Perancangan Storyboard Konten Animasi 3 Dimensi Untuk Edukasi Anak Usia Sekolah Dasar Tentang Mitigasi Penyebaran COVID-19

The spread of the COVID-19 virus has been widespread all over the world since its discovery in 2019. However, the spread of this virus can be prevented by means of health protocols conforming to World Health Organization standards. The Indonesian government continues to educate the public, especially school-aged children, to understand how to implement the health protocol. On the basis of the foregoing, it is necessary to carry out research on the creation of an interactive media based on multimedia content that can be used to educate on COVID-19 prevention, specifically for elementary school children. The research begins with problem analysis, storyboard writing, creating 3D animation characters, and merging all content into a complete 3D animation video. The results of this study are 3D animated multimedia content which presents 3D animated scenes on the application of health protocols such as hand washing with soap, wear masks and keep distance.

The modelling and implementation of the virtual 3D animation scene based on the geometric centre-of-mass algorithm

Abstract In the process of modernisation, the essence of virtual 3D animation scene modelling is to enhance the rendering effect of animation, so designers need to understand and skilfully use virtual reality technology. During the scene modelling, the system perception module will obtain the perception information on the basis of understanding the behaviour state of the role, and thus provide the data basis for the emotion module and the behaviour module. Among them, the emotion module is mainly used to adjust the emotional changes of the role, and the behaviour module is mainly used to build the motion database. So this article after understanding the current situation on the basis of the virtual 3D animation scene modelling, use the geometric centroid algorithm for virtual 3D animation scene modelling technology to realise in-depth understanding, and the final results prove that the build system can not only clear intuitive present animation image, but can be in effective connection also, on the basis of multiple motion clips, to maintain the original movement in detail.

Digital model creation and image meticulous processing based on variational partial differential equation

Abstract In the application of digital model of animation scene, image restoration technology and image denoising technology are the basic tasks of practical operation, which are closely related, but there exist also essential differences. The reason is that both of them want to obtain the original image from the degraded noise image or damaged image, but generally speaking, as there is no sufficient constraint information to accurately recover the original image, both of them are unwell-posed inverse problems. Therefore, on the basis of understanding the basic content and application research status of variational partial differential equations (PDEs), this paper discusses the application value of variational PDEs in image denoising and restoration according to the image processing requirements in the digital model of animation scenes.

3D Modeling for Kitchen Scene in a Hospital

This research focused on hospital diet management to explore the design of 3D models for kitchen scenes and the facilities of a hospital. Hospital diet management has standard operating procedures, but most people have never seen the kitchen environment within a hospital. Hence, the ongoing research highlights the foodservice procedure and makes a live-action film to complete 3D modeling and animated scenes within a hospital. This research applied the 3ds Max and other multimedia technologies in the medical and healthcare fields. The presentation of the virtualized scene and facilities is realistic and detailed. This research illustrates that the diet management process can be done quickly by 3D modeling and animation. It can also be applied to healthcare education and train new employees who need to understand the carrier’s details as soon as possible.

Multi‐level tetrahedralization‐based accelerator for ray‐tracing animated scenes

AbstractWe describe a hybrid acceleration structure for ray tracing. The hybrid structure is a Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) where the leaf nodes are tetrahedralized for a decent ray‐surface intersection performance. We use the hybrid acceleration structure (BTH) in a two‐level acceleration structure for rendering animated scenes. There is a BVH at the top level in this two‐level structure and the proposed hybrid structure (BTH) at the bottom level. We test the proposed two‐level structure (BVH‐BTH) for various animated scenes and obtained promising results against other acceleration structures in terms of rendering times. The two‐level BVH‐BTH structure outperforms the two‐level BVH structure for the tested dynamic scenes.

