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

Risk Management Principles for Electronic Banking Trending!
Continuing technological innovation and competition among existing banking organizations and new entrants have allowed for a much wider array of banking products and services to become accessible and delivered to retail and wholesale customers through an electronic distribution channel collectively referred to as e-banking. However, the rapid development of e-banking capabilities carries risks as well as benefits. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision expects such risks to be recognised, addressed and managed by banking institutions in a prudent manner according to the fundamental characteristics and challenges of e-banking services. These characteristics include the unprecedented speed of change related to technological and customer service innovation, the ubiquitous and global nature of open electronic networks, the integration of ebanking applications with legacy computer systems and the increasing dependence of banks on third parties that provide the necessary information technology. While not creating inherently new risks, the Committee noted that these characteristics increased and modified some of the traditional risks associated with banking activities, in particular strategic, operational, legal and reputational risks, thereby influencing the overall risk profile of banking.
