Abstract
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for creating posed models. In various embodiments, deformations resulting from posing a model can be represented in a set of training poses. The sets of training poses for the model and a desired target pose (e.g., a simulated or sculpted pose) can be used to create a final pose for the model. Arbitrary deformer activation weights can be determined by projecting a target pose onto the set of training poses. The deformer activation weights can be applied to one or more deformers to approximate the desired pose.
