Donald House, John C. Keyser

Foundations of Physically Based Modeling and Animation (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Computer games, animation and modeling all have a common root in physics. It is only through the application of physics and mathematics that computer generated characters and objects can come to life. Physically Based Modeling and Animation goes behind the scenes of computer animation and details the mathematical, algorithmic, and numerical equations that make up the movement of virtual characters, as well as, the worlds they reside in. Dr. Donald House and Dr. John Keyser offer an approachable, hands-on view of the equations and programming that help guide the reader through the foundations of this field and help them in mastering everything they need to know in order to refine their creations.

Autorenporträt

Donald H. House is Professor and Chair of the Division of Visual Computing in the School of Computing at Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina, USA. He received his Ph.D. in Computer and Information Sciences from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer, and his B.S. in Mathematics from Union College. His early research was in cloth simulation, and physically based animation. More recently his focus has been on cognitive and perceptual optimization of visualizations under uncertainty.

John C. Keyser is Professor and Associate Department Head for Academics in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina, and B.S. degrees in Applied Math, Engineering Physics, and Computer Science from Abilene Christian University. His research has spanned a range of computer graphics topics, with particular emphasis in physically based simulation and solid modeling.
