Systems and methods are provided for enhanced animation generation based on generative modeling. An example method includes training models based on faces and information associated with persons. The modeling system being trained to reconstruct expressions, textures, and models of persons.

Enhanced system for generation and optimization of facial models and animation

Systems and methods are provided for technical improvements with respect to generation of facial expressions, facial riggings, and models for characters configured for use in electronic games. The systems and methods may generate a facial animation rig that can be used to generate realistic facial expressions based on analyzing data captured from real-world persons. Advantageously, the system may allow for substantially automated facial rig generation.

Automated system for generation of facial animation rigs

Systems and methods are provided for enhanced animation generation based on generative modeling. An example method includes training models based on faces and information associated with persons, each face being defined based on location information associated with facial features, and identity information for each person. The modeling system being trained to reconstruct expressions, textures, and models of persons.

Enhanced system for generation of facial models and animation

A system may perform head pose neutralization on an input mesh to produce a neutral mesh and/or determine blend shapes for the neutral mesh. The system may generate a neutral mesh based on an input mesh and a reference mesh and then generate a blend shape associated with the neutral mesh based at least in part on one or more reference neutral meshes and one or more corresponding reference blend shapes.
