Abstract
Techniques for generating CG actor performances for use in an animated medium are provided. In one embodiment, a computer system can receive (1) a textual script of a scene in which a CG actor appears, and (2) a style guide for the CG actor that includes information regarding personality traits and physical mannerisms of the CG actor. The computer system can then automatically generate a performance for the CG actor based on the textual script and the style guide.
