  • A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A 3D FACE COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE DEFORMED REGION
    Publication number: 20240249489
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for generating a 3D face comprising at least one region deformed according to a deformation style are provided. 3D data representative of at least one region of a first 3D face is provided as input to a neural network-based geometry deformation generator. Data representative of the deformation style is provided as input to the neural network-based geometry deformation generator. The 3D face comprising the at least one deformed region is obtained from the neural network-based geometry deformation generator, wherein the at least one deformed region includes geometry deformations representative of the deformation style.

  • A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A 3D FACE COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE DEFORMED REGION
    Publication number: 20230334805
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for generating a 3D face comprising at least one deformed region are disclosed. A curvature exaggeration face is obtained from at least one region of a first 3D face, and a proportion exaggeration deformation is obtained for said least one region of said first 3D face. The curvature exaggeration face and the proportion exaggeration deformation for obtaining said at least one deformed region of said 3D face are combined.

  • Robust attribute transfer for character animation
    Patent number: 10489956
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention disclosed herein provides techniques for transferring attributes from a source animated character to a target character. A character attribute transfer system identifies a first set of markers corresponding to the source animated character. The character attribute transfer system identifies a second set of markers corresponding to the target character. The character attribute transfer system generates a geometric correspondence between the source animated character and the target character based on the first set of markers and the second set of markers independent of differences in geometry between the source animated character and the target character. The character attribute transfer system transfers a first attribute from the source animated character to the target character based on the geometric correspondence.
