009ed46f9c44 | 9631D2A1BB2C | First the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles.

0602c3ff39ef | 9631D2A1BB2C | Yet Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code. | Evidence | Ineffective |
