NWIP's scope and responsibility
Please add responsible persons for each item. We recommend that the persons of responsibility work on draft and/or examples for conformance.
- 1) Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion from captured motion data → Myeong and Joe
- 2) Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion using 3D scanner data → Myeong and William
- 3) Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion using a general motion definition such as keyframe, interpolation, kinematics, and dynamics for human figures → Myeong and Joe
- 4) Definition of motion parameters for transferring or exchanging motion between different human character models → Myeong and Dick
- 5) Definition of a motion data interface for including motion data → Myeong and Dick
- 6) Definition of a motion viewer’s functionality → Myeong and Joe
- 7) Definition of interoperable human behavior prototypes → Don and William
- 8) Definition of a 3D skinning interface → Joe
- 9) Definition of a recording interface for human motion such as gait → Don and William

Standards Development: Specifications
Two primary specifications govern this work: The H-Anim and the X3D International Standards. The H-Anim standard describes functional information in full detail, while the X3D specification simply references this work and maps constructs into X3D nomenclature.
TODO: clarify versions, and then only refer to the official version as we confirm current capabilities and rejuvenate future work.
H-Anim specification, current
- Official version: ISO/IEC 19774:2006 (listed on Web3D Specifications - All Documents)
H-Anim specification, incomplete draft change
- H-Anim Working Draft Amendment WDAM1
- http://igraphics.com/Standards/ISO_IEC_19774_WAM1_2009_01_12/index.html
- This draft amendment proposed new capabilities for H-Anim and is a reasonably complete document.
- It was never approved by Web3D Consortium nor submitted to ISO.
- We are interested in learning whether any implementations exist that demonstrate these proposed changes.
- It stalled when working group activity ceased circa January 2009.
- Added items in this draft "change document" can be reconsidered by the reactivated working group, but currently have no official standing.
H-Anim specification, historical efforts
Note: the following versions have no official standing and are no longer active.
- Intermediate draft version, ISO/IEC 19774:2005
- H-Anim 200x specification (ISO_IEC_FCD_19774)
- H-Anim working group version 1.1, unofficial
- H-Anim working group version 1.0, unofficial
X3D v3.3 specification, H-Anim Component
- version 3.3 Draft International Standard (DIS)
TODO: further development efforts
- Conformance
- Examples
H-Anim WG Charter
- March 2012: H-Anim Working Group Draft Charter materials by Web3D Korean Chapter
WG Members
- William Glascoe
- Joe D. Williams
- Keith Victor

Joe and Don are working each Monday night [1700-1900 pacific, Web3D teleconference line) on
- Confirming first the status of all current work relative to the approved H-Anim Specification
- X3D Basic Examples for H-Anim
- X3D tooltips, X3D DOCTYPE Documentation and X3D Schema Documentation for the H-Anim nodes
- X3D Player Support for H-Anim

This wiki page is the site for the recently renewed Humanoid Animation (H-Anim) Working Group.
Humanoid Animation (H-Anim) WG Meeting
- H-Anim WG Meeting at Web3D Conference & SIGGRAPH 2012, Los Angeles, USA, August 3, 2012
- Teleconferences: 1st Wednesday at 9:00am PDT every month
- Our August 2012 meeting will be replaced by the face-to-face H-Anim WG meeting (Hilton Checkers Hotel, 03 August at 16:00).
March 2012: H-Anim Working Group Draft Charter materials by Web3D Korean Chapter

There has been previous work by the H-Anim working group during 2008-2009 that was not completed. Here are some additional links on the members-only wiki:
- Web3D members-only H-Anim wiki
- Accommodating Diverse Models (also linked there for members: Proposed amendment to H-Anim Specification)
- Proposed amendment to H-Anim Specification
- TODO list progress and problems
- TODO determine visibility permissions for items on the members-only sites (this is a decision by the working group, assuming that no proprietary information is included)
- TODO find prior working group charter
Much additional work has been proposed by the Korea Chapter.
- Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion from captured motion data
- Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion using a general motion definition such as keyframe, interpolation, kinematics and dynamics for human figures.
- Definition of motion parameters for transferring or exchanging motion between different human character models
- Definition of motion data interface for including motion data
- Definition of behavior modeling data
- Definition of motion viewer’s functionality
- Video human functionality and gestures will be considered in AR/MR working group efforts
We agreed on the 1 Feb 2012 teleconference that it is a good idea to document work on these many good ideas using this H-Anim public wiki. Further comment is welcome about this.
The main thing that is needed next is to get the H-Anim Working Group restarted and rejuvenated.
- H-Anim WG Charter
- TODO: we need 1-2 members who are willing to volunteer to serve as working group co-chairs.
- Working Draft for the H-Anim motion definition (in preparation) H-Anim Motion Definition
