Abstract
A system includes a computing device that includes a memory for storing one or more animations (e.g., a first and a second animation), and a model compressor. The model compressor quantifies similarities between the first animation and the second animation, and, groups the first and second animation based upon the quantified similarities. The model compressor is also configured to compress the first animation and the second animation to produce a first model that represents the content of the first animation and the second animation.
