Abstract
We present two complementary methodologies to automatically generate 3D surfaces of human bodies including internal bones. The first methodology is a data-driven approach and uses a database of human bodies in conjunction with a learning model synthesizer to create 3D surfaces subject to desired shape and size. In the second methodology, we use medical scanning devices to capture the internal anatomy of the individual and reconstruct 3D surfaces of bones. The final result is an animatable human body including skin external surface as well as the internal skeleton.
