Scene #05: Cartoonish Avatar Sample

Supported pipelines

Avatar SDK plugin allows to generate avatars with the "cartoonish" effect. See the sample of such models for different pipelines.

Styled face

It is the subtype of the Animated Face pipeline that was introduced for cartoonish avatars generation.
The "cartoonish" effect comprises the avatar's geometry modification and applying additional texture. There are two type of textures for the Styled Face: Slightly Cartoonish Texture and Cartoonish Texture.

Styled Face avatar with Slightly Cartoonish Texture

Styled Face avatar with Cartoonish Texture

Use the following parameters to generate "cartoonish" avatar of the Styled Face pipeline.

private void ConfigureParametersForStyledFace(ComputationParameters computationParameters)
{
    computationParameters.avatarModifications = new AvatarModificationsGroup();
    // Use artificial eyes texture
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.parametricEyesTexture.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.addEyelidShadow.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.addGlare.Value = true;
    
    // Make the thinner neck
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.allowModifyNeck.Value = true;

    // Specify the level of the mesh geometry modification in range [0..1] 
    computationParameters.shapeModifications.cartoonishV03.Value = 1.0f;

    // Request cartoonish texture to be generated
    computationParameters.additionalTextures.AddValue("base/slightly_cartoonish_texture");
    computationParameters.additionalTextures.AddValue("plus/cartoonish_texture");
}

Head 1.2

The "cartoonish" effect for these type of avatars can be achieved by requesting the Slightly Cartoonish Texture and geometry modification.

Head 1.2 cartoonish avatar

Use the following parameters to generate Head 1.2 avatar with the "cartoonish" effect.

private void ConfigureParametersForHead12(ComputationParameters computationParameters)
{
    computationParameters.avatarModifications = new AvatarModificationsGroup();
    // Enable slightly cartoonish texture
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.slightlyCartoonishTexture.Value = true;
    
    // Use artificial eyes
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.parametricEyesTexture.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.addEyelidShadow.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.addGlare.Value = true;

    // Specify the level of the mesh geometry modification in range [0..1] 
    computationParameters.shapeModifications.cartoonishV1.Value = 1.0f;
}

Head 2.0

The "cartoonish" effect for the head/mobile subtype can be achieved by requesting the Slightly Cartoonish Texture and geometry modification.
The bust/mobile subtype doesn't support geometry modification.

Head 2.0 pipeline head/mobile subtype

Head 2.0 pipeline bust/mobile subtype

Use the following parameters to generate Head 2.0 avatars with the "cartoonish" effect.

private void ConfigureParametersForHead20_HeadMobile(ComputationParameters computationParameters)
{
    computationParameters.avatarModifications = new AvatarModificationsGroup();
    // Enable slightly cartoonish texture
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.slightlyCartoonishTexture.Value = true;
    
    // Use artificial eyes
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.parametricEyesTexture.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.addEyelidShadow.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.addGlare.Value = true;
    
    // Specify the level of the mesh geometry modification in range [0..1] 
    float cartoonishValue = 0.5f;
    computationParameters.shapeModifications.cartoonishV1.Value = cartoonishValue;
}

private void ConfigureParametersForHead20_BustMobile(ComputationParameters computationParameters)
{
    computationParameters.avatarModifications = new AvatarModificationsGroup();
    // Enable slightly cartoonish texture
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.slightlyCartoonishTexture.Value = true;
    
    // Use artificial eyes
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.parametricEyesTexture.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.addEyelidShadow.Value = true;
    computationParameters.avatarModifications.addGlare.Value = true;
}
