In this paper, we propose a method of generating individual facial models based on a generic facial model with not only a skin model but also additional data such as skull model, facial expression muscle model, etc. When the generic facial model is transformed into individual facial models by GFFD (Generalized Free-Form Deformation), not only skin model but also additional data are automatically altered into a suitable state for individual faces at the same time. By using this method, we can easily do a simulation of facial expression or hairstyle without making additional data for each individual facial model.
