Interactive computer animation

Computer animation has been considered for many years as a new media for advertising and special effects in films. More recently, the fast development of powerful workstations has led to new areas like multimedia, interactive games and virtual reality. For these areas, interactive animation has become a key issue. Tackling the challenge of creating human motion through a computer, this book examines specific techniques such as cloth, hair and facial animation, and the co-ordination of animated objects.
