MARTA: Modern Automatic Renderings from Text to Animation

Animations are recognized as versatile tools for business, art, and even education. Because of this, the need for easy development of animations is increasing. However, with the growing complexity of technology, animation creation has become a much more arduous task. As animation design and development become harder to pursue, the ability for animations to access the knowledge from experts begins to dwindle. This paper presents a way for experts in fields not related to animation to use storytelling as a means of communicating their knowledge in an accessible and entertaining way. MARTA is a system that can convert user-input text to 3D animations using five subsystems. With MARTA, one is able to use a single line of text to fully generate 3D assets, attach a rigging/Mo-Cap animation, and place the assets directly into a fully generated scene.
