Abstract
Systems and methods for using three-dimensional scans of a physical subject to determine positions and/or orientations of skeletal joints in the rigging for a virtual character. At least one articulation segment of a polygon mesh for the virtual character may be determined. The articulation segment may include a subset of vertices in the polygon mesh. An indicator of the position or orientation of the articulation segment of the polygon mesh may be determined. Based on the indicator of the position or orientation of the articulation segment, the position or orientation of at least one joint for deforming the polygon mesh may be determined.
