PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a three-dimensional animation system in which animation data are quickly downloaded via a slow communication link. SOLUTION: The system and the method for three-dimensional character animation supply quick downloading of animated characters, as the persistent data of the animated characters are downloaded in order to start animation first. Behavior files more than one, which reduces the initial downloading time of the characters, may be downloaded, if necessary. The system may record the persistent data in a character cache. The persistent data decide contribution for imparting movement of each joint in the characters on each polygon of the characters in order to reduce the size of the behavior file. A morphlink to each polygon on the characters may be included. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
