  • Systems and methods for animating models from audio data
    Patent number: 10169905
    Abstract: System and methods for computer animations of 3D models of heads generated from images of faces is disclosed. A 2D captured image that includes an image of a face can be received and used to generate a static 3D model of a head. A rig can be fit to the static 3D model to generate an animation-ready 3D generative model. Sets of rigs can be parameters that each map to particular sounds. These mappings can be used to generate a playlists of sets of rig parameters based upon received audio content. The playlist may be played in synchronization with an audio rendition of the audio content.
    Type: Grant
