Publisher Summary This chapter discusses animation and modeling of the Xian terra-cotta soldiers. Excavation of the grave complex of the Ch’in emperor Shi Huang Ti in Xian in the 1970s has revealed a vast field of life-size terra-cotta statues depicting soldiers, servants, and horses, estimated to total 6000 pieces. A sense of great realism is conveyed in the figures with remarkable simplicity. The figures were modeled after the emperor's real army, and each face is different. They were supposed to guard the crypt and protect their ruler on his afterlife journey. The figures were carefully fashioned to resemble one of his real infantries, with well-outfitted officers, charioteers and archers, as well as youthful foot soldiers. This chapter discusses about the Xian project that is intended to recreate and restore life to this army using computer-generated techniques. The goal of the Xian project is first to make a pilot to be able to show and to test the feasibility of a 90 min film. For the present time, the pilot includes the modeling and the animation of the soldiers.
