Facebook’s Prototype Photoreal Avatars No Longer Require Face Tracking
https://youtu.be/OK_BIQPiCEk
https://uploadvr.com/frl-codec-avatars-without-face-tracking/

Training the model requires a multi-camera 3D capture setup with 45 minutes of unique data for each test user. When first shown in 2018, Codec Avatars were described by Facebook as “years away”. While this new research makes the hardware needed to drive avatars more practical, it still doesn’t solve the core issues of generating the avatar in the first place.

FaceScape: a Large-scale High Quality 3D Face Dataset and Detailed Riggable 3D Face Prediction
- github
- paper
- project site
- Model example

Features
1. Topologically uniformed.
The geometric models of different identities and different expressions share the same mesh topology, which makes the features on faces easy to be aligned. This also helps in building a 3D morphable model.
2. Displacement map + base mesh.
3. 20 specific expressions.
4. High resolution.
The texture maps and displacement maps reach 4K resolution, which preserving maximum detailed texture and geometry.

3DGV is a virtual seminar series on Geometry Processing and 3D Computer Vision. Seminars take place every Wednesday, cycling through three different time zones (Europe, America, and Asia). We show seminar hours in six different time zones in the following table.

У последних мне очень понравилась вот эта лекция, которая является неплохим введением в тему 3D DL, а также освещает наиболее значимые работы в классификации, сегментации и генерации 3д объектов.

UPD:
не все так плохо, из исходников все можно собрать.

Полезные два сайта для всех, кто интересуется темой AI + искусство
1. https://creative-ai.org - здесь вы найдете большое количество сервисов, доступных для использования без навыков ML
2. https://aiartists.org - большое коммьюнити AI художников для вдохновения

Art Machines 2: International Symposium on Machine Learning and Art 2021 will take place from 10th-13th June 2021 at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong.
Art Machines 2 will bring together Academics, Artists and Professionals in the field of Computational Media Art in a four-day symposium on the topic of Machine Learning and Art. This agenda-setting Symposium will provide an opportunity for in depth reflection upon the assessment of the impact of Machine Learning on Artistic Media, as well as to reflect on the conditions of existence, range, futures and social significance of computationally based art and media more generally. In addition to the academic keynotes, panels and discussion forums, the symposium will include a curated exhibition of artworks and a student salon.
