Abstract :
A new animation system produces realistic expressive facial motion at interactive speed. It employs motion models that control facial-expression dynamics and retain the expressions´ temporal signature learned from motion capture data. A nondeterministic component ensures the variety of the long-term visual behavior. This system can efficiently animate any synthetic face.
