Simulating humans: computer graphics animation and control
TL;DR: This chapter discusses human figure models, an interactive system for postural control, and natural language expressions of kinematics and space, as well as a framework for instruction understanding.

Pump it up: computer animation of a biomechanically based model of muscle using the finite element method
David T. Chen,David Zeltzer +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the twin goals of realistic computer animation and valid biomechanical simulation of muscle can be met using these methods, providing a principled foundation both for animators wishing to create anatomically based characters and biomechanicals engineers interested in studying muscle function.

Computer animation
TL;DR: Computer animation is a natural way of visualizing the results obtained from the simulation and helps to understand physical laws by adding motion control to data in order to show their evolution over time.

A kinematic model of the human spine and torso
G. Monheit,Norman I. Badler +1 more
TL;DR: The model of spinal motion, which is represented within Jack (a software system for human figure modeling and manipulation), is described and the impact parameters, vertebral joint movement, and the spine database are considered.

Illumination for computer generated pictures
TL;DR: Human visual perception and the fundamental laws of optics are considered in the development of a shading rule that provides better quality and increased realism in generated images.
Illumination for computer-generated images.
TL;DR: In this paper, a new model for the shading of computer-generated images of objects in general and polygonally described free-form curved surfaces in particular is described, where the shading function is determined by a linear interpolation of the curvature of the surface.

Digital Representations of Human Movement
TL;DR: The interpretation of one partmular notation system, Labanotatlon, is examined to extract a set of "primitive movement concepts" which can be used to animate a realistic human body on a graphics display.
