Abstract
A computer graphics production control system is configured to generate scenes (including three-dimensional, deformable characters ('3DD characters')) that can be manipulated to produce still images and/or animated videos. Such control systems may utilize 3DD characters that are controlled by a series of control points that are positioned and/or moved under the control of the artist. Body characteristics of 3DD characters are modeled as a series of inter-related points (e.g., skin triangles) that can be manipulated under the control of the model and the reference points (e.g., bones) of the body.
