Tech:Softskin

presentation

The idea of soft skin is to find another/better way to animate the mesh of an avatar. This is related to the bloodbag researches made some time ago.

First of all, it is useful to understand the relation between the mesh rendered on screen and the soft skin objects.

object	displayable mesh	soft skin
3d position	vertex	dot
line	edge	fiber
surface	polygon (quad or triangle)	∅
constraint	∅	anchor

Even if they are bounded together, the relation between displayed mesh and soft skin is not a 1-1 relation.
