Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: producing an initial animation model from a plurality of poses of an object provided from a deformable likeness of the object created from an electronic image of the object having first resolution and motion data of the object captured by at least one camera and represented in a second resolution, lower than the first resolution, wherein the plurality of poses are based upon position information from the motion data; and producing a refined animation model by adjusting positions of vertices in the initial animation model to more closely correspond to vertices in the motion data and produce representations that substantially match the plurality of poses provided by the deformable likeness of the object; wherein the initial animation model includes at least some vertices that do not have counterpart vertices in the motion data and producing the refined animation model includes mapping positional information of vertices included in the motion data to corresponding vertices in the animation model and determining positional changes for the at least some vertices that lack counterpart vertices in the motion data based on a function.
