The Graphics, Visualization, and Usability Center Animation Lab at Georgia Tech University has set a goal of developing techniques to produce realistic computer animation of people, animals and robots. Examples of several research projects are provided at this Web site. The projects cover such topics as the simulation of human runners, the modeling of clothing, simulation of the splash created by a platform diver, and simulation of a gymnastic vault. Each page discusses some of the background and approach taken in the creation of the imagery. Still JPEG images and MPEG animations are available to illustrate the solutions discussed in the papers.
