Simon Clavet is bringing his talent to TiMi Studio Group!
A pioneer in procedural animation for gaming, he now joins our TiMi Montreal team to help us get our unannounced AAA open world multiplayer project in the hands of gamers worldwide.

How can we measure the cost of transitioning between two different animations? In this blog post I propose a solution based on the assumption of inertialization blending - involving (as usual) some playing around with spring equations!

I've just added a basic implementation of Learned Motion Matching to my previous Motion Matching demo. Hopefully useful to anyone working on this stuff. Results aren't visually any different (as intended), but still cool to see LMM running in the browser!

.@ZivaDynamics presented a machine learning-based system that converts character head meshes into real-time puppets capable of expressing over 72,000 facial shapes within an hour. The video is a real-time demo running in UE5

Another article - this time on joint limits, and how we can automatically compute them from data.

I've also added interactive web demos for this article and my previous article on code vs data driven displacement - much more fun to play with!

Turns out I just live coded a simple motion matching setup. Trying to keep it extensible but still cache friendly. youtube.com/watch?v=jcpIrw38…

I made a wave based light simulation that runs in real time in a browser. Models effects like dispersion, diffraction, redshift/blueshift, and beam divergence!

It's pretty awesome how dancing makes robots less intimidating. Looking forward to seeing more nontrivial Machine Learning on these robots. Credit: Boston Dynamics.

Happy to announce our new SIGGRAPH paper this year - Learned Motion Matching. We use Machine Learning to vastly reduce the memory usage of Motion Matching - allowing it to scale to huge databases of animation. Check out the blog post for more info: montreal.ubisoft.com/en/intr…

Our new #ECCV2020 paper uses learned foot contact estimation and trajectory optimization to reconstruct physically-plausible 3D human motion from video. Check it out!

I am very excited to share our #SIGGRAPH2020 work on deep learning for character animation and control, introducing the concept of local motion phases. If #neuralnetworks, #games, #basketball and #dogs are your thing, do not look any further! Project Page: github.com/sebastianstarke/A…

Cool new game or VFX demo?
Cutting edge technical results?
Practical solution to common industry problem?
This year SCA is doing a "Showcases" track for people in the animation community to show off their latest work in the most simple way possible.

Added a heightfield-camera feature that measures the terrain so the dude can be trained to walk on rough surfaces and step over gaps. The green blobs are his foot positions. The red tint is how far the terrain is below the hips. #madewithunity #mlagents

You're about to spend the next 25 minutes watching a guy solve a Sudoku.
Not only that, but it's going to be the highlight of your day.
