Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for posing three-dimensional (3D) objects in extended reality (XR) environments using multiple hands. In some embodiments, an animation application selects a posing mode based on user interactions and adjusts joints and/or bones associated with a 3D object based on the posing mode and the user interactions. The posing mode can be a symmetric bimanual posing mode in which two joints are selected and adjusted simultaneously, an asymmetric bimanual posing mode a reference joint is selected with one hand to serve as a pivot while a second joint is adjusted by another hand, a virtual hand posing mode in which virtual hands are created to fix joints in place, or a bone manipulation mode in which bones can be selected and adjusted, with adjustments to the bones influencing joints that are connected to the bones.
