This thesis presents a system by which 3D images of human faces can be constructed
using a natural language interface. The driving force behind the project was the need to
create a system whereby a machine could produce artistic images from verbal or
composed descriptions. This research is the first to look at constructing and modifying
facial image artwork using a natural language interface.
Specialised modules have been developed to control geometry of 3D polygonal head
models in a commercial modeller from natural language descriptions. These modules
were produced from research on human physiognomy, 3D modelling techniques and
tools, facial modelling and natural language processing. [Continues.
