3D morphable model face animation
I hate blogs where they post a single video clip and expect the viewer to just watch with little to no idea of what they’re about to watch. You’re just expected to give up a few minutes of your life by trusting that you have the same sense of humor or intrigue as the offer. I’m going to be better than 99% of the blogs out there and going to describe for you what you’ll be watching if you decide to click play on the video below.
A research lab in Germany has developed a software engine that, after taking 200 3D scans of human faces, can scan a single 2D picture or photograph, and will generate a very realistic 3D model which can be used to synthesize the movement of the face for speech or expression changes. It is remarkably realistic, and I can’t wait to see it’s application in movies and other moving mediums.
