Controllable 3D Face Synthesis with Conditional Generative Occupancy Fields
Capitalizing on the recent advances in image generation models, existing
controllable face image synthesis methods are able to generate high-fidelity
images with some levels of controllability, e.g., controlling the shapes,
expressions, textures, and poses of the generated face images. However, these
methods focus on 2D image generative models, which are prone to producing
inconsistent face images under large expression and pose changes. In this
paper, we propose a new NeRF-based conditional 3D face synthesis framework,
which enables 3D controllability over the generated face images by imposing
explicit 3D conditions from 3D face priors. At its core is a conditional
Generative Occupancy Field (cGOF) that effectively enforces the shape of the
generated face to commit to a given 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) mesh. To achieve
accurate control over fine-grained 3D face shapes of the synthesized image, we
additionally incorporate a 3D landmark loss as well as a volume warping loss
into our synthesis algorithm. Experiments validate the effectiveness of the
proposed method, which is able to generate high-fidelity face images and shows
more precise 3D controllability than state-of-the-art 2D-based controllable
face synthesis methods. Find code and demo at
