Example-Based Facial Rigging

This is an implementation of "Example-Based Facial Rigging, Siggraph 2010."

It is a method for generating facial blendshape rigs from a set of example poses of a CG character.

Dependencies

• trimesh2
• Eigen 3.3.3
• SuiteSparse
• ceres solver 1.12.0

install trimesh2

cd third_party/trimesh2
make clean && make

install SuiteSparse

cd third_party/SuiteSparse
make
sudo make install

install ceres

cd third_party/ceres-solver-1.12.0
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install

if error, please refer to https://blog.csdn.net/calvinpaean/article/details/99761765.

Compile

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j8

mkdir B
mkdir initBlendshape
mkdir reconstruct
mkdir S

./TestCases

Results

Upper: reference blendshapes, Below: calculated blendshapes for another subject
