Popis: | 3D-graphics are becoming popular in a steadily increasing number of areas such as entertainment, scientific visualization, simulation, and virtual reality. Despite this rapid growth the generation of animated 3D scenes is by no means trivial. Since animated 3D objects evolve over time the authors denote these objects as 4D. The article presents a novel approach to the rapid prototyping of 4D models. They introduce the AAL (Animated Agent Layer) system. AAL is an interpreter-based approach covering a textual (AAL-PR) as well as a visual command language (AAL-VL) for the specification of the dynamics in 4D scenes. AAL provides support for different levels of abstraction: primitives, structured objects, animated objects, and animated (autonomous) agents. |
