    • Expression Packing: As-Few-As-Possible Training Expressions for Blendshape Transfer 

      Carrigan, Emma; Zell, Eduard; Guiard, Cedric; McDonnell, Rachel (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)
      To simplify and accelerate the creation of blendshape rigs, using a template rig is a common procedure, especially during the creation of digital doubles. Blendshape transfer methods facilitate copy and paste functionality ...

    • Fast Nonlinear Least Squares Optimization of Large-Scale Semi-Sparse Problems 

      Fratarcangeli, Marco; Bradley, Derek; Gruber, Aurel; Zoss, Gaspard; Beeler, Thabo (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)
      Many problems in computer graphics and vision can be formulated as a nonlinear least squares optimization problem, for which numerous off-the-shelf solvers are readily available. Depending on the structure of the problem, ...

    • SoftSMPL: Data-driven Modeling of Nonlinear Soft-tissue Dynamics for Parametric Humans 

      Santesteban, Igor; Garces, Elena; Otaduy, Miguel A.; Casas, Dan (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)
      We present SoftSMPL, a learning-based method to model realistic soft-tissue dynamics as a function of body shape and motion. Datasets to learn such task are scarce and expensive to generate, which makes training models ...

    • Style-Controllable Speech-Driven Gesture Synthesis Using Normalising Flows 

      Alexanderson, Simon; Henter, Gustav Eje; Kucherenko, Taras; Beskow, Jonas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2020)
      Automatic synthesis of realistic gestures promises to transform the fields of animation, avatars and communicative agents. In off-line applications, novel tools can alter the role of an animator to that of a director, who ...
