Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for generating variations of an object. In various implementations, a device includes a display, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the display and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a request to populate an environment with variations of an object characterized by at least one visual property. In some implementations, the method includes generating the variations of the object by assigning corresponding values for the at least one visual property based on one or more distribution criterion. In some implementations, the method includes displaying the variations of the object in the setting in order to satisfy a presentation criterion.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of manipulating animation timing is provided by a device including one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, using a display, a timeline for an animation of an object moving along a path, wherein the timeline includes a plurality of ticks, wherein each of the plurality of ticks is associated with a respective distance along the timeline and a respective distance along the path, wherein the respective distance along the timeline is proportional to an amount of time for the object to move the respective distance along the path. The method includes receiving, using one or more input devices, an input within the timeline. The method includes, in response to receiving the input within the timeline, changing the respective distances along the timeline of two or more of the plurality of ticks.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a first mesh portion and a second mesh portion associated with a skeleton of an object. The first mesh portion and the second mesh portion meet at a skeletal joint that is located on the skeleton. It is detected that a combination of the first mesh portion and the second mesh portion satisfies a joint telemetry criterion. A deformation joint is associated with at least one of the first mesh portion or the second mesh portion. The deformation joint is positioned at a distance away from the skeleton. The deformation joint has a flexion that is a function of the first mesh portion, the second mesh portion and the joint telemetry criterion. A display of the object is modified after associating the deformation joint with the at least one of the first mesh portion or the second mesh portion.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for using a deformation model of a first object that is within a degree of similarity to a second object instead of creating a deformation model for the second object. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining an input to instantiate a first object in a graphical environment. The first object is characterized by a first set of response parameter values. A second object is identified. The second object is characterized by a second set of response parameter values that are within a threshold range of the first set of response parameter values. A deformation model of the second object is obtained. The deformation model defines a change in a visual property of the second object based on a condition. A change in a visual property of the first object is displayed based on the deformation model of the second object.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for selectively applying a tool and/or a rig to a skeleton of an object based on an upcoming motion. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining, from a memory location, a response characteristic to be exhibited by an object while displaying the object in a computer graphics environment. A tool is selected that allows the object to be manipulated to exhibit the response characteristic in the computer graphics environment. The tool is associated with a skeleton of the object. A manipulation of the object is displayed within the computer graphics environment in accordance with the response characteristic after associating the tool with the skeleton of the object.
