Abstract

The creation of convincing computer generated human faces which can withstand close-up scrutiny under arbitrary lighting has been notoriously difficult to achieve, especially for well known actors. For the film "Spider-Man 2" it was decided to try recent experimental computer graphics research that looked promising but that had never been production tested.
