Claim 15:
16. A computer graphics production control method comprising:
receiving a computer model of a deformable character and modeling (1) a bone structure having plural bones and (2) skin, surrounding the bone structure, having plural skin regions such that skin regions of the plural skin regions are moved in relation to movements of respective bones of the plural bones;
providing a user interface for receiving input from a user for controlling the deformable character using a set of control points for controlling the plural bones by providing the user interface with a percentage-based preset pose interface by:
providing visual representation of a set of percentage-based preset poses that can be selected by the user to be applied to a first set of bones of the plural bones of the deformable character; and
providing a percentage interface for selecting a percentage for controlling positions of the first set of bones of the plural bones of the deformable character;

receiving a selection of a percentage-based preset pose of the set of percentage-based preset poses,
receiving from the percentage interface the selected percentage for controlling positions of the first set of bones of the plural bones of the deformable character,
applying to the first set of bones of the plural bones the selected percentage-based preset pose of the set of percentage-based preset poses based on the selected percentage for controlling positions of the first set of bones of the plural bones of the deformable character, and
displaying the deformable character in the computer graphics environment in response to the applying to the first set of bones the selected percentage-based preset pose of the set of percentage-based preset poses based on the selected percentage for controlling positions of the first set of bones of the plural bones of the deformable character.
