ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed in which one or more standard faces are transformed into a target face so as to allow expressions corresponding to the standard face(s) to be used as animation vectors by the target face. In particular, a non-linear morphing transformation function is determined between the standard face(s) and the target face. The target face animation vectors are a function of the morphing transformation function and the animation vectors of the standard face(s).
