Abstract

Systems and methods for identifying one or more facial expression parameters associated with a pose of a character are disclosed. A system may execute a game development application to identify facial expression parameters for a particular pose of a character. The system may receive an input identifying the pose of the character. Further, the system may provide the input to a machine learning model. The machine learning model may be trained based on a plurality of poses and expected facial expression parameters for each pose. Further, the machine learning model can identify a latent representation of the input. Based on the latent representation of the input, the machine learning model can generate one or more facial expression parameters of the character and output the one or more facial expression parameters. The system may also generate a facial expression of the character and output the facial expression.
