Abstract

A computer-implemented method for making a skeleton of a modeled human or animal body take a posture, including obtaining a first and a second skeleton each comprising rotational joints connected by bones, each rotational joint of the second skeleton being associated to a respective joint of the first skeleton, determining a relative configuration of the second skeleton, mapping each joint of the first skeleton to a joint of the second skeleton, making the first skeleton take a posture defined by a rotational state for each joint of the first skeleton, and computing transformation matrices for the joints of the second skeleton such that a change is minimized, said second skeleton further including a prismatic joint on at least one of its bones, and determining rotations of the rotational joints and translation of the prismatic joint or joints of the second skeleton such that change is minimized.
