[Bf-committers] improving quality and speed of character animation

[Joshua Leung]

Hmm... this does look like an interesting approach.

It'd be interesting to try implementing something like this at some point,
though I don't necessarily feel that it is a production critical tool yet
(there are a few other things that are more important to have first still).

BTW, is it just me, or did that link only include the first page of the
paper?
