Task Membership And Task Masks

View page
US Patent:
7917535, Mar 29, 2011
Filed:
Mar 4, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/042249
Inventors:
Eric Gregory - Larkspur CA, US
Michael Ferris - Sunnyvale CA, US
Robert Jensen - Berkeley CA, US
Oren Jacob - Piedmont CA, US
Timothy S. Milliron - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
Pixar - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707791, 707802
Abstract:
Components are presented to users based on the components' assigned task memberships. The tasks represents the different activities performed by users within a digital production pipeline. Each stage of the digital production pipeline may be associated with a task. Additional user-defined tasks may be defined as needed to further distinguish components. Attributes of components are associated with one or more tasks when the component is authored. Task memberships may be inherited from parent components or overridden. A user interface includes a task selection menu to receive a selection of one or more tasks from the user. The task selection is used to filter components, so that the user interface presents only relevant information to users. Component attribute values and task associations can be expressed using layer data structures. Task restrictions of layers allow layers to only specify values of components that match the task associations of the layer.

Multiple Editor User Interface

View page
US Patent:
8205169, Jun 19, 2012
Filed:
Jun 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/136157
Inventors:
Brendan Donohoe - Berkeley CA, US
Robert Jensen - Berkeley CA, US
Oren Jacob - Piedmont CA, US
Assignee:
Pixar - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/048
US Classification:
715790
Abstract:
An application user interface includes multiple editors, each presenting a data view and controls for operating on data. The application user interface includes a windowed mode and a full-screen mode. The windowed mode displays multiple editors simultaneously, such as in separate windows or panes. The full-screen mode displays a primary editor that substantially covers the application display area. The full-screen mode displays the secondary editors as drawer user interface elements arranged along the edges of the application display area. Secondary editors are displayed and accessed as needed via these drawer user interface elements. The relative arrangement of editors is preserved when switching between windowed mode and full-screen mode. Users can customize the application user interface in either windowed mode or full-screen mode to add, remove, or change primary and secondary editors, with any changes in the application user interface being preserved when switching between windowed mode and full-screen mode.

Snapsheet Animation Visualization

View page
US Patent:
8228335, Jul 24, 2012
Filed:
Nov 26, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/323957
Inventors:
Oren Jacob - Piedmont CA, US
Warren Trezevant - Oakland CA, US
Robert Jensen - Berkeley CA, US
Assignee:
Pixar - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
G06T 13/00
US Classification:
345473, 345419
Abstract:
To assist users in identifying the contributions of specific computer graphics variable or animation variable knots to the timing, rhythm, and expression of complicated animations, an animation software interface includes a snapsheet mode for visualizing and authored poses of objects. The snapsheet mode presents a series of rendered still images corresponding with the authored poses of one or more selected entities. The snapsheet mode may use one or more computer graphics variables, one or more objects, or arbitrary frames or shot time values as selected entities. The snapsheet mode associates each still image with a portion of the shot time of the overall animation corresponding with the selected entity's influence in the animation. Users may modify animation data via the snapsheet mode using each image may act as a proxy for manipulating associated authored values of one or more computer graphics variables.

Pose-Structured Animation Interface

View page
US Patent:
8237719, Aug 7, 2012
Filed:
Feb 3, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/364586
Inventors:
Warren Trezevant - Oakland CA, US
Oren Jacob - Piedmont CA, US
Robert Jensen - Berkeley CA, US
Assignee:
Pixar - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
G06T 13/00
US Classification:
345473
Abstract:
Animation software enables the creation and manipulation of animation in terms of relationships between poses, as opposed to discrete values of computer graphics variable knots. Poses are automatically associated with animation structures that define object pose or poses over a time interval, rather than at a single discrete time. Animation structures may define and manipulate animation data defined over time intervals as a unit, as opposed to a set of unrelated computer graphics variable knots. Animation structures may be used to block out the general form, timing, and rhythm of animations. Optional transition animation structures, pose anticipations, and pose reactions may be automatically or manually defined between adjacent pose hold durations. General parameters of an animation structure may be applied to create or modify the animation data associated with the animation structure. Operations on animation structures can be applied to all of the animation data included in these animation structures.

Graphical User Interface For Performing Deformations

View page
US Patent:
8279239, Oct 2, 2012
Filed:
Mar 2, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/396320
Inventors:
Robert Jensen - Berkeley CA, US
Oren Jacob - Piedmont CA, US
Eric Gregory - Larkspur CA, US
Assignee:
Pixar Animation Studio - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
G06T 11/80
G06T 19/00
US Classification:
345647
Abstract:
A method allowing for quick manipulation of weight values associated with points on a polygonal mesh that is to be deformed. A point on the polygonal mesh may be selected by the user. Then, a solution space of possible positions for the selected point may be calculated by solving a deformation model for a range of weight values. A graphical representation of the solution space may be provided, such as a locus of possible positions for the selected point, where each point on the locus corresponds to a particular weight value. Manipulation of these weight values, and hence, the deformation of the polygonal mesh, may be achieved simply by selecting a position on the locus. The mesh may be updated to reflect the weight corresponding to the selected position.

Multiple Time Scales In Computer Graphics

View page
US Patent:
8363055, Jan 29, 2013
Filed:
Nov 18, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/272997
Inventors:
Eric Gregory - Larkspur CA, US
Michael Ferris - Sunnyvale CA, US
Robert Jensen - Berkeley CA, US
Oren Jacob - Piedmont CA, US
Timothy S. Milliron - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
Pixar - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
G06T 11/00
US Classification:
345473, 345474
Abstract:
Multiple time scales enable animations over multiple shots. Time-dependent data is specified with reference to time references. Data expressed in different time references may be combined to form animations, shots, and sequences of shots. Time transformations specifying mappings between time references are used to combine data expressed in different time references. Data can be viewed in arbitrary time references. Editing data specifying a sequence of shots may be used as a time reference for viewing data expressed in other time references. Data expressed in one time reference may be rearranged according to another time reference to indicate time reference relationships. Data authored in one time reference may be viewed and modified in another time reference. Modifications are converted from the viewing time reference to the data's original time reference for updating data. Time-dependent data may be expressed in layer data structures.

Unfolding Sparse Data Sets

View page
US Patent:
8566359, Oct 22, 2013
Filed:
Dec 15, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/335295
Inventors:
Brendan Donohoe - Berkeley CA, US
Murat N. Konar - Emeryville CA, US
Robert Jensen - Berkeley CA, US
Oren Jacob - Piedmont CA, US
Assignee:
Pixar - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
G06F 3/00
US Classification:
707793, 715723
Abstract:
Empty elements or positions in an arrangement of data are hidden or revealed to present an overview of the relationships between empty and non-empty elements. Empty elements may be revealed at fractional increments of the interval between the two items. Additional empty elements may be revealed at smaller fractional increments of the intervals. Empty elements may be revealed at fixed increments within the interval between two items, with additional empty elements revealed at further multiples of this increment. Hierarchical arrangements of data may be unfolded or expanded to reveal additional empty or non-empty elements at further hierarchy levels. Similarly, nodes of arbitrary graphs that are empty, associated with a specified hierarchy level, and/or satisfy any other criteria may be automatically hidden and grouped with visible items. Hidden data may be revealed based on hierarchy level or a relative position with respect to one, two, or more visible items.
