为了保护和传承中国的古楚文化,通过数字化技术对当时的文化空间和文化活动进行了动画模拟与再现.参考文字记载、现存的图像及出土的文物,使用3维扫描、3维建模技术对编钟、青铜工艺品、漆器、人物、服饰及建筑进行3维模型重建,并对已经褪色的图像和文物的表面纹理,进行图像复原.通过动作捕获技术,从楚舞演员身上采集具有楚风格的动作信息,赋予人物模型；然后合并场景,生成舞蹈动画,并合成编钟乐曲；最后,利用VRML技术建立一个交互式的文化展示平台.该方法与传统的文化保护方法相比,有更好的易接收性和娱乐性,有利于增强观众的现场体验感和关注度,加大文化传播的广度与深度.

In order to protect ancient Chu-culture of China,virtual reality technique was used to reconstruct and imitate cultural space and historic activity.According to literal recordation,ancient images and ancient relic,we reconstructed chime bell,bronze utensils,lacquers,characters,finery and architecture by 3d scanner and 3d modeling technique,and we also recovered the fading color painted on culture relic in ancient times.Motion was collected from chu-dancers by motion capture technique.Then all models were incorporated into a scene for rendering animation,and chime bell music was combined with the animation.Finally,an interactive system to exhibit culture was founded by VRML technique.The method to protect and transmit culture heritage is more acceptable and enjoyable than traditional one,which is better to attract audiences' attention,make audiences to obtain experience,increase the extent and depth of culture transmitted.
