A tool is selected that allows the object to be manipulated to exhibit the response characteristic in the computer graphics environment. The tool is associated with a skeleton of the object. A manipulation of the object is displayed within the computer graphics environment in accordance with the response characteristic after associating the tool with the skeleton of the object.
