Torso Editor Interface

Torso Editor Interface:

• create new torso keyFrame
• visualize the animation of torso movement predefined in TorsoGesture.xml

To visualize a predefined torso movement:

• Open Greta
• Open a configuration -> File->Open->Greta configurations : Basic configuration or others
• Click on Character Manager
• Click on Ajouter->Tools->Torso Editor
• Connect Torso Editor with Behavior Realizer and MPEG4 Animatable
• Click Reload on the Torso Editor Interface

To visualize a Torso Movement :

• Select from the scroll menu one predefined Torso movement
• Click on sendTorso

To create new Torso movement:

• Change vertebras position: vt2,vt5,vt12,vl5 - It creates a KeyFrame
• The ‘send’ button displays this KeyFrame. It does not create an animation.
• To visualize the animation, this KeyFrame has to be stored in the TorsoGesture.xml as a torso movement
• Since there is no save button, copy the whiteboard content (values of vt2..vl5) into the file TorsoGesture.xml
• Follow the template of the other Torso Movement, change id and lexeme (those should be unique names)
• To visualize the animation (and no longer only the KeyFrame), you need to quit Greta and start it again
• If you select the torso movement from the scroll menu and select ‘sendTorso’ you can visualize the animation
• It is possible to create more complex torso animation by adding keyframes for: strokeStart and strokeEnd
