20090204909 | INTERACTIVE 3D ANIMATED CHARACTER DELIVERY OVER A NETWORK - Fully-rendered three-dimensional characters are delivered to a client over a network. A logic file and brief pre-rendered video clips are downloaded from a server. The video clips are downloaded only once and then cached locally for subsequent use. A software application uses the logic file to piece the video clips together in a seamless fashion to display a life-like character. The character is responsive to various trigger events, including user actions, elapsed time, and semi-random occurrences as directed by the logic file. | 08-13-2009 |
