Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3661))

Abstract

We have developed a Platform Independent Architecture for Virtual Characters and Avatars (PIAVCA), a character animation system that aims to be independent of any underlying graphics framework and so be easily portable. PIAVCA supports body animation based on a skeletal representation and facial animation based on morph targets.

This work has been supported by BT plc and European Union FET project PRESENCIA, IST-2001-37927.
