Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive virtual model information associated with a virtual deformable geometric model. The virtual model information comprises a complex rig comprising a plurality of transforms and a first plurality of vertices defined by a default model, and a simplified rig comprising a second plurality of transforms and a second plurality of vertices. The second plurality of vertices correspond to the first plurality of vertices defined by the default model. The simplified rig and the complex rig are deformed based on an animation to be applied to the virtual deformable geometric model. A set of offset data is calculated. The set of offset data comprises, for each vertex in the first plurality of vertices, an offset between the vertex and a corresponding vertex in the second plurality of vertices.
