Abstract
Embodiments relate to generating image frames including a motion of a character with one or more stretchable body parts by either performing only blending of prestored animation clips or performing both the blending of prestored animation clips and performing inverse kinematics operations where one or more bones in the body parts are stretched or contracted. Choosing whether to perform blending or the inverse kinematics depends on whether predetermined conditions are satisfied or not. Prestored animation clips to be blended may be determined according to the speed of the character when performing the jumping motion. When performing the inverse kinematics, physical properties of the character are simulated to determine the trajectory of the character during the jumping.
