Abstract

The research of realism in computer animation has been largely developped in the last years, but the represention of natural phenomena is often very complicated. In fact the necessity of an automatic control of animation has been imposed: from a description of actors (graphical representations and rules), of environment and of type of animation, the system must create appropriate animation.
