Video from our SIGGRAPH 2004 Paper
We provide automated methods for identifying logically similar motions in a data set and using them to build a continuous and intuitively parameterized space of motions.

We construct high-quality skins for characters that can run on traditional runtimes from a set of examples.

Many motion editing algorithms are forms of a general operation called motion blending. We introduce registration curves, which allow a wider class of motions to be blended without manual input.
Unpublished work on animation that extends Motion Paths.
This video shows off work we did in 2003, but was never published. The student graduated before we were able to complete the paper.

Video accompaniment to our I3D 2003 paper.
We present an approach to character motion called Snap-Together Motion that addresses the unique demands of virtual environments. Snap-Together Motion (STM) preprocesses a corpus of motion capture examples into a set of short clips that can be concatenated to make continuous streams of motion.
