  • Patent number: 9378575
    Abstract: A system and method of animating an object using chained kinematic logic is provided. An animated object may be comprised of several components, each having a corresponding solver. An animator may designate a final desired position of a primary component. The method further includes automatically determining a hierarchical chained relationship between the primary component and one or more secondary associated components. Using chained kinematic logic defined by constraints, the statuses of the solvers for the secondary components may change based on the statuses of the primary component's solver and final desired position. Thus, a pose of the entire object, including the states of all its associated secondary components, may change based on an updated status of the solver of the first component designated by the animator.
