    Film Directing for Computer Games and Animation
    (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021) Ronfard, Rémi; Bühler, Katja and Rushmeier, Holly
    Over the last forty years, researchers in computer graphics have proposed a large variety of theoretical models and computer implementations of a virtual film director, capable of creating movies from minimal input such as a screenplay or storyboard. The underlying film directing techniques are also in high demand to assist and automate the generation of movies in computer games and animation. The goal of this survey is to characterize the spectrum of applications that require film directing, to present a historical and up-to-date summary of research in algorithmic film directing, and to identify promising avenues and hot topics for future research.

    Virtual Creature Morphology - A Review
    (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021) Lai, Gorm; Leymarie, Frederic Fol; Latham, William; Arita, Takaya; Suzuki, Reiji; Bühler, Katja and Rushmeier, Holly
    We present a review of methods for procedurally generating the morphology of virtual creatures. We include a range of methods, with the main groups being from ALife over art to video games. Even though at times these groups overlap, for clarity we have kept this distinction. By including the word virtual, we mean that we focus on methods for simulation in silico, and not physical robots. We also include a historical perspective, with information on methods such as cellular automata, L-systems and a focus on earlier pioneers in the field.
