This paper presents a method to add fine details, such as wrinkles and bulges, on a virtual face animated by common skinning techniques. Our system is based on a small set of reference poses (combinations of skeleton poses and wrinkle maps). At runtime, the current pose is compared with the reference skeleton poses, wrinkle maps are blended and applied where similarities exist. The poses evalua...

Our aging skin undergoes changes with reductions in collagenous and elastic fibers, fibroblasts, mast cells, and macrophages with free radical production, which can result in reduced skin tone and wrinkle formation. Fibroblasts are important for dermal integrity and function with a decrease in function producing less skin tone, thinning, and wrinkle formation. Dermal levels of adenosine triphos...

A compressively strained film on a substrate can wrinkle into intricate patterns. This Rapid Communication studies the evolution of the wrinkle patterns. The film is modeled as an elastic nonlinear plate and the substrate a viscoelastic foundation. A spectral method is developed to evolve the nonlinear system. When the initial film strains are isotropic, the wrinkles evolve into a pattern with ...

This paper develops a model for evolving wrinkles in a bilayer thin film consisting of an elastic layer and a viscoelastic layer. The elastic layer is subjected to a compressive residual stress and is modeled by the nonlinear von Karman plate theory. A thin-layer approximation is developed for the viscoelastic layer. The stability of the bilayer and the evolution of wrinkles are studied first b...

The wrinkle layer is a dorsal shell structure occurring in a number of ammonoids, but its function is still debated. Here, we describe, from Moroccan material of the Early Carboniferous species Maxigoniatites saourensis (Pareyn, 1961), the most conspicuous wrinkle layer known within the Ammonoidea. This additional shell layer occurs in the ventrolateral portion of the adult body chamber and for...

in recent years, in order to reducing die design and manufacturing costs, multi point forming technique has gained an increasing interest because of its high flexibility. in this process, the conventional fixed shape solid die sets are replaced with a pair of opposite matrices of controllable elements. in this paper, the fundamental principles of multi-point forming was described and the possib...
