Claim 6:
7. A system for generating an approximation of a deformation of a facial model, the system comprising one or more processors configured to:
receive a first plurality of vertices;
generate a first set of rig parameters using a first model based on the first plurality of vertices;
receive a second plurality of vertices;
generate a second set of rig parameters using a second model based on the second plurality of vertices; and
generate a composite set of rig parameters based on the first and second sets of rig parameters,
wherein:
the first plurality of vertices comprise a first plurality of control points;
the second plurality of vertices comprise a second plurality of control points;
the first plurality of control points correspond to a first region of the facial model;
the second plurality of control points correspond to a second region of the facial model that is disjoint with respect to the first region;
the first plurality of control points are disjoint with respect to the second plurality of control points;
the first plurality of vertices is provided to the first model based on the first model being associated with the first region; and
the second plurality of vertices is provided to the second model based on the second model being associated with the second region.
