Overcoming Facial Animation Hurdles by Leveraging Interdisciplinary Knowledge and AI-Assisted Creative Process
DescriptionThis paper addresses the challenge of limited acting skills in facial animation education, which is further heightened by the advent of realistic digital humans such as Unreal Engine MetaHuman. We introduce a transformative interdisciplinary framework that combines animation technology (Unreal Engine MetaHuman) with psychological theory (Scherer’s appraisal theory) to address this issue. Together with the integration of AI tools in the workflow, such as Microsoft Copilot, Adobe Firefly, and an AI voice changer, the framework supports student creativity, helping students overcome performance anxiety and develop nuanced facial animation performance.
