Objectives
Create a multimedia tool integrating 3D Real time graphics, animation and sound to design “electronic scores”. The final goal is a tool to aid directors and creative people to design the score of a Theatre play, a film or a tv program using a low cost computational platform (PC). The main modules of the tool were -Animation module, to design movements of camera and actors. -Graphics module: To design stages, lights and render the scene -Audio module: To produce the sounds, voices,... -The automatic score control module: To design the temporary items and synchronize.
The tool was developed and became operative.
Main Results
- Scientific results:
Several papers at international congresses
- Material results:
Final prototype Operative prototype
- Applicative results
Virtual theatrical shows planning and rehearsal tool.
