1. An apparatus for generating digital characters comprising:

  • a posture storing means for extracting and storing key postures from motion capture data provided from the outside and for calculating and storing connection relationship between the extracted key postures;

    a character generating means for producing virtual characters based on user-input parameters;

    a simulating means for simulating the virtual characters not to collide with each other and generating motion pattern parameters based on the simulation result;

    a key frame generating means for searching matched postures according to the motion pattern parameters, which are transmitted from the simulating means, after then, changing the virtual characters, and generating key frames by locating the changed characters in corresponding positions on the screen; and

    a motion file generating means for producing a motion file by interpolating the key frames.
