Interactive 3D-Animation
Interactive 3D-Animation is a main field of study at the University of Ulm,
Faculty
of Computer Science,
Department of Media Informatics.
The project was the development of a 3D-Game with focus on character-animation.

In our project we used several OpenSource-Libraries and Engines! For more information on those visit the following pages!

We used the so called ODC-Engine which was also developed at the University of Ulm during another internal practical course. They had already written an exporter for Maya-Objects and Animations. They also had a working framework for the rendering and some more stuff. Special thanks to Holger Dammertz, who supported us all the time and told us lots of his knowledge about GameDev! |
In the beginning two teams used the ODE (OpenDynamicsEngine) by Russel Smith for their physical simulations. It worked, but the physics where too realistic so they finally used ODE only for collision detection.

We used the Cal3D-Library for our skeletal character-animations we had done in Maya to place and blend them in our Game. |
