Flexible Automatic Motion Blending with Registration Curves
Many motion editing algorithms are forms of a general operation called motion blending. We introduce registration curves, which allow a wider class of motions to be blended without manual input.
Motion Editing with Paths and Tiles
Unpublished work on animation that extends Motion Paths.
This video shows off work we did in 2003, but was never published. The student graduated before we were able to complete the paper.

Direct Manipulation of Interactive Character Skins
A system for authoring linear blend skins. Provides a more standard painting interface plus our own direct manipulation method for setting vertex weights.
Snap Together Motion: Assembling Run-Time Animation
Video accompaniment to our I3D 2003 paper.
We present an approach to character motion called Snap-Together Motion that addresses the unique demands of virtual environments. Snap-Together Motion (STM) preprocesses a corpus of motion capture examples into a set of short clips that can be concatenated to make continuous streams of motion.

Virtual Videography (2003 early version)
This is an early video of the Virtual Videography system.
The main idea behind Virtual Videography is to automatically edit video of some event that would be nice to record, but too costly or intrusive to place a camera crew, such as a classroom lecture. (Note: Newer video at Virtual Videography).

Footskate Cleanup for Motion Capture Editing
Many motion capture editing operations result in the feet of the character moving when they ought to remain planted. We present a simple, efficient algorithm for removing this footskate.
Video from our 2002 paper “Footskate cleanup for motion capture editing”. This work was published at the Symposium on Computer Animation.
Many motion capture editing operations result in the feet of the character moving when they ought to remain planted. We present a simple, efficient algorithm for removing this footskate.

Motion Graphs
We present a method for controlling motion capture data without sacrificing motion quality. Given a database of motion, we automatically construct seamless transitions to form a directed graph we call a motion graph. A user can then extract motions that meet a set of constraints. Our framework is applied to the particular problem of directing locomotion down arbitrary paths.
HijackGL: Reconstructing from Streams for Stylized Rendering
HijackGL is a prototype system that allows us to non-invasively intercept graphics applications and change their behavior on the fly
