Abstract
With the flourishing development of artificial intelligence and computer animation technologies, there has been an increasing intersection between these two. In the field of computer animation, the use of artificial intelligence significantly reduces the difficulties in design, production, and post-production processes, which has a massive impact on the entire field. The paper attempts to discuss the relationship between artificial intelligence and computer animation. Not only does the paper elaborate on the related applications of artificial intelligence in various subfields of computer animation, but it also analyzes existing problems and future development trends. The research indicates that AI has achieved significant breakthroughs in computer animation, such as auto-generation of animations, real-time character driving, and emotionally responsive animation creation. However, it also faces challenges like handling interactions in complex scenarios, maintaining realism, and animating high-level abstract concepts. Despite these challenges, it is believed that in the future, AI will further propel the development of computer animation, aiding creators in producing animations that are more vibrant, intricate, and personalized.
