'A METHOD FOR CREATING A POSED CHARACTER MODEL'

摘要

A method for animating soft body characters(Fig.9) has a preparation (305) followed by an animation phase (310). In the preparation phase, the skin deformation of the character model is determined for a set of basis poses. The skin deformation from posing is compactly represented in terms of the set of basis poses. In the animation phase, the set of basis poses and the skin mode responses to create a final posed character. A desired character pose is projected onto the basis set todetermine a set of basis weights. the basis weight are applied to the set of skin responses to creat a skin pose response, and the skin pose responses is projected onto the basis set to creat the posed character model.
