Dungeon 1: The Charming Choreographer (Inverse Kinematics, 33g of total 100g). 1g may be exchanged

for a human percentage point in COMP5823M.

For the birthday celebration of Lord Spinhead, the Great Dancer Lady Anklesprainer is the master

choreographer. She has been designing a glorious but difficult dance show. After breaking some ankles,

she decides to use simulated characters to try some of her moves.

You, my loyal geniuses, will provide your assistance. You will build an Inverse Kinematics system to

animate human characters. It should come with a GUI which can load/save BVH files. It should be able to

play an animation clip from the BVH file and allow the user to control the positions of the joints by dragging.

For your hard work, Lady Anklesprainer has kindly agreed to give you rewards for:

1. A GUI to load and play the BVH files in 3D. (5g)

2. The same GUI to write BVH files. This should write an animation clip into a BVH file. (6g)

3. A basic Inverse Kinematics (with pseudo-inverse) system which can handle positional constraints

for any single joint to update a posture (e.g. drag the right wrist and use IK to update the whole

body from the root). (7g)

4. A basic Inverse Kinematics (with pseudo-inverse) system which can handle positional constraints

for all combinations of joints to update a posture (e.g. position both hands and the neck

simultaneously to reach given target positions). (7g)

5. A damped Inverse Kinematics system that can accomplish 3 and 4. (4g)

6. An Inverse Kinematics implementation with control on joints (refer to the slides for ‘Adding

control’ to IK). (4g)

The total reward is 5g + 6g + 7g + 7g + 4g + 4g = 33g.

Hint 1: There are several places in town where you can find assistance. (You can find the specs of BVH

files at https://research.cs.wisc.edu/graphics/Courses/cs-838-1999/Jeff/BVH.html and some sample

code and BVH files in Minerva under Lab Resources)

Hint 2: You can use other BVH software to help you debug and test your system (BVH player

The whole submission needs to be implemented in Visual Studio C++. It should be your own work

except for any third-party libraries. Make sure that you submit a zip file containing the whole Visual

Studio solution. You are free to use third-party libraries for GUI, rendering, triangulation, videocapture

and linear algebra operations, etc. But IT SHOULD BE STANDALONE SO THAT I CAN RUN IT ON

MY WINDOWS COMPUTER.

Some further hints below:

A human body skeleton can be represented as follow:

We already know that each joint includes an offset and a rotation (refer to the BVH file). We can stack all

the rotations (joint angles) into a long vector. If you have 25 joints in the skeleton and each has three

rotational angles, you can stack them into a 75x1 vector. Let’s call this vector θ. Now assuming that you

want to control the 3D position of one joint, e.g the right hand. Its position can be represented by a 3x1

vector Y = [px, py, pz]. Assume that the current position of the right hand is c and the joint angles are θ1.

The target position of the right hand is t and the IK aims to compute new joint angles θ2 so that the right

hand will be at t, by t – c = J (θ2 – θ1). Here both t and c are 3x1 vectors, and θ1 and θ2 are both 75x1

vectors. Naturally, the Jacobian matrix J is a 3x75 matrix. The only unknown here is θ2. t, c and θ1 are

known. We still need to compute J, by computing each entry of it. Let’s take a look at the structure of J:

To compute an entry, we look at one example . It can be computed by:

???

??? ≈

???

??? =

?????

???

Assuming θ1 is your root joint angle indicating its rotation around the x-axis, this entry essentially means

if the root rotates around the x-axis by a small amount say ?θ1 = 0.001, the x coordinate of right hand

will change from p1 to p2 . So the only unknown here is p2. One way to compute it is to change θ1 by ?θ1 ,

then do Forward Kinematics once to compute p2. You should already know how to do Forward

Kinematics (You already used it when you render the BVH file. Look at the code I shared for labs.).

Now we know how to compute the Jacobian J. The rest is the specific IK schemes you want to

implement for task 3-6. One change about controlling more than one joint is that Y is not a 3x1 vector

anymore. If you want to control two joints regarding their 3D positions only, Y will be a 6x1 vector. If you

want to control both the orientation and position of one joint, Y will also be a 6x1 vector.
