Abstract
An animation rig is displayed in a plurality of reference poses. The animation rig has a pose deformation in each pose. A refinement deformation for each reference pose is received. Each refinement deformation is mapped to a respective point in n-dimensional space. A complex is built in the n-dimensional space. The complex includes a mesh of simplices, each corner of each simplex associated with one of the deformations.
