AVENUE: An Integrated 3-D Animation System

The present paper emphasized a total approach to 3-D computer animation, based on AVENUE. An integrated animation system needs to support all kinds of animation, and AVENUE has this potential, since it supports smooth object modeling, motion specification, and rendering. The authors describe the system concept[1], a modeling method using a geometry language, and a motion specification method using a 3-D interactive parametric keyframe and rule based motion analysis. They also explain a rendering technique that uses sub-division technique for CSG(Constructive Solid Geometry) with deformation.
