Kinematics: Baking

• Baking: translating all kinematics to FK

  • Mocap can be thought of as “bakedâ€? data
  • The universal standard

• Pro:

  • Remove complex setup or slow rig components
  • Combine mechanically precise behavior with FK expressiveness
  • Simplest interface to animation blending / compositing

• Con:

  • Brittle: a one way process
  • Creates dense data
