• Abstract summary: In computer-aided animation artists define the key poses of a character by manipulating its skeletons. Character pose must respect many ill-defined constraints, and so the resulting realism greatly depends on the animator's skill and knowledge. We describe an efficient tool for pose design, allowing users to intuitively manipulate a pose to create character animations.

• Abstract: Authoring an appealing animation for a virtual character is a challenging task. In computer-aided keyframe animation artists define the key poses of a character by manipulating its underlying skeletons. To look plausible, a character pose must respect many ill-defined constraints, and so the resulting realism greatly depends on the animator's skill and knowledge. Animation software provide tools to help in this matter, relying on various algorithms to automatically enforce some of these constraints. The increasing availability of motion capture data has raised interest in data-driven approaches to pose design, with the potential of shifting more of the task of assessing realism from the artist to the computer, and to provide easier access to nonexperts. In this article, we propose such a method, relying on neural networks to automatically learn the constraints from the data. We describe an efficient tool for pose design, allowing na{\"i}ve users to intuitively manipulate a pose to create character animations.

  Current learning-based motion synthesis methods depend on extensive motion datasets. pose data is more accessible, since posed characters are easier to create and can even be extracted from images. Our method generates plausible motions for characters that have only pose data by transferring motion from an existing motion capture dataset of another character.
