Abstract: A method includes determining a set of one or more visual appearance values that indicate a visual appearance of an object that is to be placed in an environment. The method includes selecting, based on the set of one or more visual appearance values, a rig that allows the object to be manipulated to exhibit movement in the environment. The method includes applying the rig to the object by associating joints of the rig with respective portions of the object. The method includes animating the object within the environment by manipulating the joints of the rig associated with the object.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of manipulating animation timing is provided by a device including one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, using a display, a timeline for an animation of an object moving along a path, wherein the timeline includes a plurality of ticks, wherein each of the plurality of ticks is associated with a respective distance along the timeline and a respective distance along the path, wherein the respective distance along the timeline is proportional to an amount of time for the object to move the respective distance along the path. The method includes receiving, using one or more input devices, an input within the timeline. The method includes, in response to receiving the input within the timeline, changing the respective distances along the timeline of two or more of the plurality of ticks.
