Abstract—We propose the statistical analysis of parameters for example-based torque-integrated skinning methods. Recently, the physically-based linear blend skinning is proposed which is in the category of the example-based torque-integrated system. The physically-based linear blend skinning has linear scale/shear blending function and linear rotation blending function. In the current study, the degree of the polynomial blending functions are extended to three, i.e., it is either linear, quadratic, or cubic. We use the arm and leg model as experimental models. The evaluation results show that scale/shear blending function needs to be quadratic in the case of the leg.
