Abstract
A system and method for generating real-time facial animation is disclosed. The system relies upon pre-generating a series of key expression images from a single neutral image using a pre-trained generative adversarial neural network. The key expression images are used to generate a set of FACS expressions and associated textures which may be applied to a three-dimensional model to generate facial animation. The FACS expressions and textures may be provided to a mobile device to enable that mobile device to generate convincing three-dimensional avatars in real-time with convincing animation in a processor non-intensive way through a blending process using the pre-determined FACS expressions and textures.
