Abstract
In some implementations, the method includes: obtaining a plurality of animations; determining initial and end motion states for each of the plurality of animations; generating an animation graph including nodes for each of the plurality of animations by connecting, with a directional edge, a first node with an end motion state to a second node with an initial motion state that matches the end motion state of the first node; generating a transitional animation that is not included among the plurality of animations from an initial reference motion state to a target motion state that corresponds to a path that traverses the animation graph from a third node associated with the initial reference motion state to a fourth node associated with the target motion state; and updating the animation graph by removing one or more nodes from the animation graph based at least in part on the transitional animation.
