Abstract
In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a first mesh portion and a second mesh portion associated with a skeleton of an object. The first mesh portion and the second mesh portion meet at a skeletal joint that is located on the skeleton. It is detected that a combination of the first mesh portion and the second mesh portion satisfies a joint telemetry criterion. A deformation joint is associated with at least one of the first mesh portion or the second mesh portion. The deformation joint is positioned at a distance away from the skeleton. The deformation joint has a flexion that is a function of the first mesh portion, the second mesh portion and the joint telemetry criterion. A display of the object is modified after associating the deformation joint with the at least one of the first mesh portion or the second mesh portion.
