Re: [Algorithms] Algo for weight assignment in skinned animation

[Bill B. <wb...@gm...>]

Heat diffusion for weights.  Sounds reminiscent of the Harmonic
Coordinates cage-based deformation technique of Joshi et al.

The implementation looks easy enough, so I'll give it a try.   Thanks
for pointing that out!
