PyTorch implementation for NED (CVPR 2022). It can be used to manipulate the facial emotions of actors in videos based on emotion labels or reference styles.

About training a new neural face renderer of a new actor and the results. #4

Hello, I used a new actor video and I trained a new neural face renderer, but the mouth of the generated mp4 video is blurred and cannot be overlapped with the original. Is this related to the video I used of Asians or something wrong with my testing or models? In addition, could you give me your email? I can't open the email link in github and I want to contact you to apply the training/test videos used in the experiments, thanks a lot.

Hi, If the blurred mouth appears on specific target emotions it may be that the training video is not long enough, or has not enough expression variability to properly fine-tune the model on. Otherwise, you could check whether the 3D reconstruction for the training video has failed by looking at the nmfc or shape images (although this rarely happens).
