An Object-Oriented Approach for Modelling Animated Entities

  • Conference paper
Book cover Computer Animation ’90

Abstract

In this paper we present why and how to construct object-oriented graphical animation packages from existing low-level graphics packages interfaced with an object oriented language supporting inheritance and dynamic binding.
