The human model is composed of three layers: skeleton, muscle, and skin. The skeleton layer, represented by a set of joints and bones, controls the animation of the human body using inverse kinematics. Muscles are represented with action lines that are defined by a set of control points. An action line applies the force produced by a muscle on the bones and on the skin mesh. The skin layer is modeled as a 3D mesh and deformed during animation by binding the skin layer to both the skeleton and muscle layers. The skin is deformed by a two-step algorithm according to the current state of the skeleton and muscle layers. Performance experiments show that it is possible to obtain real-time frame rates for a moderately complex human model containing approximately 33,000 triangles on the skin layer. © 2006 IEEE.EnglishAction lineInverse kinematicsMulti-layered human modelsRenderingSkinningAnimationBoneInformation analysisInformation scienceInformation systemsInverse kinematicsSkinVisualization3D meshescontrol pointsCurrent stateHuman bodieshuman modellingHuman-Body-Model (BMG)Information visualizationMulti-layeredMuscle layersReal time frame ratesRealistic renderingSkin layersMuscleConference Paper10.1109/IV.2006.89
