Systems and methods for automating the personalization of blendshape rigs based on performance capture data

Abstract:

The present specification describes systems and methodsfor automatically generating personalized blendshapes from actor performance measurements, while preserving the semantics of a template facial animation rig. The disclosed inventions facilitate the creation of an ensemble of realistic digital double face rigs for each individual with consistent behaviour across the set with sophisticated iterative optimization techniques.