MBKD: Acceleration structure designed for moving primitives

We present a k-d tree construction algorithm designed to accelerate rendering of scenes with motion blur, in application scenarios where a k-d tree is either required or desired. Our associated data structure focuses on capturing incoherent motion within the nodes of a k-d tree and improves both data structure quality and efficiency over previous methods. At building time, we track primitives with motion that is significantly distinct from other primitives within the node, guarantee valid node references and the correctness of the data structure via primitive duplication heuristic and propagation rules. Then, we incorporate filtering heuristics to limit the propagation of primitives, and eliminate some incorrect duplicated references that may invalidate node references. We also demonstrate a strategy for updating existing MBKD for animated scenes. Our experiments with this hierarchy show artifact-free motion-blur rendering using a k-d tree, and demonstrate improvements against a traditional BVH with interpolation and a MSBVH structure designed to handle moving primitives, particularly in render time.

Changing patterns of stylistic diversity in Blackfoot biographic art across the nineteenth century

During the nineteenth century, biographic art was used to depict events representing a warrior's most prominent accomplishments. These compositions were narrative in form, designed to be read by anyone familiar with the conventions embedded within their animated scenes. Accordingly, these artifacts are genuine historical documents, which – as part of a chronological sequence – record true a history that unfolds over decades. Here, using an established multivariate seriation method (PCo), we examine patterns of stylistic change and diversity in mobiliary biographic artworks of the Blackfoot (Niitsítapi). We are able to further demonstrate the power of this method, correctly placing three previously unanalyzed works within the chronological sequence, as well as dating two previously undated artworks. This sequence also sheds light on the biographic rock art of the region. Moreover, specific stylistic patterns and trends of change can demonstrably be tied to broader socio-economic features documented in the historical and ethnohistorical records of Blackfoot peoples.

Application of Computer Graphic Technology in Animated Scene

Animated scene design directedly refers to other styling design besides character design, which plays extremely important role in animated films. Scenes usually vary with plots of story, highlighting atmosphere and style of animation. Therefore, design of animated scene conveys characteristics of both technology and art. This article illustrates the specific application of computer graphic technology in animated scene, featuring the animation, the man on the stage, made by self.

Searching to improve learning from complex animated basketball scenes: when decreasing the presentation speed is more efficient than using segmentation

ABSTRACT In two separate experiments, the authors investigated how a complex animated basketball scene should be designed in order to avoid the high cognitive load due to the transient nature of information. Using system-paced segments and decreasing the video’s presentation speed were tested as instructional strategies to reduce students’ cognitive load. The effectiveness of continuous versus segmented videos was explored in the first experiment. The second experiment compared the effectiveness of normal versus low levels of presentation speed. The results indicated that while the segmentation strategy has no significant effect on learning outcomes, students profited more from the low than the normal presentation speed, as evidenced by the more favourable relationship between mental effort investment and game performance. These findings suggest that decreasing the presentation speed is an efficient instructional strategy that helps to improve learning from complex animated basketball scenes.

Functionality and Artistry in 3d Animation Scene Design

The design of 3d animation scene includes functionality and artistry. The functionality includes explaining the spatial relationship of film and television animation, creating atmosphere, highlighting roles, scene scheduling within the scene, and enhancing visual impact. Artistry means creating an atmosphere with composition, models, materials and lighting. Both complement each other, be short of one cannot, functional sex contains artistic quality, artistic quality promotes functional sex function. Therefore, they are two indispensable factors in 3d animation scene design. This article combines own graduation creation experience to talk about oneself to above question understanding and understanding.

A comparative study of animation versus static effects in the spatial concept-based metaphor awareness-raising approach on EFL learners’ cognitive processing of request strategies

abstractThis study evaluates the relative effects of two cognitive linguistic approaches – using animated versus static scenes in an illustration based on the spatial concept-oriented metaphor – and a non-cognitive linguistic approach on the Japanese EFL learners’ processing of request strategies with degrees of politeness. The cognitive linguistic approach consisted of applying the metaphor politeness is distance in the teaching of different degrees of politeness. It involved a spatial concept projection through which participants could understand degrees of politeness in terms of the spatially visualized concepts of near–far and high–low relationships associated with three social variables – closeness, power, and speaker difficulty – in either animated or static illustration. In contrast, the non-cognitive linguistic approach involved rote learning of target English polite requests in a list. The results demonstrated that the static version of the cognitive linguistic approach enabled participants to process degrees of politeness and perform as well as those who underwent the animated version. Moreover, the animation effects did not appear to have had a major impact on the overall performance of groups subjected to both cognitive language approaches. The results also showed that the cognitive linguistic approach groups outperformed the non-cognitive linguistic approach and control groups.

