Abstract
In various embodiments, a user can create or generate objects to be modeled, simulated, and/or rendered. The user can apply a mesh to the character's form to create the character's topology. Information, such as character rigging, shader and paint data, hairstyles, or the like can be attached to or otherwise associated with the character's topology. A standard or uniform topology can then be generated that allows information associated with the character to be transfer to other characters that have a similar topological correspondence.
