A method for visualization of dynamic three-dimensional (3D) virtual objects comprises storing a plurality of static 3D key-models respectively describing a dynamic 3D object in at least one of a number of poses and shapes; and rendering the dynamic 3D object by interpolation of the 3D key-models by performing the interpolation in a vertex shader program of a programmable graphics processing unit (GPU).
