Field notes
The WebAssembly demo lets visitors move joints, adjust motion parameters, and inspect the skeleton and skinning weights, with CPU and GPU options. Examples range from a bending cylinder to painted weights that confine deformation to a creature’s wings and tentacles; the page also links Blender examples and separate minimal and complete code applications.
