  • Publication number: 20260087761
    Abstract: A proxy mesh is generated according to a fitting plane of a plurality of visual vertices in a visual mesh of an object worn by a character model. The proxy mesh includes a plurality of proxy vertices, each of the plurality of visual vertices associated with one or more proxy vertices in the plurality of proxy vertices. For at least a first visual vertex in the plurality of visual vertices, first one or more vertex weights are determined respectively for first one or more proxy vertices in the plurality of proxy vertices. The first one or more vertex weights are determined based on distances of the first visual vertex to the first one or more proxy vertices. A position of the first visual vertex is adjusted based on the first one or more vertex weights and positions of the first one or more proxy vertices.

  • Patent number: 12530858
    Abstract: A proxy mesh that includes a plurality of proxy vertices is generated by projecting a visual mesh that includes a plurality of visual vertices onto a fitting plane. The visual mesh is of a character model. Each of the plurality of proxy vertices indicates a respective bone of the character model. A vertex weight associated with each of the plurality of proxy vertices of the proxy mesh is determined. Each of the vertex weights indicates how much the respective proxy vertex impacts a position of a visual vertex of the plurality of visual vertices that is adjacent to the respective proxy vertex. A position of each of the plurality of visual vertices is adjusted based on the determined vertex weights of a subset of the plurality of proxy vertices that are adjacent to the respective visual vertex.
