Programming Final Proposal

Student: Keith Kelley

Concept: Create a visual display for thesis data

Description: Develop a program that can take skeletal animation in two different states (such as walking & running), and smoothly transition between them utilizing a slider. The possibility of adding multiple sliders representing different attributes.

Goals
• Utilize animations produced in Maya or motion capture data
• Transition from two states using a slider
• Develop simple interface
• Limit visibility on parts of skeleton or marker points (e.g. spine)

Skills to review
• Tasks 12 gestures
• Task 13 Key related events

Upcoming concepts
Mel scripting

Progress Report

1. Motion Capture Text file acquired
Motion Capture Text File

2. Designed basic interface

Here's the reference for the slider
www.cs.uic.edu/~reed/Papers/ KBS%20Paper%202.htm

Projected Next Due Date Tuesday, December 3
• Slider functioning
• Marker Removal Buttons (MRB); have feature functioning
• Dots on screen that reacts to MRB

XML Code: This code represents the motion capture text file displayed in flash.
The use of XML was abandoned because of two reasons: Time constraints and the goals of the thesis project (the thesis display required modeling to be shown, thus clips became suitable for the task).

//
var xmlFile = "mocap3.xml";
//
//
this.onLoad = function() {
// when movie loads, initiate parsing of xml file
// XmlHandler will call _root.xmlReady() when done
XmlHandler.loadFile(xmlFile);
};
//
//
function xmlReady(rootNode) {
// xml parsed and ready, so time to display
var dataString = "";
var frame = XmlHandler.getChildrenByName(rootNode, "frame");
//creates an array for frame
for (var f = 0; f<frame.length; f++) {
var marker = XmlHandler.getChildrenByName(frame[f], "marker");
for (var m = 0; m<marker.length; m++) {
var markerName = marker[m].attributes.name;
//marker name is node
var MarkerX = marker[m].attributes.x;
var MarkerY = marker[m].attributes.y;
var markerString = markerName+" ("+MarkerX+")"+"\r"+MarkerY+"\r";
dataString += markerString+"\r";
}
}
textField.text = dataString;
}
