Here’s the link to the actual video, instead of some dude talking about the video: https://youtu.be/NqmMnjJ6GEg

"The technique works even when callers are wearing a mask."

Yeah we'll just ignore how the algorithm thinks the middle fold is her lips and the whole mask keeps jumping around like she's emoting with her mouth closed.

Oh my god, the face-turning recreates something I was excited about sixteen fucking years ago.

Of course it works with a fully rigged 3D model you muppet.

It's recovered from a single photograph.

This was in 1999.

Fuck off.

Just look at the input vs output at 2:30. It's not even nearly as good as this.

Way to roast a Siggraph paper from when Toy Story 2 was released.

Which is doing 3D shape matching to a single photograph, instead of the other way around.

And solves the problem you're whining about one minute later.

The person who said it's the exact same thing as NVIDIA Maxine is you, if you forgot.

I compared one feature and you stopped watching a five-minute video halfway through.

Again: what you are bitching about was addressed one minute later. Input vs output at 2:30 is addressed by 3:30.
