Democratizing the Creation of Animatable Facial Avatars. (arXiv:2401.16534v1 [cs.GR])
cs.CV updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
In high-end visual effects pipelines, a customized (and expensive) light
stage system is (typically) used to scan an actor in order to acquire both
geometry and texture for various expressions. Aiming towards democratization,
we propose a novel pipeline for obtaining geometry and texture as well as
enough expression information to build a customized person-specific animation
rig without using a light stage or any other high-end hardware (or manual
cleanup). A key novel idea consists of warping real-world images to align …
