Abstract:
Techniques for generating locomotion data for animating a virtual quadruped model, starting at an origin point and travelling to a destination point along a defined path. A virtual skeletal structure for the virtual quadruped model is analyzed to identify a torso region, limbs each ending in a respective end effector, and limb attributes. A predefined locomotion template for virtual quadruped characters is retrieved and mapped to the virtual quadruped model by aligning the torso region and the plurality of limbs of the virtual skeletal structure for the virtual quadruped with a second torso region and a second plurality of limbs of the predefined locomotion template. Locomotion data is generated for the virtual quadruped model based on the defined path and by upscaling the mapped predefined locomotion template, based at least on the set of limb attributes determined by analyzing the virtual skeletal structure for the virtual quadruped model.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving a request to generate locomotion data for a virtual quadruped model, starting at an origin point and travelling to a destination point along a defined path, further comprises:\n providing a graphical user interface through which an indication of the virtual quadruped model can be dragged, using an input device, from the origin point and dropped on the destination point to create the defined path, wherein the graphical user interface further provides a mechanism through which a rate of travel for the virtual quadruped model along the defined path can be specified, and wherein generating locomotion data for the virtual quadruped model based on the defined path and by upscaling the mapped predefined locomotion template, based at least on the set of limb attributes determined by analyzing the virtual skeletal structure for the virtual quadruped model further comprises determining a locomotion gait pattern for the virtual quadruped model and end effector height information for the locomotion gait pattern, based on the set of limb attributes determined by analyzing the virtual skeletal structure for the virtual quadruped model, wherein the set of limb attributes further includes at least a measure of limb length for one of the plurality of limbs of the virtual quadruped model.
