Operating animation controls using evaluation logic

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transient storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to implement a method for operating animation controls associated with an animation control rig, the method comprising:
• determining a node graph used to operate one or more animation controls;
• receiving an executable code object configured to replace at least two nodes disposed in the node graph at runtime, wherein the executable code object is configured to execute animation control inputs used to control the one or more animation controls at runtime as a single execution block configured to merge at least two data evaluation processes into a single data evaluation process to reduce execution overhead;
• processing the control data inputs using the executable code object;
• and
• operating the one or more animation controls with respect to the single execution instruction in response to the control data inputs.
