$📢Announcing our 3D head avatar benchmark📢 Two tasks with hidden test sets: - Dynamic Novel View Synthesis on Heads - Monocular FLAME-driven Head Avatar Reconstruction Our goal is to make research on 3D head avatars more comparable and ultimately increase the realism of digital humans. The benchmark studies distinct phenomena of 3D head avatar creation, such as extreme facial expressions, slow motion captures of shaking long hair, or complicated light reflection and refraction patterns of glasses. The two benchmark tasks assess two core desiderata of 3D avatars: While the novel view synthesis challenge focuses on best possible rendering quality of complex moving scenes, the avatar animation challenge is concerned with how well a driving signal is translated into an avatar. Evaluations are light-weight and consist of diverse video recordings from the popular NeRSemble dataset with a hidden test set. Participation in the benchmark is therefore straight-forward and requires only 5 reconstructions per task. Leaderboard and benchmark submission: Benchmark data access and toolkit: Great work by Tobias Kirschstein Simon Giebenhain$

As announced in partnership with NVIDIA at CES, we’re excited to introduce Stable Point Aware 3D (SPAR3D), setting a new standard in 3D generation. Ideal for running on NVIDIA RTX AI PCs, SPAR3D enables real-time editing and complete structure generation of 3D objects from a single image in under a second. You can download the weights on Hugging Face and code on GitHub, or access the model through the Stability AI API. Learn more here: (1/3)

📢Pix2NPHM: Learning to Regress NPHM Reconstructions From a Single Image📢 We directly regress neural parametric head models (NPHMs) from a single image — fast, stable, and significantly more expressive than classical 3DMMs such as FLAME. Face tracking & 3D reconstruction are often limited by the representational capacity of PCA-based face models. By lifting NPHMs to a first-class reconstruction primitive, we enable more accurate geometry, richer expressions, and finer animation control. Pix2NPHM obtains fast and reliable NPHM reconstructions on real-world data. Inference-time optimization against surface normals and canonical point maps can further increase fidelity. Key to successful and generalized training of our ViT-based network are: (1) large-scale registration of existing 3D head datasets, and (2) self-supervised training on vast in-the-wild 2D video datasets using pseudo ground-truth surface normals. Finally, we show that geometry-aware pretraining on pixel-aligned reconstruction tasks significantly outperforms generic visual pretraining (e.g., DINO-style features) in terms of generalization. 🌍 🎥 Great work by Simon Giebenhain, Tobias Kirschstein, Liam Schoneveld, Davide Davoli, Zhe Chen

I've recreated the 2026 Thomas face design in 3D. I modeled the engine based off of the toy proportions and animated it. I wanted to see if the face expression and toy shape is what made it look bad Turns out it's actually not that bad, a cartoony face leads to more expression!

Gaussian Head Avatar: Ultra High-fidelity Head Avatar via Dynamic Gaussians paper page: Creating high-fidelity 3D head avatars has always been a research hotspot, but there remains a great challenge under lightweight sparse view setups. In this paper, we propose Gaussian Head Avatar represented by controllable 3D Gaussians for high-fidelity head avatar modeling. We optimize the neutral 3D Gaussians and a fully learned MLP-based deformation field to capture complex expressions. The two parts benefit each other, thereby our method can model fine-grained dynamic details while ensuring expression accuracy. Furthermore, we devise a well-designed geometry-guided initialization strategy based on implicit SDF and Deep Marching Tetrahedra for the stability and convergence of the training procedure. Experiments show our approach outperforms other state-of-the-art sparse-view methods, achieving ultra high-fidelity rendering quality at 2K resolution even under exaggerated expressions.

We’ve prepared a new example showing how to create billboarding in your games! 🌲 It includes two modes: - always face the camera - like the smoke ☁️ - lock rotation to a vertical axis - trees and rocks🌲🪨 We combined here 3D models by Kay 🎨 and 2D screenshots of 3D models by Kenney for trees and rocks! Since Defold 1.12.3, custom vertex formats and improved local-space vertices have made proper billboarding much easier in Defold. #MadeWithDefold #vfx #rendering #gameengine #3D #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Bad at drawing different types of faces? With Clip Studio Paint's 3D head model, you can adjust parts like the face shape and eyes, or even change the angle. It's a great help when you want to draw a face shape you're unfamiliar with, or when you want to draw the same face repeatedly. For more information here ↓ #clipstudio
