  • Image-based deformation of simulated characters of varied topology
    Patent number: 9892540
    Abstract: A graphical asset associated with a simulated character of a video game is received. A first image and a second image associated with the simulated character are subsequently received, the first image comprising graphical displacement mapping information for a first topology of image deformation and the second image comprising graphical displacement mapping information for a second topology of deformation. A portion of the graphical asset is then deformed using the graphical displacement mapping information from the first image and the second image to change the 3D geometry of the portion of the graphical asset.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2018
    Assignee: ELECTRONIC ARTS INC.
    Inventors: Srikumar Nair, Igor Borovikov, Kenneth Tan Kok Yoong
