Statement: What causes us to perceive "personality?" At what point does a sculpture appear to "come to life?" And hey, what's with the "big lips?" Production notes: All the skin is a single sphere, procedurally modified in real-time by multiple space-varying displacements. About 30 such displacements are applied at each frame of animation to define all the bones and muscles. Expressions and emotions are animated by modifying displacements with time-varying noise. Instructions: Drag the mouse over the applet to change the view. Click any of the three buttons below left. Hint: the third button is the coolest. Or try varying expression with the sliders below. To resume wandering between expressions, click "Emote!"). - Ken Perlin transparency show mesh show construction     Java source for sliders.       Emote!
