contents In this work, we show that exploiting additional variables in a mixed finite element formulation of deformation leads to an efficient physics-based character skinning algorithm. Taking as input, a user-defined rig, we show how to efficiently compute deformations of the character mesh which respect artist-supplied handle positions and orientations, but without requiring complicated constraints on the physics solver, which can cause poor performance. Rather we demonstrate an efficient, user controllable skinning pipeline that can generate compelling character deformations, using a variety of physics material models.
