Abstract:
Skin Slide, an artist friendly tool developed at DreamWorks Animation, slides and jiggles skin along the original animated surface solely based on input animated skin and artist-controlled parameters. This secondary motion effect brings across the weight of the characters on screen without changing silhouette and makes the motion more believable.
