TVCG-2013-10-0283 1 Smooth Rotation Enhanced As-Rigid-As-Possible Mesh Animation Zohar Levi and Craig Gotsman Abstract—In recent years, the As-Rigid-As-Possible (ARAP) shape deformation and shape interpolation techniques gained popularity, and the ARAP energy was successfully used in other applications as well. We improve the ARAP animation technique in two aspects. First, we introduce a new ARAP-type energy, named SR-ARAP, which has a consistent discretization for surfaces (triangle meshes). The quality of our new surface deformation scheme competes with the quality of the volumetric ARAP deformation (for tetrahedral meshes). Second, we propose a new ARAP shape interpolation method that is superior to prior art also based on the ARAP energy. This method is compatible with our new SR-ARAP energy, as well as with the ARAP volume energy.

Another feature of the ARAP energy is its ability to be easily converted to As-Similar-As-Possible energy, which produces, for example, a quasi-conformal To animate a 3D mesh, a modeler typically uses a mapping [8], [9]. Thus, it is not surprising that the ARAP mesh deformation tool to create new poses and a shape energy became popular and has been used successfully interpolation tool to generate the frames between the in other applications such as parametrization [9], image poses.
