Abstract
The present disclosure provides embodiments for joint twist generation for animation. The system can utilize a neural network, also referred to as a deep neural network, which utilizes machine learning processes in order to create animation data that are more life-like and realistic. The system can obtain a set of axis vectors for a rig of a virtual character model; obtain a twist model for the rig; input the set of axis vectors to the twist model to obtain a set of twist vectors; and determine animation data based on the set of axis vectors and the set of twist vectors.
