System and method for runtime retargeting

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
• processing, at runtime of a videogame, one or more animation constraints, wherein said animation constraints include one or more of position constraints, orientation constraints, aim constraints, or limb length constraints;
• enforcing, at the runtime of the video game, using a runtime constraints solver, said animation constraints;
• and
• altering, at the runtime of the video game, at least one base animation.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

• processing, at runtime of a videogame, one or more animation constraints, wherein said animation constraints include one or more of position constraints, orientation constraints, aim constraints, or limb length constraints;
• enforcing, at the runtime of the video game, using a runtime constraints solver, said animation constraints;
• and
• altering, at the runtime of the video game, at least one base animation.
