Journal ArticleDOI
Scalable behaviors for crowd simulation
TL;DR: This paper presents a new approach to controlling the behavior of agents in a crowd that is scalable in the sense that increasingly complex crowd behaviors can be created without a corresponding increase in the complexity of the agents.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Flow tiles
TL;DR: This work presents flow tiles, a novel technique for representing and designing velocity fields, which are divergence-free and hence suitable for representing a range of effects, and discusses issues that arise in designs, algorithms for creating tilings, and three applications.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Sampling plausible solutions to multi-body constraint problems
Stephen Chenney,David Forsyth +1 more
TL;DR: This paper extends simulation models to include plausible sources of uncertainty, and then uses a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to sample multiple animations that satisfy constraints, and provides a definition of physical plausibility for animations.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Group motion graphs
TL;DR: This work introduces Group Motion Graphs, a data-driven animation technique for groups of discrete agents, such as flocks, herds, or small crowds, that shows realistic motion at significantly reduced computational cost compared to simulation, and improved control.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Constrained animation of flocks
TL;DR: A new technique for the generation of constrained group animations is described that improves on existing approaches in two ways: the agents in the authors' simulations meet exact constraints at specific times, and their simulations retain the global properties present in unconstrained motion.
