Abstract
The shape of an article of footwear is initially represented by first mesh data. Second mesh data having fewer faces is determined by using an occlusion algorithm to determine occluded faces of the first mesh, using a first function to determine values based on the non-occluded faces, and a second function to determine values based on occluded and non-occluded faces. Using these values, the second mesh is spaced a minimum offset distance to enclose the first mesh without intersection. Proxy data representing the shape of a foot is aligned with the inner surface of the second mesh, then deformed to place the shape adjacent to the inner surface. The mesh representing the footwear may be deformed to place portions of the representation of footwear adjacent to the shape of the foot. Locations of keypoints in the shape of the foot are used to add keypoints to the mesh.
