Abstract
Some implementations relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for inferring a skeletal structure to create a practical 3D asset. A user may create an avatar using different parts from different parent models. Upon creation, a data model for the avatar is examined to determine joint placement and infer an overall skeletal structure. Thereafter, different skinning techniques may be used to deform the avatar skin during animations based on the joint placement and movement.
