Abstract

Rendering a three-dimensional model comprised of three-dimensional data defining a bone and a polygon includes determining a location of a vertex of the polygon relative to the bone, transforming the vertex based on the location to produce a transformed vertex, and rendering the three-dimensional model using the transformed vertex. Determining the location of the vertex includes obtaining a plane that intersects the bone and determining a side of the plane on which the vertex is located.
