Abstract :
The H-ANIM TOOLBOX is a Java applet containing a collection of easy-to-use tools to create 3D actors for Web applications. The generated actors have a scenegraph-based VRML/X3D structure with a skeleton-like joint-segment hierarchy complying with the H-Anim standard. A variety of actors is supported: from simple segmented models with predefined animations via organic bodies with seamless deformations up to personalized avatars with specific head geometry and face texture
