The automatic generation of Virtual Humans is a challenging problem if they are to look both plausible and unique within a population. We present an approach which exploits the power of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs), and provide illustrative examples of how our methods may be realised within the context of surface-based model geometry.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]: Three-Dimensional Graphics and Realism I.2.8 [Artificial Intelligence]: Problem Solving, Control Methods, and Search - Heuristic methods I.6.5 [Simulation and Modeling]: Model Development - Modeling methodologies
