Abstract
Techniques relate to fitting a shape of an object when placed in a desired pose. For example, a plurality of training poses can be received, wherein each training pose is associated with a training shape. The training poses can be clustered in pose space, and a bid point can be determined for each cluster. A cluster-fitted shape can then be determined for a pose at the bid point using the training shapes in the cluster. A weight for each cluster-fitted shape can then be determined. The cluster-fitted shapes can then be combined using the determined weights to determine a shape of the object in the desired pose.
