Skeletal animation or rigging is a technique in computer animation in which a character (or other articulated object) is represented in two parts: a polygonal or parametric mesh representation of the surface of the object, and a hierarchical set of interconnected parts (called joints or bones, and collectively forming the skeleton), a virtual ...
Mixamo also provides an online, automatic model rigging service known as the Auto-Rigger, which was the industry's first online rigging service. The AutoRigger applies machine learning to understand where the limbs of a 3D model are and to insert a "skeleton", or rig, into the 3D model as well as calculating the skinning weights.
The more sophisticated, rigged style of animation for CG films was not conducive to smear frames at the time. [3] The earliest notable use of smear frames in a computer animated film was 2012’s Hotel Transylvania, in which Genndy Tartakovsky's traditional design philosophies were used to guide the 3D shots.

An animation composed in one 3D application suite sometimes needs to be transferred to another, as for rendering. Because different 3D applications tend to implement bones and other special effects differently, the morph target technique is sometimes used to transfer animations between 3D applications to avoid export issues.
The T-pose is primarily used as the default armature pose for skeletal animation in 3D software, which is then manipulated to create animation. The purpose of the T-pose relates to the important elements of the body being axis-aligned, thereby making it easier to rig the model for animation, physics, and other controls.
The earliest known example is 3D Art Graphics, a set of 3-D computer graphics effects, written by Kazumasa Mitazawa and released in June 1978 for the Apple II. [6] [7] Virtual Reality 3D is a version of 3D computer graphics. [8] With the first headset coming out in the late 1950s, the popularity of VR didn't take off until the 2000s.
Onion skin of frame 7 of this image showing previous 3 frames. In 2D computer graphics, onion skinning is a technique used in creating animated cartoons and editing films to view several frames at once. This way, the animator or editor can make decisions on how to create or change an image based on the previous image in the sequence.
