Abstract
This application discloses an artificial intelligence (AI) based animation character drive method. A first expression base of a first animation character corresponding to a speaker is determined by acquiring media data including a facial expression change when the speaker says a speech, and the first expression base may reflect different expressions of the first animation character. After target text information is obtained, an acoustic feature and a target expression parameter corresponding to the target text information are determined according to the target text information, the foregoing acquired media data, and the first expression base. A second animation character having a second expression base may be driven according to the acoustic feature and the target expression parameter, so that the second animation character may simulate the speaker's sound and facial expression when saying the target text information, thereby improving experience of interaction between the user and the animation character.
