Over the course of this week, I went over Nigel’s feedback on the literature review I wrote last semester. Starting with the title of my thesis, the suggestions were extremely helpful. The initial focus was primarily on researching rendering styles and techniques, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of offline and real-time rendering. However, this title was too broad and resulted in a rather dull research topic because the benefits and drawbacks of each are well understood, making it difficult to write an outstanding paper on this subject. Taking the feedback into consideration, I decided to change the focus of my paper by changing the title. I scoured Google Scholar for animation-related articles and eventually changed my title to one about the performance of animated characters. The following are the specifics of my literature search and the final confirmation of my new title.
