Abstract
Computing an image depicting a face having an expression with wrinkles is described. A 3D polygon mesh model of a face has a non-neutral expression. A tension map is computed from the 3D polygon mesh model. A neutral texture, a compressed wrinkle texture and an expanded wrinkle texture are computed or obtained from a library. The neutral texture comprises a map of the first face with a neutral expression. The compressed wrinkle texture is a map of the first face formed by aggregating maps of the first face with different expressions using the tension map, and the expanded wrinkle texture comprises a map of the first face formed by aggregating maps of the first face with different expressions using the tension map. A graphics engine may be used to apply the wrinkle textures to the 3D model according to the tension map; and render the image from the 3D model.
