Automatic In-between Frames of Snappy Animation using Linear Interpolation

Abstract

: This paper aims to study methods for performing transition to produce specific formulas to generate in-between frames of snappy animation pose automatically from two input key frames. By using linear interpolation in looking for a value between given training data set of the referral movement of animation, this study can obtain five formulas. Based on the two given key frames, the formulas can generate in- between frames automatically. The formulas have been applied to a 3D hand model, and the result shows that it can produce in-between frames of snappy animation automatically, and it also reduces the time needed to produce the key frames that are usually made by hand key frame.
