What is talking-head-anime-3-demo?

talking-head-anime-3-demo provides demo programs for animating anime characters using a single image. This open-source project allows users to manipulate a character's facial expression, head rotation, body rotation, and chest expansion through a graphical user interface. Additionally, it supports transferring real-time facial motion from an iOS device to an anime character. The tool requires a powerful Nvidia GPU and specific software environments (Python, PyTorch, etc.) to run. It's designed for users interested in AI-driven animation, offering different neural network variants that balance size, speed, and accuracy. The project is released under an MIT license for the code and Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License for the models.

Best used for

Ideal for animators and researchers who need to bring static anime characters to life with dynamic movements and expressions. Especially valuable for creating virtual YouTubers (VTubers) or for academic exploration into AI-driven character animation and motion transfer from a single image.

FAQs

What hardware is required to run talking-head-anime-3-demo?

The demo programs require a recent and powerful Nvidia GPU, such as an RTX 2080, RTX 3080, or better. For facial motion transfer, an iOS device with a TrueDepth front-facing camera (iPhone X or newer) running iOS 11.0 or higher is also necessary.

What are the software requirements for setting up the environment?

You need Python >= 3.8, PyTorch >= 1.11.0 with CUDA support, SciPY >= 1.7.3, wxPython >= 4.1.1, and Matplotlib >= 3.5.1. Anaconda is recommended for environment setup, and specific commands are provided for installation.

Can I use Python 3.10 on Windows for this project?

No, as of June 2006, wxPython is not compatible with Python 3.10 on Windows. It is advised to use Python 3.8 or another compatible version until this issue is resolved to ensure proper functionality of the demo programs.

What are the constraints for input images?

Input images must be 512x512 pixels, have an alpha channel, contain only one upright, forward-facing humanoid character, with hands below the head. The character's head should be roughly in the middle 128x128 box of the top half, and background pixels must have an alpha of 0.

Are the models included with the code, and what is their license?

No, the model files need to be downloaded separately from a Dropbox link and placed in the data/models folder. The models are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, allowing commercial use with attribution.
