Visual Surrealism

• 1917 by Guillaume Apollinaire
• Dream like quality
• Super realism writing, verbally or any other
  means of thought
• Extends to animation

3
Introduction

• Images indistinguishable from reality
• Nadia Thanlmann (human forms)
• Badler (Human forms)
• Many examples from movies and films

4
Motivation

• 2D Morphing
• Surrealism evident in Morphing (Willow)
• Field Morphing technique

Extensions from Field Morphing

• Multiple segments define an area which remains
  constant
• Polygonal extents provides consistent morphing
  with ghosting reduction

Summary

• Results are more realistic as we can control some
  immovable parts during morphing
• Multiple line segments and their choice determine
  the quality of animation

12
Future Work

• Defining the areas automatically
• Extensions to 3D during motion capture
