Description
Active body cells require lots of oxygen for energy production in aerobic respiration as we learnt in Lecture IV. A major by product of aerobic respiration is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid and hence disturbs acid base balance in the body. Accumulation of carbon dioxide is therefore toxic to the cells as it may cause acidosis. Living cells have mechanisms of intake of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide. The two gases are known as respiratory gases. In small organisms such as protozoans the body surface provides an adequate surface area for the exchange of respiratory gases by diffusion. In mammals and other higher animals there are specialized systems for exchange of respiratory gases.

Lesson 2 Computer Animation - Character Animation

• Character Animation

Character animation is a specialized area of the animation process, which involves bringing animated characters to life. The role of a Character Animator
is analogous to that of a film or stage actor, and character animators are often
said to be "actors with a pencil" (or a mouse). Character animators breathe
life in their characters, creating the illusion of thought, emotion and personality. Character animation is often distinguished from creature animation, which
involves bringing photo-realistic animals and creatures to life.

Lesson 3 Computer Animation - Skeletal Animation
Trending!
Skeletal animation is a technique in computer animation in which a character
is represented in two parts: a surface representation used to draw the character
(called skin or mesh) and a hierarchical set of interconnected bones (called
the skeleton or rig) used to animate (pose and keyframe) the mesh. While
this technique is often used to animate humans or more generally for organic
modeling, it only serves to make the animation process more intuitive and the
same technique can be used to control the deformation of any object — a door,
a spoon, a building, or a galaxy.
This technique is used in virtually all animation systems where simplified
user interfaces allows animators to control often complex algorithms and a huge
amount of geometry; most notably through inverse kinematics and other "goaloriented" techniques. In principle, however, the intention of the technique is never to imitate real anatomy or physical processes, but only to control the deformation of the mesh data.
