Abstract
Systems and methods for generating an animation rig using scripted reference modules are disclosed. An embodiment includes obtaining a first reference module for generating a first node of a dependency graph, where the first reference module is a precomputed rig module corresponding to the first node, obtaining a second reference module for generating a second node of the dependency graph, where the second reference module is scripting language data executed for generating the second node, generating an association between the first node and the second node in response to an input defining the association, generating the animation rig using the first node and the second node, and providing the generated animation rig to a rig interface.
