Abstract | The BML sequencer is a tool to allow artists to create SmartBody compliant BML [4] animation sequences for multiple virtual humans. SmartBody [3] allows for complex behavior realization, synchronizing speech recordings with non-verbal behaviors by using the Behavior Markup Language (BML) [4]. However, there remain two problems for using BML and smartbody to achieve the vision that an artist has for animating the character: the authoring problem and multi-party behavior syncronization. The BML Sequencer addresses both. |
