Abstract

We present a generic animation and simulation platform which integrates the different animation models: descriptive, generative and behavioural models. The integration of these models in the same platform offers to each dynamic entity a more realistic and a richer environment, and thereby increases possible interactions between an actor and its environment. Therefore we describe the kernel of the platform, then we explain how it is used from the programmer´s point of view and we illustrate its use in the field of driving simulation
