Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates systems and methods for automatically adjusting a following 3D asset based on a deformation of a related base 3D asset. The systems and methods may use geomaps to index the relationship between the following 3D asset and base 3D asset. By automatically adjusting a following 3D asset based on the base 3D asset, the following 3D asset may retain full functionality.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering 3D assets associated and/or configured as stacked meshes are disclosed. Stacking meshes can include loading the first mesh and the second mesh from a character definition, identifying a lowest depth mesh from the first mesh and the second mesh, identifying shared polygons from the first mesh and the second mesh, and hiding the shared polygons of the lowest depth mesh.

Abstract: A system for generating a nearest neighboring vertices index. The system includes a memory and one or more processors. The one or more processors receive a base figure asset and an item asset, determine nearest neighbor vertices between the base figure asset and the item asset using at least one of a k-dimensional tree algorithm and a geodesic algorithm, and generate the nearest neighboring vertices index based on the determined nearest neighbor vertices between the base figure asset and the item asset.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and porting a persistent virtual identity. Generating and porting a persistent virtual identity can include processing a 3D asset received from a source application, determining a plurality of standards associated with the 3D asset, comparing the plurality of standards associated with the 3D asset with a plurality of standards enforced by a destination application, configuring the plurality of standards associated with the 3D asset to correspond with the plurality of standards enforced by the destination application based on a determination that the plurality of standards associated with the 3D asset do not conform to the plurality of standards enforced by the destination application, and transferring the 3D asset to the destination application based on a determination that the plurality of standards associated with the 3D asset conform to the plurality of standards enforced by the destination application.

Abstract: A detachable user input controller having the ability to input control signals into a hand-held electronic device. The controller can be configured to operate similarly to a gun having a trigger and gun-type handle. A mounting connector is formed on the top surface of the gun controller to mount the hand-held electronic device such as a portable electronic game such as a PSP brand or PLAYSTATION PORTABLE brand hand-held electronic game. A releasable collar is provided to secure the game to the controller. The controller includes a three-dimensional motion sensor to detect motion of the controller and generate corresponding signal commands to the game. The controller also provides a number of ergonomically placed buttons allowing further user input corresponding to one or more of the buttons available on the game housing.