Retracted] Interactive Innovation Research on Film Animation Based on Maya‐Unity Animation Simulation of Visual Sensor

At present, enhancing the understanding of the importance of the development of cultural and creative industries and grasping the future development trends of the whole society has become the primary issue for the development of this industry in our country. The main work of this paper is based on the interactive innovation research of visual sensor Maya‐Unity animation simulation in film and television animation. Maya Unity puts the required lights on the model, adds texture materials, etc., selects all objects, and uses the “Mesh‐ > Combine” command. Then, open “Create UV‐>Automatic Mapping” for these objects to perform the UV operation. Open “Window‐> UV Texture Editor” and check the new UV for baking. First, the article introduces an overview of the development of cultural and creative industries and the application status of virtual simulation technology in film and television animation. Then, the article introduces the characteristics of visual sensors and interactive design ideas. The scene view displays the document from a graphical perspective, while the code view displays the text content of the document. Both views must be displayed in the split window Dreamer, and only one view can be displayed at the same time; so, it is necessary to establish a button for scene and code switching. The animation scene will change with the passage of time following the development of the story. Therefore, in the lighting design, the animation changes of light intensity and color temperature should be produced. The time to complete a frame of image matching is 135 ms, and to complete a feature measurement, 8 frames of images are used for template matching, and then the average coordinate value is calculated, which takes about 135 × 8 = 1080 ms, which meets the system requirements. The main effect of the text effect is very significant, F = 13.780, P < 0.001. Comparison of effect between development and middle to two sides, P = 0.02, P < 0.05. The results show that the use of Maya‐Unity software for animation simulation can make the rendering of the animation more beautiful.

The Application of Formal Beauty in the Artistic Design of Animation Scenes—Using Legend of Deification as an Example

Formal beauty is a kind of beauty without the help of experience and transcendence, and the creators of formal beauty can reproduce it through the use of formal rules. In the process of long-term practice, the rules of formal beauty have been summarized and abstracted, with many regular understandings coming into being, such as change and unity, rhythm and rhyme, balance and symmetry, hierarchy and harmony, etc.; hence a series of rules about formal beauty have been formed[1]. This kind of transcendental beauty can reappeared through the arrangement of visual rules. In this paper, the animation film Legend of Deification which was adapted from the traditional Chinese myth novel The Investiture of the Gods and newly released in China, was used as an example to discuss and analyze the artistic design in its animation scenes.

Retracted] Application of Photoshop Graphics and Image Processing in the Field of Animation

With the rapid development of digital art and machine science and technology, the production form of modern animation tends to be diversified, and with the important role of animation color in the animation film foil and rendering, more and more attention was paid by the animation design industry. Computer graphic technology is a new type of artistic creation method, and its birth and development are closely related to computer technology. The purpose of this paper is to make some analysis and induction from the perspective of science and technology and culture and to explore the application of Photoshop graphics and image processing technology in the field of animation. First, the definition of “animation” and the extension of the animation category are introduced. Then, the main functions of Photoshop image processing technology are described in detail. According to the research content, this paper designs a self‐made experimental short film “future city.” After the simulation of experimental animation film and the setting and positioning of the experimental scene, Photoshop software was used to show the animation scene. The experimental results show that the color changes in the short film “future city.” After the saturation of sunny scenery is reduced by 3 points and the brightness is reduced by 20 points and the filter, mode change, and color adjustment are carried out, a complete rainy scenery can be obtained. The self‐made experimental short film has guiding significance for the creation and practice.

