The Problem

I wanted to create a system to animate scenes, and humanoid characters.

The long term idea is to eventually be able to create complex animations which can be exported & then applied to characters in a 2d game. This would take too long for a 427 assessment, so I've gone with the short term goal of having an interactive stickmen tool.

The system was fully designed and implemented for COSC427, and was not based on previous work. A screenshot of the current version is shown below.

System Goals

Within my 427 Project

  • Customisable backgrounds
  • Posable figures (Such as Stickmen)
  • Props
  • Extensible - so I can add the below feature eventually

Outside the scope of this project, but to be added in the future:

* Interpolation between keyframes
* Advanced Inverse Kinematics & Constraints on Joints
* Export angles & positions as animation file to be used in games
