Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention include computer-implemented methods and apparatuses for monitoring user activity and managing controllers in a 3-D environment that are provided herein. Exemplary methods may include: receiving user input in the form of user activity associated with a rigging of a character in a 3-D environment; monitoring the user activity, the user activity being indicated by a change in animation curve data; detecting a change in the user activity; identifying nodes associated with the change in the user activity, in which the nodes are controllers that are manipulated by the user in the rigging of a character in a 3-D environment; and adjusting the nodes such that the nodes are matched to the change in the user activity.

Claim (Index 11):
The system of  claim 9 , in which the detected change in user activity is the user manipulating a key, and in which identifying nodes associated with the change in the user activity and adjusting the nodes comprises:\n determining a node of the identified nodes that is currently selected by the user; detecting a manipulation of a key by the user, in which the manipulation of the key corresponds to a position change of the currently selected node; collecting position data of the selected node; using the collected position data, determining a new position of the selected node corresponding to the manipulation of the key; finding nodes related to the currently selected node; and applying the position change of the selected node to the related nodes.
