Abstract

In the domain of computer graphic, to achieve facial animation looks like real human performance without any bias is always the holy grail of related research academy and industry[Ma 2008]. Next Media Animation (NMA) as the Asia's leading animation studio is famous for applying the fast production pipeline to generate news animation and cartoon episodes. We has developed a unique pipeline, following the scenario to assemble models from our own data base with mocap data to render out news story for worldwide broadcasting in two hours. However, for the high-end quality, to develop a practical and fast pipeline for merging facial animation into NMA current news pipeline without any additional time request has become an issue of our Media Lab R&D team.
