Efficient, flexible, automated means of character creation and animation
are in demand due to the quick transformations in digital content creation and real-time
rendering technologies. The old workflows of character rigging and bone manipulation
for animation never were really in favor of creative scaling and iterative capability as
they were quite demanding time-wise with rather manual intervention required. In this
paper, a new framework is suggested for optimizing and automating the processes of
3D character creation and animation, with special attention paid to procedural bone
generation and control in Blender.
