碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 85 === Due to the continuous progress of software and hardware, the age of making 3Dcomputer animation on PC is coming. Microsoft announces the DirectX SDK, whichprovides a platform that integrates multimedia and 3D computer animation. Thiscertainly will bring a great impact on future development. We try to use the API provided by Microsoft DirectX SDK to implement a 3Dcomputer animation development environment. The main ideas are: 1. Use popular Microsoft Windows 95 as our platform, thus user will spend lessmoney in buying new hardware or changing equipment.2. We hope to design a development environment with open architecture, so theenvironment can be expanded and more and more components can be added to thesystem.3. We use an unified interface, property sheet, to set and control thecomponent.4. By using the component, we can generate and control complicated animationsimply by setting a few parameters of the component.5. By using the Direct3D Retained Mode API, the animation user produced can beplayed in real-time.
