Labels may be used to differentiate between different styles to yield different models, or different styles of a motion may be consolidated into a single base line model with the labels used to embellish the baseline model. The invention allows automation of labeling to increase the efficiency of processing a large variety of motion samples. The invention also allows automation of the animation of synthetic characters by generating the animation based on a general description of the motion desired along with a specification of any embellishments desired.
