APPROACH FOR VISUALIZATION OF FACE MUSCLES EXERCISES

Анотація

Today, IT technologies not only allow to collect, process, store information, but also to demonstrate it in the interests of users. One of the way of information presentation is computer graphics. With the help of computer graphics, it is possible to visualize what cannot be seen in real life: to look, even to touch things that were previously presented only in illustrations.

            Today there are a large number of programs, applications, Internet resources, digital atlases and videos, which present complex mechanisms, natural phenomena, human anatomy, exercise and more. From the point of view of digital visualization, the sphere of face building is not very developed sphere. Exercises are presented by pictures, or by real videos that do not show the muscle, which had been used. It should be noted that understanding the internal distribution of effort on the relevant muscles during exercise leads to better results and helps to avoid mistakes. This work is devoted to the development of a 3D demonstration method of facial muscles exercise with visualization at the anatomical level of certain muscle groups.

            The paper also provides a general scheme of 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, animation and visualization to create a basic model of a facebuilding instructor using software packages such as Autodesk Maya, Zbrush, Adobe Photoshop. The basic exercises were face building’s exercises, which were developed by the cosmetologist. On the basis of the developed model, of the visualization approach, of doctor beautician recommendations demonstration videos of physical exercises of face building by means of Sony Vegas Pro taking into account audio support were created. It was decided that the initial shots would demonstrate the model execution of an exercises with a realistic texture. Next, the camera was flown over the model and the material of the model was changed, namely the girl's model was take on a matte white color, and some muscles were highlighted in red. This change of materials allowed for a clearer presentation of the exercises. The resulting videos can be used in medical practice and cosmetology to demonstrate the exercises of the neck and face muscles.
