Abstract
A method for a computer system includes receiving a surface deformation for an object from a computer system user, wherein an object model comprises animation variables used to determine the surface of the object model, determining at least one pre-defined object pose from pre-defined object poses in response to the surface deformation, wherein the predefined object poses includes a first predefined object pose and comprises animation variable values, wherein the animation variable values are determined from physical motion capture data of surface positions of a physical representation of the object posed in a first pose, posing the object model in a pose in response to at least the animation variable values, and displaying the object model in the pose on a display to the computer system user.
