facade system

Facade with warping volumes - Screen shots of the "facade" parameterized facial animation system with before faces on the left and warped faces on the right using the interactive ellipsoidal warping and twisting volumes that I added to the system. Finished characters on the far right were both created and animated with facade using these warping volumes. JoJo on the top uses them in the typical gross way, while the more realistic head below it uses warping volumes in more subtle ways as surface bumps in the nose and under the lips and chin. These techniques are discussed in greater detail in my paper "Extending the Range of Facial Types", Journal of Visualization and Computer Animation, 1991. Credits: Steve DiPaola.
