Abstract:
We present Bodyopt, a character skin deformation framework developed for Avatar: The Way of Water. Our approach aims to learn the skin deformations from a given dataset and reproduce them reliably during shot production. It handles runtime skin dynamics and includes utilities to transfer the deformations to new character types.
