Creating 3D avatars from artistic drawing for VR and games applications

We started with an artistic rendering of face, and created a 3Dimensional mesh of the face which can be used in Games, Media, and Virtual Reality applications. We used freely available software called Blender™ to create a 3D mesh which resembles the original 2Dimensional drawing. This paper explains how the 3D face was created, and our efforts in finding just the right effect to create 3D Mesh, closely resembling the avatar of our imagination.
