+
 
+
===NWIP's scope and responsibility===
+
 
+
Please add responsible persons for each item.
+
We recommend that the persons of responsibility work on draft and/or examples for conformance.
+
+
*1) Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion from captured motion data → Myeong and Joe
+
*2) Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion using 3D scanner data → Myeong and William
+
*3) Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion using a general motion definition such as keyframe, interpolation, kinematics, and dynamics for human figures → Myeong and Joe
+
*4) Definition of motion parameters for transferring or exchanging motion between different human character models → Myeong and Dick
+
*5) Definition of a motion data interface for including motion data → Myeong and Dick
+
*6) Definition of a motion viewer’s functionality → Myeong and Joe
+
*7) Definition of interoperable human behavior prototypes → Don, Myeong and William
+
*8) Guidelines for adding 3D skinning to humanoid characters → Joe and Don
+
*9) Definition of a recording interface for human motion such as gait → Don and William
+
*10) Provision for easier exchange of characters from design systems to H-Anim systems. → Myeong and Joe
+
 
+
This work is intended to define a standard model for humanoid animation including motion interfaces. It is an enhancement to the original H-Anim model of ISO/IEC 19774, and ISO/IEC 19774 Working Draft Amendment (WDAM) 1 in progress.
+
 
+
Document plan
+
* The motion-related work is expected to be integrated with the 19774 specification and the 19774 WDAM 1 documents into a new document.
+
* It may become appropriate and necessary to split the revised 19774 specification into multiple parts.
+
 
+
Formal submission of the H-Anim NWIP to ISO depends on working-group preparation of
+
* Initial Committee Draft (CD) specification text
+
* At least one draft implementation (with plans for a second)
+
* Working examples, validation, quality assurance (QA)
+

===Standards Development: Specifications===
+
 
+
Two primary specifications govern this work:  the X3D and the H-Anim International Standards.  The H-Anim standard describes functional information in full detail, while the X3D specification simply references this work and maps constructs into X3D nomenclature. Working group members: only refer to the official version as we confirm current capabilities and rejuvenate future work.

+
*Joe D. Williams

*Sandy Ressler

*Keith Victor

+
===Use Cases===
+
 
+
Working Group chairs keep the following pages up to date:
+
 
+
* We estimate there are upwards of 1,000 H-Anim Use Cases to fully characterize the human experience from the time all the bones of a human are formed or developed through
+
final disposition of the human body (mummification, cremation, burial, etc.). The vocabulary for human behavior (including misbehaving in all cultures, societies, etc.) serves as our baseline.
+
Ontologies, taxonomies, classifications, encyclopedia and handbooks for human behavior are starting points for deriving the skeletal and skin motions for each concept, term and
+
are categorized by:
+
 
+
1. duration of animation (measured in seconds: 3 - 30,000)
+
2. total joint angle displacement (displacement spectrum-percent of total possible displacement per joint)
+
3. angular rate of displaced joints (displacement speed spectrum - percent of maximum displacement)
+
4. simultaneity of joint displacement (percent of total joints in motion)
+
 
+
Moreover, this Working Group shall bin Use Cases in to those the WG are 1) likely to prototype 2) not likely to prototype and 3) will not prototype.
+
 
+
The complexity and duration of H-Anim scenes will correlate with the (actions) terms, (motions) concepts and (movements) behaviors of humans in natural and man-made environments with and without constraints of hand-held objects, clothing, etc.
+
 
+
Below are sample H-Anim Customer Segments (Authors and Consumers):

# Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion using a general motion definition such as keyframe, interpolation, kinematics and dynamics for human figures.

# Definition of motion parameters for transferring or exchanging motion between different human character models

+
We agreed on the 1 Feb 2012 teleconference that it is a good idea to document work on these many good ideas using this H-Anim public wiki. Further comment is welcome about this.
+
 
+
The main thing that is needed next is to get the H-Anim Working Group restarted and rejuvenated.
+
 
+
*H-Anim WG Charter
+
*TODO: we need 1-2 members who are willing to volunteer to serve as working group co-chairs.

== BVH conversion issues ==

+
Myeong Won Lee example: http://web3d.org/wiki/images/4/4b/197_a.bvh.txt
+
 
+
Proposed investigation procedure:
+
 
+
1. Is there an X3D H-Anim skeleton that corresponds to the BVH ROOT/JOINT HIERARCHY? Maybe we can build an X3D H-Anim LOA-1 model that has reasonable correspondences:
+
 
+
* HAnimHumanoid - ROOT
+
 
+
* HAnimJoint - JOINT
+
** HAnimJoint name - JOINT name
+
** center - OFFSET
+
** rotation, translation - CHANNEL
+
 
+
2.  Once we have the skeleton mapping, we can then build a Script node that takes
+
 
+
* BVH MOTION arrays providing Zrotation Xrotation Yrotation values
+
to
+
* corresponding MFRotation arrays with 4-tuple SFRotation values
+
 
+
3.  The arrays can then be driven by a TimeSensor and key values at frame-time increments of 0.016667
+
 
+
4.  With a little debugging, we can then combine the pieces to show corresponding animations in HAnim and BVH.
+
 
+
Don's recommendation: less talking, more doing.  Let's build a paired set of BVH and X3D models.
