We have designed an interactive editing system that will help users to create new characters based on a limited number of training characters. The user provides a desired preliminary shape of the new character. The output of our system will be a convex linear combination of the existed characters in a local sense while maintaining the proximity to the user desired shape as much as possible. This feature guarantees the creation process is guided by the information of artists' previous works. The system first finds the best set of training characters and blending weights that represents the user desired shape, then computes the result shape, which matches the obtained composition, using an edge-based integration.

A facial composite editor for blendshape characters
DigiPro '12: Proceedings of the Digital Production SymposiumIn this paper we present an interactive editing system that allows digital modelers to rapidly create new blendshape face models for incidental or background characters, starting from a small number of given face models. The obvious approach of ...
Creating Interactive Robotic Characters: Through a combination of artificial intelligence and professional animation
HRI'15 Extended Abstracts: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction Extended AbstractsWe are integrating artificial intelligent agents with generic animation systems in order to provide socially interactive robots with expressive behavior defined by animation artists. Such animators will therefore be able to apply principles of ...
