• Abstract summary: We present SadTalker, which generates 3D motion coefficients (head pose, expression) of the 3DMM from audio. Precisely, we present ExpNet to learn the accurate facial expression from audio by distilling both coefficients and 3D-rendered faces.

• Abstract: Generating talking head videos through a face image and a piece of speech audio still contains many challenges. ie, unnatural head movement, distorted expression, and identity modification. We argue that these issues are mainly because of learning from the coupled 2D motion fields. On the other hand, explicitly using 3D information also suffers problems of stiff expression and incoherent video. We present SadTalker, which generates 3D motion coefficients (head pose, expression) of the 3DMM from audio and implicitly modulates a novel 3D-aware face render for talking head generation. To learn the realistic motion coefficients, we explicitly model the connections between audio and different types of motion coefficients individually. Precisely, we present ExpNet to learn the accurate facial expression from audio by distilling both coefficients and 3D-rendered faces. As for the head pose, we design PoseVAE via a conditional VAE to synthesize head motion in different styles. Finally, the generated 3D motion coefficients are mapped to the unsupervised 3D keypoints space of the proposed face render, and synthesize the final video. We conduct extensive experiments to show the superior of our method in terms of motion and video quality.

  We construct a large-scale multi-modal 3D facial animation dataset, MMHead. MMHead consists of 49 hours of 3D facial motion sequences, speech audios, and rich hierarchical text annotations. Based on the MMHead dataset, we establish benchmarks for two new tasks: text-induced 3D talking head animation and text-to-3D facial motion generation.

  One-shot 3D talking portrait generation aims to reconstruct a 3D avatar from an unseen image, and then animate it with a reference video or audio. We present Real3D-Potrait, a framework that improves the one-shot 3D reconstruction power with a large image-to-plane model. Experiments show that Real3D-Portrait generalizes well to unseen identities and generates more realistic talking portrait videos.

  Given an arbitrary audio clip, audio-driven 3D facial animation aims to generate lifelike lip motions and facial expressions for a 3D head. Existing methods typically rely on training their models using limited public 3D datasets that contain a restricted number of audio-3D scan pairs. We propose a novel method that leverages in-the-wild 2D talking-head videos to train our 3D facial animation model.
