Practice and Theory of Blendshape Facial Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Blendshapes”, a simple linear model of facial expression, is the prevalent approach to realistic facial animation. It has driven animated characters in Hollywood films, and is a standard feature of commercial animation packages. The blendshape approach originated in industry, and became a subject of academic research relatively recently. This survey describes the published state of the art in this area, covering both literature from the graphics research community, and developments published in industry forums. We show that, despite the simplicity of the blendshape approach, there remain open problems associated with this fundamental technique.

Reading Between the Dots: Combining 3D Markers and FACS Classification for High-Quality Blendshape Facial Animation
Marker based performance capture is one of the most widely used approaches for facial tracking owing to its robustness. In practice, marker based systems do not capture the performance with complete fidelity and often require subsequent manual adjustment to incorporate missing visual details. This problem persists even when using larger number of markers. Tracking a large number of markers can ...
متن کاملFacial Motion Capture Editing by Automated Orthogonal Blendshape Construction and Weight Propagation∗
We present a novel data-driven 3D facial motion capture data editing system by automated construction of an orthogonal blendshape face model and constrained weight propagation, aiming to bridge the popularized facial motion capture technique and blendshape approach. In this work, 3D facial motion capture editing problem is transformed to a blendshape animation editing problem. Given a collected...
متن کاملA framework for locally retargeting and rendering facial performance
We present a facial motion retargeting method that enables the control of a blendshape rig according to marker-based motion capture data. The main purpose of the proposed technique is to allow a blendshape rig to create facial expressions, which conforms best to the current motion capture input, regardless the underlying blendshape poses. In other words, even though all of the blendshape poses ...
متن کاملArt-directed muscle simulation for high-end facial animation
We propose a new framework for the simulation of facial muscle and flesh that so significantly improves the technique that it allows for immediate mainstream use of anatomically and biomechanically accurate muscle models as a bread and butter technique in a high-end production quality pipeline. The key idea is to create a blendshape system for the muscles that gives the precise directability an...
متن کاملSketch-Based Controllers for Blendshape Facial Animation
The blendshape approach is a widely used technique to generate realistic facial animation. However, creating blendshape facial animations using traditional weight editing tools requires either memorizing the function of a large number of parameters, or a trial-and-error search in a high-dimensional space. Direct manipulation interfaces address this problem, allowing the artist to directly move ...
