Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a behavioral gridmap for aligning a locomotion sequence with a performed motion sequence, the method comprising: generating, using a computing device, a behavioral motion space from a first locomotion motion space and a first performed motion space, wherein the first locomotion motion space includes one or more motion clips depicting a character performing a first periodic motion sequence, and the first performed motion space includes one or more motion clips depicting the character performing a first performed motion sequence; generating a set of registration curves representing transitions from the first locomotion motion space to the first performed motion space; generating a first search space associated with a first rotation of a goal, wherein the first search space includes a plurality of parametric datapoints, and each parametric datapoint included in the plurality of parametric datapoints represents a different location that is reached after the first periodic motion sequence is executed according to a set of control parameters associated with the parametric datapoint and at which the first performed motion sequence is executed based on the first rotation of the goal; and filtering the first search space to generate a first behavioral gridmap.
