Sketching is an important activity in any design process. Designers and stakeholders share their ideas through hand-drawn sketches. These sketches are further used to create 3D models. Current methods to generate 3D models from sketches are…

A perceived limitation of evolutionary art and design algorithms is that they rely on human intervention; the artist selects the most aesthetically pleasing variants of one generation to produce the next. This paper discusses how computer…

Fast and light-weight methods for animating 3D characters are desirable in various applications such as computer games. We present a learning-based approach to enhance skinning-based animations of 3D characters with vivid secondary motion…

3D shape creation and modeling remains a challenging task especially for novice users. Many methods in the field of computer graphics have been proposed to automate the often repetitive and precise operations needed during the modeling of…

Interactive facial image manipulation attempts to edit single and multiple face attributes using a photo-realistic face and/or semantic mask as input. In the absence of the photo-realistic image (only sketch/mask available), previous…

Painting is one of the ways for people to express their ideas, but what if people with disabilities in hands want to paint? To tackle this challenge, we create an end-to-end solution that can generate artistic images from text descriptions.…

Imagine Mr. Bean stepping into Tom and Jerry--can we generate videos where characters interact naturally across different worlds? We study inter-character interaction in text-to-video generation, where the key challenge is to preserve each…

Sketch-based face recognition is an interesting task in vision and multimedia research, yet it is quite challenging due to the great difference between face photos and sketches. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for photo-sketch…

We propose an interactive GAN-based sketch-to-image translation method that helps novice users create images of simple objects. As the user starts to draw a sketch of a desired object type, the network interactively recommends plausible…

Currently it requires an artist to create 3D human avatars with realistic clothing that can move naturally. Despite progress on 3D scanning and modeling of human bodies, there is still no technology that can easily turn a static scan into…

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) generative modeling is driving significant innovations across industrial applications. Recent works have shown remarkable progress in creating solid models from various inputs such as point clouds, meshes, and…

Creating believable motions for various characters has long been a goal in computer graphics. Current learning-based motion synthesis methods depend on extensive motion datasets, which are often challenging, if not impossible, to obtain. On…

Real-time rendering of human head avatars is a cornerstone of many computer graphics applications, such as augmented reality, video games, and films, to name a few. Recent approaches address this challenge with computationally efficient…

Hand-drawn character animation is a vibrant field in computer graphics, presenting challenges in achieving geometric consistency while conveying expressive motion. Traditional skeletal animation methods maintain geometric consistency but…

Generating animatable human avatars from a single image is essential for various digital human modeling applications. Existing 3D reconstruction methods often struggle to capture fine details in animatable models, while generative…

This article illustrates pedagogy through training in the handling of abstractions. Mental arithmetic is not limited to numerical calculation; one can mentally calculate primitives and simplify analytical expressions. Even if there is…

In the field of digital content creation, generating high-quality 3D characters from single images is challenging, especially given the complexities of various body poses and the issues of self-occlusion and pose ambiguity. In this paper,…

Generating diverse and natural human motion is one of the long-standing goals for creating intelligent characters in the animated world. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised method for generating long-range, diverse and plausible…

A 3D caricature is an exaggerated 3D depiction of a human face. The goal of this paper is to model the variations of 3D caricatures in a compact parameter space so that we can provide a useful data-driven toolkit for handling 3D caricature…

In this paper we present, to the best of our knowledge, the first method to learn a generative model of 3D shapes from natural images in a fully unsupervised way. For example, we do not use any ground truth 3D or 2D annotations, stereo…
