Overview

Here you can download the Pinocchio library for automatic character rigging. It comes with a demo application and a little mocap data (from the video) that you can use to play around with meshes built in, for example, Teddy or any other modeling program. It can also produce files containing bone weights and skeleton positions. Read the README.txt file for details. The library is distributed under the GNU Lesser GPL and the demo app under the MIT license.

This is a research prototype. It should be relatively stable if you feed it input like it expects (manifold, closed, connected triangular mesh), but better error detection is necessary for use in production.
