Animate anime characters from a single image using deep learning.
The Talking Head Anime from a Single Image demo allows users to bring static anime illustrations to life. Given a single character image, the system predicts a 3D head model and facial expression parameters, then renders the character with realistic head movements and lip-sync. It leverages convolutional neural networks and differentiable rendering to achieve this end-to-end. The demo includes pre-trained models and a simple interface for interactive animation. Technical highlights: single-image 3D face reconstruction tailored for anime style, real-time performance on consumer GPUs, and support for user-provided images. The code is written in Python using PyTorch, with optional CUDA acceleration. The project was created by pkhungurn and has garnered significant community interest (2000+ stars).
