Title:
- Vuvuzela: A Facial Scan Correspondence Tool
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
When scanning an actor’s face in multiple static facial expressions, it is often desirable for the resulting scans to all have the same topology and for the textures to all be in the same UV space. Such “corresponded” scans would enable the straightforward creation of blendshape-based facial rigs. We present Vuvuzela, a semi-automated facial scan correspondence tool. Vuvuzela is currently being used in our facial rigging pipeline, and was one of the key tools in the Digital Ira project.
