INFORMATION TO USERS
This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI
films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some
thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be
from any type of computer printer.
The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the
copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality
illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins,
and improper alignment can adversely afreet reproduction.
In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete
manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if
unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate
the deletion.
Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by
sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and
continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each
original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced
form at the back of the book.
Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced
xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6” x 9” black and white
photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations
appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to
order.

Acknowledgements
I would like to thank my adviser Rick Parent for his guidance and insight throughout this
research, for gently nudging me on when I needed it, and, especially, for knowing how to
say “It’s looking good!” with perfect inflection so that I knew if it really was. I would also
like to thank the other members of my dissertation committee, Wayne Carlson and Kikuo
Fujimura, for their encouragement and support. Wayne’s advice throughout my stay at
OSU and during my association with ACCAD is greatly appreciated.
I vTish to express sincere appreciation to the Chamber of Mines of South Africa for
awarding me the Nico Diedericks Research Scholarship in support of the flrst year of my
studies at OSU. Financial support by the now defunct Centre for Advanced Computing
and Decision Support, and later by the Division of Microelectronics and Communications
Technology of the Council for Scientiflc emd Industrial Research is also appreciated.
I would like to thank my friends and colleagues at ACCAD and CIS for inspiring me
through their own work, and for helping to create a rich and rewarding environment to
do computer graphics and animation research. At the risk of leaving someone out, let me
mention by name Barb, Beth, Bob, Bren, Cemil, Chuck, Chitra, Dave, Don, Bd, Erika,
Fhp, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kikuo, Jim, John, Lawson, Matt, Midori, Meg, Moon, Nathan,
Nathania, Neal, Pete, Pete, Phil, Rick, Rina, Roni, Saty, Scott, Scott, Sara, Steve, Steve,
Terry, Tonya, Torsten, Traci, Viki, and Wayne. And thanks, Steve, for enduring my frequent
visits to your office—I will miss them dearly.
I also wish to thank my family for their encouragement, support and forbearance. To my
parents, Nico and Hettie, thank you for providing me with a foundation in life unmatched
by any other. To our extended family in South Africa, thanks for your love and patience. To
pastor Rich Hamstra and the other members of OCRC, thank you for being our surrogate
family during our stay in the USA. Finally, I thank my sons, Nicolas and Conrad, who are
hving proof that human flgure modeling is best accomplished through reproduction, my
wife and partner in life, Ronél, for making it so pleasurable, and the Lord God for making
it all possible.
