Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide an approach of animating a character face of an artificial character based on facial poses performed by a live actor. Geometric characteristics of the facial surface corresponding to each facial pose performed the live actor may be learnt by a machine learning system, which in turn build a mesh of a facial rig of an array of controllable elements applicable on a character face of an artificial character.
