In one example, the animation generation device 101 may generate the original character 102 using an animation tool based on a 2D, 3D based PC mobile platform.

Accordingly, the original character 102 may be a picture or a picture drawn through an animation tool, and may be an image of a person or an object appearing in the animation. In addition, the original character 102 refers to an image drawn or stored by the user, and may provide the original character 102 that the user wants to use among the images to the character management server 103.

In other words, the animation generation device 101 may transmit the original character 102 to the character management device 103 in order to convert it into a rigging character 105 usable for animation.

The character management device 103 may convert the original character 102 received from the animation generation device 101 into a rigging character 105. The character management device 103 may extract a plurality of feature points for each partial area of the original character 102. The character management apparatus 103 may generate a rigging character by giving rigging elements of the original character 102 using a plurality of feature points.

In addition, the character management apparatus 103 may design various deformation elements (Deformers) and muscle models (Muscles) for representing the fine movement of the original character 102. The character management device 103 may perform a skinning process. In detail, the animation generating apparatus 101 may set the vertex weights of the vertex forming a muscle model in which the skeleton structure and the deformable elements can actually affect the original character 102. For example, the animation generation device 101 may be performed using a painting interface using a mouse in an animation program such as Maya or 3DS Max.

The character management device 103 may generate a controller and handles for manipulating the skeleton structure and the deforming devices. The character management device 103 automatically combines various types of dummy objects and constraints, or inverse kinematics to automatically convert the original character 102 to the rigging character 105.

The animation generating device 201 may generate an original motion of the rigging character by controlling a specific body part of the rigging character based on the concept of the animation. For example, when the rigging element is provided to the arm and leg joints of the rigging character, the animation generating device 201 may give the rigging character an original motion by moving the arm and leg of the rigging character.

Here, the user's input may be performed through touch input through a touch screen, coordinate value setting, voice recognition, motion recognition, and the like. It is not limited to this.

Referring to FIG. 3, the character management server 301 may receive the original character 302 for conversion to the rigging character 304 from the animation generating device. The original character 302 may be a character before being processed as a rigging character applicable to animation. In one example, the character management server 301 may receive the original character 302 of any one of a character provided by the character management server 301, a picture and an image stored in the animation generation device, from the animation generation device.

The character management server 301 may generate a rigging character 304 by extracting a plurality of feature points for each partial area of the character and assigning rigging elements to the original character 302 using the plurality of feature points. Here, the rigging element of the original character 102 is based on the hierarchical skeleton and joint structure of the character, the position of the joint, the direction of movement of the joint, the NURBS surface, the vertex of the muscle geometry based on the polygon mesh, the muscle It can be characterized as a three-dimensional property including control points of geometry, vertex-based skinning deformation element handles, dummy objects, and constraint elements.

If the rigging character is a human, the rigging character corresponding to a person can be largely divided into the head, neck, chest (waist), hip (pelvis), thigh, shin, foot, upper arm, lower arm, and hand. It consists of each pair and can be divided into 16 parts. When the rigging character is a group 4 animal, the rigging character corresponding to the group 4 animal varies in the type of animal, and as the lengths of the arms, legs, neck, and waist are different, the character management device is configured accordingly. Considering the number, you can divide the rigging character corresponding to a group 4 animal.

Here, the rigging character's point of view can be represented by a frontal view and a side view, and the rigging character from the frontal view can be simplified to 12 pieces or elaborated into 20 pieces, or 10 pieces if the character is a short 2nd head. Can be divided. In one example, when the production of a rigging character is requested, the character management apparatus may perform a task of separating a picture and forming a skeleton in a manner of adjusting a length by substituting a skeleton corresponding to the character.
