@conference {2972, title = {HANIME: An H - Anim Compliant Avatar Editor for NVEs}, booktitle = {International Conference on Computer Graphics Theory and Applications, Angers, France}, year = {2010}, month = {May 17 - 21}, pages = { 347 - 352}, abstract = {This paper addresses the problem of a visual H-Anim avatar editor. Although H-Anim is a very promising standard for interchangeable avatars and avatar?s animation, the lack of an effective yet simple to use visual avatar editor could repel users from H-Anim compliant Networked Virtual Environments. Therefore this paper presents an H-Anim compliant editor, called HanimE, for creating avatars for Networked Virtual Environments. This editor is entirely based on a graphical user interface and allows users to customize H- Anim avatars, in a simple yet effective manner. The avatars created by HanimE can be integrated in various H-Anim compliant Networked Virtual Environments regardless of the technology they are built on, since they are X3D files. }, author = {Christos Bouras and Thrasivoulos Tsiatsos and Vasileios Triglianos and Kostas Kartsakalis} }
