Synopsis

The expanding development and use of computer-based visualization techniques and three-dimensional character animation in fields as diverse as entertainment and medicine have placed such topics at the forefront of computer related subjects. This comprehensive work by Parke and Waters, which includes many prevalent techniques in computer animation, discusses in particular the current state-of-the-art in face creation and the manipulation of facial attributes using the computer. A visual cornucopia of images, diagrams, and color plates, this book places facial animation in an historical framework and then looks ahead at its promising future in industry, research, and education.
