[Algorithms] Mesh Skinning

[S. D. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi,
I want to implement an open-source library for fast mesh skinning. Mesh
skinning is widely used in character animation. I want to implement such an
algorithm for surgical training simulation. The idea is to have different
resolutions of a 3D model, usually this model represents a human organ.
Deformations are applied to a low-res version of the model. A high-res model
is coupled by mesh skinning to the low-res model. The high-res model is then
rendered. I was wondering if someone has experience in this filed and could
provide me with useful references for a start.
