ABSTRACT:
A system and method for weighting one or more vertices in a region being deformed by free-form deformation techniques assigns a weight a vertex based on the position of that vertex within the deformation lattice. The assigned weight is used to alter the amount of displacement that the free-form deformation would otherwise have on the vertex by an amount proportional to the weight.
