“…More details can be found in, among others, [1,2] and references therein. Subsequently, more attention was devoted to the integration of motion and behavior of the virtual agents [4,5,7,12,16,17,18,21] with applications to real-time virtual environments [3,8,10,11]. Most recent developments in the field, as those of Prof. Thalmann and collaborators, include the possibility to give the virtual actors some kind of autonomy without losing control [6,14,19].…”

This paper focuses on modeling the behavior of virtual agents living in a virtual 3D world. Our aim is to apply the most typical human behavior features to our virtual agents so that they behave as realistic as possible. To this end, a new architecture for the behavioral engine that incorporates a number of these typical characteristics of human behavior is introduced. This new proposal allows the virtual agents to interact among them and with the environment in a quite realistic way. The main features of this new architecture, such as perception, knowledge management, motion control and action selection (using internal states, world information, goals, and others) are carefully analyzed in the paper. Finally, some relevant functions (those describing sensations such as tiredness, agent's resistance and recovery capacities, happiness and anxiety) and parameters (those determining the vision range or sociability) are also described in the paper.

“…This field, also known as Artificial Life, has received increasing attention during the last few years [1,2,3,4,5,6,12,14]. Most of this interest has been motivated by its application to the entertainment industry, from virtual and augmented reality in digital movies to video games.…”

Abstract. This paper is the first in a series of two papers (both included in this volume) describing a new framework for simulating the human behavior for intelligent virtual agents. This first paper focuses on the framework architecture and implementation issues. Firstly, we describe some requirements for such a framework to simulate realistically the human behavior. Then, the framework architecture is discussed. Finally, some strategies concerning the implementation of our framework on single and distributed CPU environments are presented.

This paper describes the ALVW system, a high-level interface for producing smart behavior-based 3D Computer Animation. The system allows the design and simulation of virtual worlds, environments and their inhabitants. Once the simulation of the virtual ecosystem is run, the results are transferred to a commercial 3D program, where a realistic animation can be produced based on the transferred data. The concatenation of all these processes allows us to produce a realistic 3D Computer Animation showing what happens in the artificial ecosystem, using the best of both worlds: behavior-modeling techniques plus all the capabilities of existing 3D software. As a pilot project, we have developed Kukasim, a simulator that models a cockroach living in a kitchen, and produced a four-minute 3D animation based on the simulation data obtained from it.The aim of the work presented in this paper is to contribute to the development of smart computer interfaces, mainly for 3D animation, but open enough to be useful in an ample range of different applications.
