Abstract

Anime de Blog is an animation consumer generated media (CGM) by which we can create blogs with animation content; the system can collect 3D animation and image data. The animations or image data are searched for and selected from shared consumer-generated databases by using simple words. If users cannot find appropriate data, they can easily create new data by using the provided animation editor and upload it by entering related words. Our animation database, Animebase, correlates natural language with three-dimensional animation data. When an animation is uploaded, the system applies the motion data of this model to other models and generates new animations, which are then stored in Animebase. Anime de Blog has been put up on the Web as a test installation. This paper describes the system and a follow-up report of the test installation.
