Claim:
1. A method for providing a three-dimensional body model which may be applied for an animation, based on a moving body, wherein the method comprises: providing a parametric three-dimensional body model, which allows shape and pose variations; applying a set of body markers; optimizing the set of body markers by generating an additional set of body markers and applying the additional set of body markers to the three dimensional body model for providing 3D coordinate marker signals for capturing shape and pose of the body and dynamics of soft tissue; automatically providing an animation by processing the 3D coordinate marker signals in order to provide a personalized three-dimensional body model, based on estimated shape and an estimated pose of the body by means of predicted marker locations; and the three-dimensional body model is trained by means of a set of scans in a plurality of shapes and poses in order to represent shape and pose-dependent deformations.
