Abstract
Human mental state is related to outer stimuli and inner cognitive appraisal, and it mainly includes emotion, motivation, personality and social norm. Modeling mental state of virtual humans is very important in many fields. Simulating virtual humans with mental state is a challenging branch of computer animation, where virtual humans are regarded as agents with sense, perception, emotion, personality, motivation, behavior and action. 3D virtual humans are constructed with sensors for perceiving external stimuli and are able to express emotions autonomously. Mental state-based animation is demonstrated in a prototype system.
