3D Face Synthesis Driven by Personality Impression [PDF]
Synthesizing 3D faces that give certain personality impressions is commonly needed in computer games, animations, and virtual world applications for producing realistic virtual characters. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to synthesize 3D faces based on personality impression for creating virtual characters. Our approach consists of two major

Jacutingaite-family: a class of topological materials [PDF]
Jacutingate, a recently discovered Brazilian naturally occurring mineral, has shown to be the first experimental realization of the Kane-Mele topological model. In this letter we have unveiled a class of materials $M_2NX_3$ ($M$=Ni, Pt, Pd; $N$=Zn, Cd, Hg; and $X$=S, Se, Te), sharing jacutingaite's key features, i.e., high stability, and topological ...
