One-to-Many: Example-Based Mesh Animation Synthesis
(ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
We propose an example-based approach for synthesizing diverse mesh animations. Provided a short clip of deformable mesh animation, our method synthesizes a large number of different animations of arbitrary length. Combining ...
Differential Blending for Expressive Sketch-Based Posing
(ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
Generating highly expressive and caricatured poses can be difficult in 3D computer animation because artists must interact with characters indirectly through complex character rigs. Furthermore, since caricatured poses ...
Geodesic Voxel Binding for Production Character Meshes
(ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
We propose a fully automatic method for specifying influence weights for closed-form skinning methods, such as linear blend skinning. Our method is designed to work with production meshes that may contain non-manifold ...
Tessellation-Independent Smooth Shadow Boundaries
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
We propose an efficient and light-weight solution for rendering smooth shadow boundaries that do not reveal the tessellation of the shadow-casting geometry. Our algorithm reconstructs the smooth contours of the underlying ...
Virtual Character Performance From Speech
(ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
We demonstrate a method for generating a 3D virtual character performance from the audio signal by inferring the acoustic and semantic properties of the utterance. Through a prosodic analysis of the acoustic signal, we ...
Data-driven Glove Calibration for Hand Motion Capture
(ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
Hand motion is an important component of human motion, playing a central role in communication. However, it is difficult to capture hand motion optically, especially in conjunction with full body motion. Due to a lack of ...
High Fidelity Facial Animation Capture and Retargeting With Contours
(ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Association, 2013)
Human beings are naturally sensitive to subtle cues in facial expressions, especially in areas of the eyes and mouth. Current facial motion capture methods fail to accurately reproduce motions in those areas due to multiple ...
