Description
Skinning is the process of attaching a renderable skin to an underlying articulated skeleton. There are several approaches to skinning with varying degrees
of realism and complexity. Our main focus will be on the smooth skinning
algorithm, which is both fast and reasonably effective, and has been used extensively in real time and pre-rendered animation. The smooth skinning algorithm
goes by many other names in the literature, such as blended skinning, multimatrix skinning, linear blend skinning, skeletal subspace deformation (SSD),
and sometimes just skinning.
This chapter will explain the smooth skinning algorithm in detail and provide
additional information about the offline creation and binding process. Binding
refers to the initial attachment of the skin to the underlying skeleton and assigning any necessary information to the vertices.
Smooth skinning, while fast and straightforward, does have its limitations,
and so alternative techniques are also briefly introduced and referenced, including a variety of deformation techniques and some more elaborate anatomically
based approaches that simulate muscle and skin deformations

Design & Analysis of Algorithm

We study data structures so that we can learn to write more efficient programs. But
why must programs be efficient when new computers are faster every year? The
reason is that our ambitions grow with our capabilities. Instead of rendering efficiency needs obsolete, the modern revolution in computing power and storage capability merely raises the efficiency stakes as we computerize more complex tasks.
The quest for program efficiency need not and should not conflict with sound
design and clear coding. Creating efficient programs has little to do with “programming tricks” but rather is based on good organization of information and good algorithms. A programmer who has not mastered the basic principles of clear design
is not likely to write efficient programs. Conversely, “software engineering” cannot
be used as an excuse to justify inefficient performance. Generality in design can
and should be achieved without sacrificing performance, but this can only be done
if the designer understands how to measure performance and does so as an integral
part of the design and implementation process. Most computer science curricula
recognize that good programming skills begin with a strong emphasis on fundamental software engineering principles. Then, once a programmer has learned the
principles of clear program design and implementation, the next step is to study the
effects of data organization and algorithms on program efficiency
