Abstract

A method that converts high-level scripts into 3D animations uses natural language for fast prototyping. The proposed method first transforms the natural language script into the metadata with high-level semantics, then matches the metadata to several motion clips in the motion databases, and finally, synthesizes these motion clips into a 3D animation.
