Towards Procedural Generation of Photorealistic Creature Assets

Abstract

This project employs Infinigen to generate a dynamic and realistic model, focusing initially on a tiger to address the challenges of authentic appearance and lifelike motion in quadruped mammals. The four-layer framework encompasses the skeletal foundation, optimized muscles that stretch and compress based on the tiger’s movements, skin pulsating with muscle contractions, and fur that not only mimics the tiger’s actions but also responds to environmental influences. Through this integrated approach, our project aims to push the boundaries of realism in virtual tiger modeling, with applications ranging from animation and simulation to immersive virtual environments.
