Abstract
A method of automatically generating a three-dimensional entity is described. A sequence is generated comprising sets of blend shapes in order of increasing priority. Each set of blend shapes comprises one or more blend shape identifiers and parameters defining candidate blend weights for each blend shape. For each of the sets of blend shapes in the sequence and in order of increasing priority: the one or more blend shape identifiers in the set are added to a set of blend shapes for the entity. Dependent upon whether blend shape identifier that is added is already present in that set, the parameters for the blend shape are either added or updated. One or more blend shapes from the set of blend shapes for the entity are then added to a mesh of the entity using a randomization method and the resultant mesh is stored in memory.
