ABSTRACT
This course will introduce students, researchers and digital artists to the recent results in perceptual research on virtual characters. It covers both how technical and artistic aspects that constitute the appearance of a virtual character influence human perception. We will report results of studies that addressed the influence of low-level cues like facial proportions, shading or level of detail and higher-level cues such as behavior or artistic stylization. We will place emphasis on aspects that are encountered during character development, animation, and achieving consistency between the visuals and storytelling. The insights that we present in this course will serve as an additional toolset to anticipate the effect of certain design decisions and to create more convincing characters, especially in the case where budgets or time are limited.

Perception of lighting and shading for animated virtual characters
SAP '16: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied PerceptionThe design of lighting in Computer Graphics is directly derived from cinematography, and many digital artists follow the conventional wisdom on how lighting is set up to convey drama, appeal, or emotion. In this paper, we are interested in investigating ...
Visualizing Perceptions of Non-Player Characters in Interactive Virtual Reality Environments
VRST '22: Proceedings of the 28th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyVisual effects and elements to visualize the perceptions of one’s own virtual character (also referred to as Visual Delegates) are often used in video games, e.g., status bars visualize the character’s sense of health, filters on the interface layer ...
VirtualActor: Endowing Virtual Characters with a Repertoire for Acting
Interactive StorytellingAbstractThe research project VirtualActor will develop Virtual Actors, with focus on creating linear 3D stories. Virtual Actors are virtual characters that can follow abstract directions on how to act, in analogy to a real actor that follows commands of a ...
