Abstract

One embodiment of the invention disclosed herein provides techniques for transferring attributes from a source animated character to a target character. A character attribute transfer system identifies a first set of markers corresponding to the source animated character. The character attribute transfer system identifies a second set of markers corresponding to the target character. The character attribute transfer system generates a geometric correspondence between the source animated character and the target character based on the first set of markers and the second set of markers independent of differences in geometry between the source animated character and the target character. The character attribute transfer system transfers a first attribute from the source animated character to the target character based on the geometric correspondence.
