BAAP: A Behavioral Animation Authoring Platform for Emotion Driven 3D Virtual Characters
Abstract
Emotion, as an important aspect of human
intelligence, has been playing a significant role in virtual characters.
We propose an improved three-level structure of affective model as
"personality-emotion-mood" for intelligent and emotional virtual
characters. We also present the emotion state space, as well as the
emotion updating functions, to generate authentic and expressive
emotions. In order to achieve the complexity and variety of behaviors,
we bring forward a behavior organizing structure as the behavior tree,
which defines four kinds of behavior organizations as well as the
behavior tag and behavior message, to manage virtual characters'
behaviors. At the end, we achieve an experimental platform BAAP, which
prove our emotion model and behavior organizing structure to be
effective and practical in generating intelligent and emotional
behavioral animations.
