Abstract:

A computer animation system, method, game, device, and storage medium are provided. The method typically includes providing a two-dimensional map of an animated object, in which the two-dimensional map includes rendering information. The method typically further includes rendering an animated object by applying, in real time, portions of a skin texture to the two dimensional map based on the rendering information. The method may be used for real-time computer game animation. The rendering information may be encoded as color values, which are transmitted by color channels.
