My thesis describes a tool which creates speed-lines automatically in 3D computer
animations. Speed-lines are usually used in comic books to express fast motions
in a still image. They are also used in 2D animations. Although animations don't
need speed-lines for motions, they are interesting graphic elements and give more
sense of speed to the audience. However, speed-lines are not used in the 3D computer
animation, so I have implemented the graphic element into the 3D computer
animation. The combination of the 2D-looking speed-lines and the 3D computer animations
makes a unique look that some animators might want. In addition, making
speed-lines based on motions of moving objects or cameras, this tool can make 3D
speed-lines which are very difficult to draw by hand.
