Abstract

This chapter reviews the techniques that are required for efficiently and accurately animate virtual human models. The techniques described here enable one to tailor the animation to specific subjects, including their shape, and weight characteristics. These animations can then be used to produce virtual catwalks, which in turn can be used as a basis for a virtual try on application.

    There could be more than one function to minimize, however this was left aside here for the sake of simplicity.
