Abstract(in English) In this paper we describe a method for animation 3D representation of faces during speech from 3D kinematic data of orofacial points and reconstructed trajectories of these points by via point analysis. The description includes the basic components of these and the methodology used for configuring and animating faces. The motivation for this analysis is based on previous results where we have shown that much of the speech acoustics can be reliably estimated from the position of a limited set of points located around the lips and over the face. This fact indicates that these same points contain the information necessary to characterize the features of facial motion.
