Title:
- Photorealistic Inner Mouth Expression in Speech Animation
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
We often see close-ups of CG characters’ faces in movies or video games. In such situations, the quality of a character’s face (mainly in dialogue scenes) primarily determines that of the entire movie. Creating highly realistic speech animation is essential because viewers watch these scenes carefully. In general, such speech animations are created manually by skilled artists. However, creating them requires a considerable effort and time.
