DescriptionWe present a new approach for character articulation that produces detail-preserving deformations controlled by 3D curves that profile the deforming surface. To propagate the curve articulation over the character surface, we introduce a surface-cutting algorithm and derive a cut-aware numerical discretization that provides harmonic interpolations with curve discontinuities.
