Human Facial Modeling Project
The Human Facial Modeling Project Team:
Project Deidre (I):
Modeling Human Facial Expressions - Human thespians
conveys an extraordinary amount of information from facial expressions. A
good thespian could convey a slight disapproval by a simple arching of an
eyebrow, a mocking contempt with a flaring of the nostrils, and encouragement
with a slight smile at the corner of the lips. As one might imagine, modeling
human facial expressions is both a difficult and complex topic. We examine
some of the researches done as well as taking a first crack at the problem.
Project Deidre (II):
Animating Human Facial Expressions - Continuing our work from the
previous project. We modeled some key features (such as eyebrows, interior
of mouth, hair) on the human face that are
as important to facial expressions as the distortion of the facial skin.
We also build on top of the previous project by using the muscle primitives
built in the previous project to construct macros that express the six
universal emotions.
