ABSTRACT
In the regular act of CG design, editing 3D models from excellent commercial software GUIs seems almost equivalent to a sculptor carving a Japanese cypress, or molding clay into a sculpture. There is nothing in this direct operational environment that will cause the user to experience complicated mathematical calculations. Many have forgotten that CG creation is built upon numbers. However, the 3D models that we create from this illusionary act of formation are simply numbers in memory space, far removed from sculptures or statues that are real-space models. If we cannot touch them with our hands, they also do not communicate the accumulation of time required for creation. How can I, who so loves creating things, fill the sense of loss that this has created? Now I feel that I require a clear division between "sculpting to experience the finer points of being a creator" and "editing numbers with a calculator." This product minimizes the work done using the GUI, and is computer animation created using procedural programming.

Computer-assisted animation of line and paint in Disney's Paperman
SIGGRAPH '12: ACM SIGGRAPH 2012 TalksWe present a system which allows animators to combine CG animation's strengths -- temporal coherence, spatial stability, and precise control -- with traditional animation's expressive and pleasing line-based aesthetic. Our process begins as an ordinary ...
The line of action: an intuitive interface for expressive character posing
The line of action is a conceptual tool often used by cartoonists and illustrators to help make their figures more consistent and more dramatic. We often see the expression of characters---may it be the dynamism of a super hero, or the elegance of a ...
Line-Drawing Video Stylization
We present a method to automatically convert videos and CG animations to stylized animated line drawings. Using a data-driven approach, the animated drawings can follow the sketching style of a specific artist. Given an input video, we first extract ...
