Abstract :
The application of visual programming techniques in a computer animation environment is described. By combining the possibilities of an interactive animator-oriented user interface, a unified and integrated curve paradigm, and visual language constructs, a system in which the utilization of graphics brings programming capabilities to nonprogramming animators is obtained. An integrated curve paradigm that can produce sophisticated animations is discussed. Examples are given
