Creating and Animating the Virtual World (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1992)

This book contains several invited papers and a selection of research papers submitted to Computer Animation '92, the fourth international workshop on Computer Animation, which was held in Geneva on May 20-22. This workshop, now an annual event, has been organized by the Computer Graphics Society, the University of Geneva, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. During the international workshop on Computer Animation '92, the fifth Computer-generated Film Festival of Geneva, was held. The book presents original research results and applications experience in various areas of computer animation. This year most papers are related to physics-based animation, human animation, and geometric modelling for animation.
