Introduction

Representing Humanoid Is an Increasing Need on the Growing 3D Internet!

What We Need …1. The Creation of Interchangeable Humanoids2. Tools For Creating and Animating

Humanoids

H-Anim : A Standard Way Representing Humanoids Based on VRML/X3D

VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language)

VRML 1.0 : 1995, Silicon Graphics Inc.• Geometries, Materials, Viewpoints…

VRML 2.0 : 1997, Web3D Consortium• Animation, Prototyping, Scripting…

VRML97 : 1997• NURBS, EAI (External Authoring Interface)

…• An ISO Standard

Conclusion

H-Anim 2.0 • Persevere the Compatibilities to Old

VRML Virtual Humanoid/Environment

• Extending the Capabilities of Humanoid Representation

Other Compatibility Issue• The Convention of Joint Rotation