The Golden Age of Spanish Animation (1939–1951)

During the 1940s, the Spanish animation industry based in Barcelona reached a high technical level. Despite the Franco dictatorship and austerity following the Spanish Civil War, the Catalan animation industry produced feature-length films that bore comparison with those made elsewhere in Europe. This article looks at the reasons for and the nature of Barcelona’s Golden Age of Animation, and follows the steps on the industry’s path to technical mastery. The author revisits the history of the Spanish Golden Age of Animation (which lasted from 1939 to 1951) in the context of the international animation scene at the time.

Does Digital Nature Enhance Social Aspirations? An Experimental Study

Loneliness and social isolation are increasingly recognized as important challenges of our times. Inspired by research hinting at beneficial effects of interacting with nature on social connectedness and opportunities provided by ambient technology to simulate nature in a rich and engaging manner, this study explored to what extent digital nature projections can stimulate social aspirations and related emotions. To this end, participants (N = 96) were asked to watch, individually or in pairs, digital nature projections consisting of animated scenes which were either dense or spacious and depicting either wild or tended nature. Subsequently, they filled out a questionnaire comprising measures for social aspirations, awe and fascination. Results show that spacious scenes elicited significantly higher social aspiration and awe scores, especially when watching alone. Design implications are discussed for making digital nature accessible for people with limited access to real nature.

“That rare gift: perfect hands on a horse”: Radclyffe Hall’s eros of cross-species communion

ABSTRACTScholars of Radclyffe Hall’s fiction have focused primarily on her advocacy for human gender and sexual freedom; however, closer attention to human-animal connections in her work reveals concern for equity across species lines as well. The Well of Loneliness (1928) in many ways challenges the human-animal binary just as powerfully as it does gender and sexual binaries. By narrating multi-species relationships marked by kinetic body play, the novel suggests that eroticism can be a harmonizing force that traverses deeply-ingrained social boundaries between animals of all kinds. By examining the protagonist’s interactions with her animal friends, I argue that Hall’s text privileges intimate, unspoken gestures of body and voice over the more confining structures of human language. Hall also implements grammatical constructs in animal scenes that open possibilities for co-forming, co-shaping interrelationality, a narrative move that acknowledges and appreciates, rather than ignores, radical alterity between species. Ultimately, I argue, Hall envisions a rehabilitative ecological vision for human and nonhuman animals, writing all creatures as co-constitutive actors within the intimate spaces they share.

A Method of Scene Boundary Detection for Indexing Video Data Efficiently

In a cell animation, a background scene is presented with one cell. When animation scenes are changed, a relatively large scene change occurs because their backgrounds are also changed. Unlike a camera-based real movie, a cell animation is made in the way of manual drawing. For this reason, such animation does not use many colors. In order to apply the characteristics of animations as most as possible and detect a scene change of a cell animation effectively, this study proposes a new scene change detection technique with the stepwise use of the color and block-based histograms. The proposed algorithm receives continuous animation images as input, changes the RGB color space into the HSI color space, executes the difference operation of color values of the two images, and thereby primarily determines whether the neighboring images are scene change candidates. If they are judged to be scene change candidates, the color histogram for each sub-region is made, and then a weight value is applied to finally determine whether a scene change occurs. To compare the proposed scene change detection method with conventional scene change detection methods, the block-based scene change detection method and the histogram-based scene change detection method as conventional ones were implemented. In this study, to qualitatively evaluate the performance of the proposed method of detecting scene boundaries, the accuracy measure was defined. The two conventional algorithms are not complicated relatively and are widely used to extract a scene change. The experiment of this study reveals that the proposed method more accurately detects an animation scene change than other conventional methods. The proposed animation scene boundary detection method is expected to be applied usefully to the fields of digital video data indexing and retrieval, dynamic motion analysis, and other related areas.
