3D Character for "FriendAI World" Mobile App
FriendAI World is an interactive mobile application where users interact with a personal AI companion in real time.
This character was developed and heavily optimized specifically for Real-Time engines, ensuring high performance, smooth visual quality, and minimal battery consumption on mobile devices.
Technical Specifications
1. Real-Time Optimization (Low-Poly Pipeline):
Topology: Clean, quad-based topology engineered for flawless deformation during animation.
Polycount: Optimized mesh density ensuring stable performance on both iOS and Android platforms.
Baking: High-to-low poly baked texture maps (Normal, Ambient Occlusion) to retain high visual detail while maintaining efficiency.
2. Textures & Materials:
PBR Workflow: 2K resolution textures.
Texture Maps: Base Color, Normal, Roughness, Metallic, Emissive.
Shading: Tuned shaders for realistic real-time lighting interaction within the game engine.
Facial Animation & Expression System (Blendshapes / Morph Targets)
To achieve a natural and expressive interaction between the AI character and the user, a comprehensive Blendshapes / Morph Targets setup was developed:
Facial Expressions: Full set of micro-expressions (joy, surprise, thoughtfulness, sadness, smile, etc.) fully compatible with facial tracking and lip-sync systems (Apple ARKit / Visemes).
Oral Cavity Morphs: Dedicated teeth and tongue morphs for precise mouth animation and lip-syncing during AI voice output.
Rigging & Animation
Rigging:
Standardized humanoid rig with intuitive controllers for seamless animation.
Clean skin weights (Skinning) applied without volume loss or artifacts during extreme poses.
Animation Pack:
Idle State: Natural breathing, blinking, and looking-around cycles that keep the character feeling "alive" while listening.
Talking State: Expressive hand gestures, head tilts, and emotional accents synchronized with responses.
