BiographyThanks sincerely for viewing my CV. I’m Zhihao Liu, currently working at the Game AI Research Center, Tencent.My research topic during my Masters is about building creative systems for interactive computer graphics, withthe aid of deep learning (AI) and virtual reality (VR) techniques. Besides, I’m greatly interested in making noveluser interfaces (HCI) for design, visualization and any other relative stu�s!

Other Researches1. Facial motion capture for video games. 2021(Member) This’s what we’re currently doing at Tencent. We intend to develop a set ofeasy-to-use tools for facial motion capture by utilizing the power of both AI and CGtechnologies, to reduce the workload of artists while producing facial animations forvideo games.

2. Relation network for machine graphical perception. 2020(Main implementer) This work was originally submi�ed to IEEE VIS 2020 when I vis-ited Shandong University. I was then advised by Prof. Yunhai Wang. We devised anovel relation neural network for machine graphical perception task in visualization.But it’s a pity that this work was not got into the conference.

Selected Personal Projects1. Sketch-based plant modeling system. 2016This system was my a�empt to reproduce the basic functions of a Eurographics (EG)article [2] using OpenGL. It enables the users to create 3D plant models interactivelythrough only sketching several 2D skeleton strokes.

2. LowPoly-style image creator. 2018This system provides e�ective tools for generating low poly rendering of images, whichis particularly popular in the recent art design community. The algorithm refers to ajournal paper [1] published at the Visual Computer (TVC).

3. Non-Photorealistic Rendering for 3D scenes. 2016I a�empted to implement several Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR) e�ects usingC++ and OpenGL, including pencil, ink-wash rendering, etc., with reference to a pop-ular book titled Real-time rendering.
