Abstract

An animation analyzer is configured to receive an animation sequence and to identify a subsample of the frames that are to be rendered. A rendering engine is configured to render the subsample of the frames. The rendering engine is further configured to identify the frames that have not been rendered and to generate in-betweens for the frames that have not been rendered. The rendering engine is further configured to assemble the subsample of frames and the in-betweens into a video sequence depicting the animation sequence.
