Claim 8:
9. A method according to claim 1 wherein:
each random pose is parameterized at least in part by a number of bones (num_bones) and, for each bone, a set of bone matrix components, the num-bones sets of bone matrix components together characterizing the joint angles and/or bone positions of the random pose; and
parsing the warped rest poses into the plurality of regions comprises:
determining a correlation between each coordinate of each vertex of each warped rest pose and each bone matrix component over the plurality of warped rest poses;
clustering the vertices into n clusters based at least in part on the determined correlations; and
dilating the n clusters to determine n warped rest regions, one warped rest region corresponding to each cluster, wherein the regional plurality of vertices for each warped rest region comprises the vertices in its corresponding cluster and one or more vertices from neighboring clusters; and
assigning per-region weights to vertices that belong to more than one warped rest region.
