A method, system and computer-program product for real-time virtual 3D reconstruction of a live scene in an animation system. The method comprises receiving 3D positional tracking data for a detected live scene by the processor, determining an event by analyzing the 3D positional tracking data by the processor, comprising steps of determining event characteristics from the 3D positional tracking data, receiving pre-defined event characteristics, determining an event probability by comparing the event characteristics to the pre-defined event characteristics, and selecting an event assigned to the event probability, determining a 3D animation data set from a plurality of 3D animation data sets assigned to the selected event and stored in the data base by the processor, and providing the 3D animation data set to the output device,
