Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for modifying character motion for 3D animated assets (e.g., modifying character motions). In some implementations, an object to be animated is identified, where the object is a part of a three dimensional (3-D) digital model. In some implementations, a motion descriptor is identified that includes path-generating components that generate a preliminary motion path for animation of the object. The motion descriptor is modified to generate a modified motion path, where the motion descriptor is modified by deforming at least one path-generating component of the motion descriptor, and the object is animated based on the modified motion path. In some implementations, the modified motion path is transferred to another 3D animated asset (e.g., the same or a different type of 3D animated asset).
