METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONSTRUCTING AN ANIMATED 3D FACIAL MODEL FROM A 2D FACIAL IMAGE

摘要

Embodiments provide methods and systems for rendering a 3D facial model from a 2D facial image. A method includes receiving, by a processor, a plurality of facial graphics data associated with the 2D facial image of a user, where the plurality of facial graphics data includes a 2D polygonal facial mesh, a facial texture, and a skin tone. The method further includes displaying user interfaces for receiving a user input for modifying facial features in the 2D polygonal facial mesh integrated with facial texture and skin tone. The method further includes morphing the 2D polygonal facial mesh to a generic 3D head model. Further, a facial prop is selected for morphing the prop to adapt to the 3D facial model. Thereafter, the method includes rendering the 3D facial model by exporting a prop occlusion texture associated with the facial prop and applying user inputs for animating the 3D facial model.
