A library to rig 3D models — visit Disfigure Home for less details.
This is highly experimental work and is still in progress. There are several things that make Disfigure different from the traditional Three.js rigging.
-
Disfigure does not use skeletons, bones, joints, skinning or morphing. Instead, it defines fuzzy subspaces around 50+ pivot points and uses TSL to calculate the transformation inside the subspaces.
-
Disfigure avoids matrices and implements transformations via quaternions only. Instead of calculating rotations at pivot points, it calculates individual rotations for each vertex based on its position in a fuzzy subspace.
-
Disfigure fuses standalone meshes with instanced meshes. In this hybrid approach one draw call renders bodies as instances, but each body has its own properties like
.positionand.scale.
Initially Disfigure was written as a TSL wrapper over traditional skeleton armature. This version of Disfigure is temporarily available here: Old Disfigure Home
