Learning an Inverse Rig Mapping for Character Animation Daniel Holden Jun Saito Taku Komura University of Edinburgh Marza Animation Planet University of Edinburgh Figure 1: Results of our method: animation is generated in the rig space for several different character rigs including a quadruped character, a deformable mesh character, a biped character, and a facial rig. This animation is generated via some external process, yet because it is c mapped to the rig space, remains editable by animators. Dog rig and animation ( Marza Animation Planet, Inc. 2014).

Abstract 1 Introduction We propose a general, real-time solution to the inversion of the rig Professional animators design character movements through an an- function - the function which maps animation data from a charac- imation rig. This is a system in the 3D tool that drives the mechan- ter’s rig to its skeleton. Animators design character movements in ics of the character, e.g. joints, constraints, and deformers, through the space of an animation rig, and a lack of a general solution for user-defined control parameters. In the production pipeline, ani- mapping motions from the skeleton space to the rig space keeps the mation rigs are designed by specialists called riggers, who are re- animators away from the state-of-the-art character animation meth- sponsible for building a rig that is as productive and expre
