Exporting Vector Muscles for Facial Animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce a method of exporting vector muscles from one 3D face to another for facial animation. Starting from a 3D face with an extended version of Waters’ linear muscle system, we transfer the linear muscles to a target 3D face. We also transfer the region division, which is used to increase the performance of the muscle as well as to control the animation. The human involvement is just as simple as selecting the faces which shows the most natural facial expressions in the animator’s view. The method allows the transfer of the animation to a new 3D model within a short time. The transferred muscles can then be used to create new animations.

3D Face Deformation Using Control Points and Vector Muscles
The creation and animation of 3D facial models has depended on animators' manual work frame by frame. Thus, it needs many efforts and time as well as various hardware and software. This paper is aimed at developing a facial expression modeling system based on vector muscle which can produce diverse and realistic facial expressions. 8 standard facial models fitting the characteristics of Korean ...
متن کاملMuscle-based Facial Animation
The goal of this project is to create a muscle-based facial model which can be used to generate realistic facial animation. Maya software was used to set up the facial muscles, and attach them to the facial geometry so that changing the muscle parameter values will deform the shape of the facial model. To create smooth animation, one can change the contractions of each muscle resulting in a cha...
متن کاملRealistic Speech Animation of Synthetic Faces
In this study, we combined physically-based modeling and parameterization to generate realistic speech animation on synthetic faces. We used physically-based modeling for muscles. Muscles are modeled as forces deforming the mesh of polygons. Parameterization technique is used for generating mouth shapes for speech animation. Each meaningful part of a text,which is a letter in our case,correspon...
متن کاملMuscle and Skin Model for Facial Animation Submitted to the University of Glasgow
Facial animation is a popular area of research which has been around for over thirty years, but even with this long time scale, automatically creating realistic facial expressions is still an unsolved goal. This work furthers the state of the art in computer facial animation by introducing a new muscle and skin model and a method of easily transferring a full muscle and bone animation setup fro...
متن کاملVisualization of talking human head
This paper describes the system for visualization of human face and its animation. The system uses the representation of real facial muscles on a model of a face. The animation is based on the deformations of muscles. These deformations are described in the medical literature. We used the advantage of defining objects in VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language). The application has been writte...
