Abstract
Recently, anime-style modeling has become increasingly popular. Automatic anime character generation can reduce costs and save manpower. There have been numerous related studies that need to be summarized and analyzed. This paper presents an overview of anime character face generation. Firstly, it summarizes the types and methods of 2D face generation for anime characters. Secondly, we introduce methods for anime character face modeling, including deep learning-based approaches and other approaches. Finally, we summarize the challenges of anime character face generation and evaluate their performance.
