Our work is a perceptual study into the effects of training poses on the Example-Based Facial Rigging (EBFR) method. We analyse the output of EBFR given a set of training poses to see how well the results reproduced our ground truth actor scans compared to a Deformation Transfer approach. While EBFR produced better results overall, there were cases that did not see any improvement. While some of these results may be explained by lack of sufficient training poses for the area of the face in question, we found that certain lip poses were not improved by training, despite a large number of mouth training poses supplied.

Adding the sense of touch to hearing and seeing would be necessary for a true immersive experience. This is the promise of the growing "4D-cinema" based on motion platforms and others sensory effects (water spray, wind, scent, etc.). Touch provides a new dimension for filmmakers and leads to a new creative area, the haptic cinematography. However design rules ar…
Facial caricature is the art of drawing faces in an exaggerated way to convey emotions such as humor or sarcasm. Automatic caricaturization has been explored both in the 2D and 3D domain. In this paper, we present the first study of facial mesh caricaturization techniques. In addition to a user study, we propose two novel approaches to automatically caricaturize…
