AniMesh is a system for animation prototyping, retargeting, and editing. We propose skeleton abstraction and motion retargeting algorithms for finding correspondences and transferring motions between skeletons, or portions of skeletons, with varied topology. Model parts and/or motion can be cut, copied, and pasted, while always retaining plausible, composite animations.
