ABSTRACT

This study presents an intuitive and efficient sketch-based system for generating realistic facial wrinkles by leveraging kernel-based skin-muscle modeling. Motivated by the need for accessible yet expressive wrinkle creation tools in digital character design, the proposed method allows users to draw simple sketches on a facial model's normal map using a tablet. The system interprets these strokes in real time, reflecting underlying skin textures and region-specific wrinkle patterns. A user-defined age parameter further controls the depth and density of wrinkles, enabling automatic adjustment across a wide age spectrum. Experimental results demonstrate that even users without prior knowledge in 3D modeling can create natural-looking, age-aware wrinkles with minimal input. Compared to traditional approaches, our method improves usability, visual fidelity, and computational efficiency. Future work will explore integration with dynamic facial expressions and adaptation to diverse skin types for broader applicability in animation and interactive media.
