Abstract
A method for a computer system includes determining an animation response subspace within an animation response space for an animation variable responsive to training data for the animation variable, determining calculation key points for navigating within the animation response subspace, calculating animation response values for the calculation key points in response to input data for the animation variable, predicting animation response values for points within the animation response space in response to animation response values for calculation key points, determining a difference between a predicted animation response value and a calculated animation response value for a point in the points and in the calculation key points, and when the difference exceeds a first difference, combining the predicted animation response value and the calculated animation response value to form the animation response value for the point.
