Abstract:
The system and method for generating a virtual character functions to enable an interface for creating and managing simulated personas that can contextually respond to stimuli. The responses of the virtual character can be set to reflect a particular type of persona. Furthermore, the virtual characters can be driven using the system and method so as to express realistic and responsive representations of a character's thoughts, emotions, and moods. The system and method preferably enable one or more users to provide input that configures and defines a set of operating parameters for a virtual character. The system and method can apply that configuration to drive character actions and behavior within one or more media format.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for generating a virtual character comprising the steps of:\n defining a set of default virtual character attributes comprising a plurality of personality attributes, wherein each personality attribute is assigned a numerical value; defining one or more gesture sets, wherein each gesture set comprises one or more visual actions comprising a rigging specification and performed by the virtual character; defining a set of verbal traits comprising one or more scripted response phrases and vocalization response properties; and defining a set of physical attributes; receiving persona stimulus input comprising audio and visual input from a user; selecting a spoken response to the persona stimulus input; modulating the speaking rate, tone, and volume of the spoken response in accordance with the defined virtual character attributes, gesture sets, verbal traits, and physical attributes; playing the spoken response as audio; and generating one or more rigging animations and animating the virtual character with the one or more rigging animations in accordance with the defined virtual character attributes, gesture sets, verbal traits, and physical attributes.
