Perception Based Character Modeling and Animation

This thesis explores how humans identify sex (male or female) and judge gender (masculine or feminine) and attractiveness of a computer animated walker. Hip and shoulder movements during the walk cycle and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of the walking figure were systematically manipulated to construct th...
