we introduce a large-scale HUman-centric GEnerated dataset, HuGe100K. Leveraging the diversity in views, poses, and appearances within HuGe100K, we propose a scalable feed-forward transformer model to predict a 3D human Gaussian representation in a uniform space from a given human image.

We introduce FATE — a novel method for reconstructing an editable full-head avatar from a single monocular video. FATE outperforms previous approaches in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, achieving state-of-the-art performance. To the best of our knowledge, FATE is the first animatable and 360° full-head monocular reconstruction method for a 3D head avatar.

We explore learning a native generative model for 360° full head from limited 3D head data. Three key problems are studied: 1) utilizing various representations for 360°-renderable head generation; 2) disentangling face appearance, shape, and motion for editable and motion-driven 3D head models; 3) enhancing model generalization for downstream tasks.

We propose a novel parametric 360° renderable head model built from artist-designed high-fidelity 3D head models, disentangling facial motion/shape and appearance. The model is the first parametric 3D full-head that achieves 360° free-view synthesis, image-based fitting, appearance editing, and animation within a single model.

We present a novel approach for synthesizing 3D talking heads with controllable emotion, enhancing lip synchronization and rendering quality. To address multi-view consistency and emotional expressiveness issues, we propose a ‘Speech-to-Geometry-to-Appearance’ mapping framework trained on the EmoTalk3D dataset, enabling controllable emotion, wide-range view rendering, and fine facial details.

We propose STAG4D, a novel framework for high-quality 4D generation, integrating pre-trained diffusion models with dynamic 3D Gaussian splatting. Our method outperforms prior 4D generation works in rendering quality, spatial-temporal consistency, and generation robustness, setting a new state-of-the-art for 4D generation from diverse inputs, including text, image, and video.

We introduce a method for animating human images, using the SMPL 3D human parametric model within a latent diffusion framework to improve shape alignment and motion guidance. By incorporating various maps and skeleton-based guidance, we enrich the model with detailed 3D shape and pose attributes, fusing them via a multi-layer motion fusion module with self-attention mechanisms.

We present a novel differentiable point-based rendering framework for material and lighting decomposition from multi-view images, enabling editing, ray-tracing, and real-time relighting of the 3D point cloud. Our framework showcases the potential to revolutionize the mesh-based graphics pipeline with a relightable, traceable, and editable rendering pipeline solely based on point cloud.

We propose a fully differentiable framework named neural ambient illumination (NeAI), which incorporates Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) as a physically-based lighting model to handle complex lighting. Our method integrates physically based rendering into NeRF, utilizing roughness-adaptive specular lobe encoding and precise decomposition via the pre-convoluted background.
