Resumen de Creating the virtual self: re-using facial animation in different avatars

Verónica Costa Orvalho, Antoni Susín Sánchez

• Creating by hand the facial rig for each avatar is time consuming. We developed an application, implementing a novel deformation method, that automatically transfers rif and animations between characters, 90-99% faster than traditional techniques. Our technology can be embedded into virtual environment frameworks to quickly create new avatars and easily customize them.
