Abstract
Creation of new synthetic actors is a tedious and painful task. The situation may be improved by introducing tools for the creation. Three approaches are discussed in this paper: modification and edition of an existing synthetic actor using local transformations; generation of new synthetic actors obtained by interpolation between two existing actors; creation of a synthetic actor by composition of different parts. Animation of synthetic actors is also discussed.
