Making Them Move: Mechanics, Control & Animation of Articulated Figures

by Norman I. Badler, Brian A. Barsky, David Zeltzer, et al.

Current computer graphics hardware and software make it possible to synthesize near photo-realistic images, but the simulation of natural-looking motion of articulated figures remains a difficultand challenging task.
