algorithmic animation [2 records]

Record 1 2021-12-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

In this kind of animation, called algorithmic animation, modeled animation, or procedural animation, motion is algorithmically described by a list of transformations ... Each transformation is defined by parameters ... These parameters may change during the animation according to any physical law ...

CONT

Goals of algorithmic animation include assisting artists in creating animated pieces, simulating phenomena in nature, and producing behavior that appears intelligent.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Infographie
DEF

[...] méthode d'animation par ordinateur qui est fondée sur les lois de la physique.

CONT

On distingue, entre autres, trois type de techniques [d'animation] : l'animation par images clés, l'animation paramétrique par images clés et l'animation algorithmique.

OBS

Par exemple, simuler la croissance d'une plante qui en même temps change de couleur.

CONT

[La] técnica llamada animación algorítmica controla el movimiento mediante la aplicación de reglas que determinan cómo deben moverse los objetos. Cuando se han especificado los objetos y su comportamiento, la filmadora virtual digitaliza cada escena fotograma a fotograma. Por último, se reproduce la secuencia animada final.

CONT

Algorithm animations have been helping not only the teachers in illustrating algorithm operations effectively, but also a vast number of students in learning the difficult parts of algorithms and data structures.

CONT

Algorithms consist of a sequence of operations whose effect on data structures can be visualized using a computer. Students learn algorithms by stepping the animation through the different individual operations, possibly reversing their effect. Algorithmic animation seems to improve the student's understanding of algorithms, but mainly when they can become active participants, not just spectators.

DEF

Simulation graphique du fonctionnement des algorithmes informatiques.

CONT

Les chercheurs tirent des conclusions différentes. Les uns avancent que l'utilisation des animations pour faciliter l'apprentissage des algorithmes est moins bénéfique pour l'apprentissage que ce que l'on espérait. C'est sans doute vrai dans certains cas; il n'en reste pas moins que si l'animation algorithmique est conçue de manière efficace et utilisée convenablement en plus d'autres méthodes, elle peut tout à fait faciliter l'apprentissage.

CONT

La animación de algoritmos es una parte del área de visualización de software que recibe mucha atención tanto por el impacto que tiene en la productividad del desarrollo de aplicaciones como en el ámbito de la enseñanza.
