• Abstract: In recent years, there has been significant progress in 2D generative face models fueled by applications such as animation, synthetic data generation, and digital avatars. However, due to the absence of 3D information, these 2D models often struggle to accurately disentangle facial attributes like pose, expression, and illumination, limiting their editing capabilities. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a 3D controllable generative face model to produce high-quality albedo and precise 3D shape leveraging existing 2D generative models. By combining 2D face generative models with semantic face manipulation, this method enables editing of detailed 3D rendered faces. The proposed framework utilizes an alternating descent optimization approach over shape and albedo. Differentiable rendering is used to train high-quality shapes and albedo without 3D supervision. Moreover, this approach outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods in the well-known NoW benchmark for shape reconstruction. It also outperforms the SOTA reconstruction models in recovering rendered faces' identities across novel poses by an average of 10%. Additionally, the paper demonstrates direct control of expressions in 3D faces by exploiting latent space leading to text-based editing of 3D faces.

  We present a new framework Sculpt3D that equips the current pipeline with explicit injection of 3D priors from retrieved reference objects without re-training the 2D diffusion model. Specifically, we demonstrate that high-quality and diverse 3D geometry can be guaranteed by keypoints supervision through a sparse ray sampling approach. These two decoupled designs effectively harness 3D information from reference objects to generate 3D objects while preserving the generation quality of the 2D diffusion model.

  We present a method to generate a large-scale synthesised dataset of 250K photorealistic images and their corresponding shape parameters and depth maps, which we call SynthFace. Our synthesis method conditions Stable Diffusion on depth maps sampled from the FLAME 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) of the human face, allowing us to generate a diverse set of shape-consistent facial images that is designed to be balanced in race and gender. We propose ControlFace, a deep neural network, trained on SynthFace, which achieves competitive performance on the NoW benchmark, without requiring 3D supervision or manual 3D asset creation.

  We propose a new conditional 3D face synthesis framework, which enables 3D controllability over generated face images. At its core is a conditional Generative Occupancy Field (cGOF++) that effectively enforces the shape of the generated face to conform to a given 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) mesh. Experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed method and show more precise 3D controllability than state-of-the-art 2D-based controllable face synthesis methods.

  3D-aware generative adversarial networks (GANs) synthesize high-fidelity and multi-view-consistent facial images using only collections of single-view 2D imagery. Recent efforts incorporate 3D Morphable Face Model (3DMM) to describe deformation in generative radiance fields either explicitly or implicitly. We propose a novel 3D GAN framework for unsupervised learning of generative, high-quality and 3D-consistent facial avatars from unstructured 2D images.
