Abstract: We propose a new system for constructing character dance animation by considering animator's preferences. First, a user of the proposed system assigns a preferred motion, obtained through a searching algorithm, to arbitrary part in the music. Then the proposed system automatically assigns motions to the other remaining parts of the music by using motions in a database. By this system, we can create a new dance performance for character animation considering a user's preference.
