ABSTRACT
In Big Hero 6, tens of millions of tiny robots called Microbots connect together via electromagnetism to create dynamic animated structures. The Microbots rearrange by passing each other over bundles of themselves. In order to achieve a high level of precise control for elaborate art direction, we developed specific procedural animation algorithms.

Interactive script based dynamics in Big Hero 6
SIGGRAPH '15: ACM SIGGRAPH 2015 TalksIn production environments, dynamic effects have been commonly done by rigid body simulations or particle simulations. In Big Hero 6, we set up a directable and very efficient rig for dynamic effects. We used motion equations in VEX script to calculate ...
Crowd character complexity on Big Hero 6
SIGGRAPH '15: ACM SIGGRAPH 2015 TalksOn Disney's Big Hero 6, we needed to create the city of San Fransokyo with unparalleled levels of visual complexity. The cityscape has more buildings and more geometry than any prior Disney film. Inhabiting this city are hundreds of unique characters, ...
Intelligent toolkit for procedural animation of human behaviors
Future Play '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Conference on Future Play on @ GDC CanadaThe use of optical motion capture systems to produce high quality humanoid motion sequences has recently become increasingly popular in many areas such as high-end gaming, cinema movie and animation production, and for educational purposes. Motion ...
