| Abstract: |
|
We describe a system for the animation of a skeleton-controlled articulated object that preserves the fine geomet-ric details of the object skin and conforms to the characteristic shapes of the object specified through a set of ex-amples. The system provides the animator with an intuitive user interface and produces compelling results even when presented with a very small set of examples. In addition it is able to generalize well by extrapolating far be-yond the examples. |

| More examples: |
|
| (top row) Rest shape and 3 examples. (bottom two rows) Deformations of the rest shape in arbitrary poses. |
|
|
| The effect of using different amount of anchors when deforming the original mesh using one example. Using just 2% of the triangles as anchors produces a muscle bulging effect almost indistinguishable from that produced with 100% anchors. |
|
|
| (left to right) Rest shape of flat mesh with waves; one example with bend; deformation of the rest shape based on the example. Note the significant extrapolation of the bend. Only 30 anchors out of 24,000 triangles were used. |
