Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: obtaining input data corresponding to a pose of a subject, the input data including position information for points on a face of the subject; obtaining an animation model, the animation model being associated with adjustable controls usable for adjusting the animation model to define poses for a computer representation of a face; determining, using the position information, a correspondence between one or more of the points on the face of the subject and one or more points of the computer representation of the face, wherein the determining includes using an objective function to project an error onto a control space of the animation model; and setting the one or more adjustable controls to have one or more values based on the projected error and one or more constraints for the one or more adjustable controls, wherein the setting of the one or more adjustable controls causes the computer representation of the face to have a pose based on the pose of the subject.
