🤯 What Was Once Sci-Fi is Now Reality! ⚠️ WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT: Don't play until the end to avoid graphic content from The Running Man film. This is SPARK, a brand-new AI model that can create 3D face reconstructions from multiple, unconstrained portrait videos and enable real-time tracking on unseen footage. It’s the result of a collaboration between Technicolor, Inria, and the Max Planck Institute. SPARK allows the creation of a relightable face avatar from multiple monocular videos—bringing sci-fi-like technology into the real world. What makes SPARK truly special is its precise face tracking, which can be used for face editing and visual effects IN REAL-TIME! Tasks that would typically require manual 3D modeling or complex scanning sessions of actors can now be automated! 🔝 This technology opens up endless possibilities in professional fields like FX, virtual production, 3D modeling, and gaming, but is not exempt of many ethical concerns. 🚩 This time, the potential for misuse, especially in altering real-time footage for fake news and deep fakes, is completely real in the wrong hands. ⚠️ As a fan of sci-fi and dystopian films, many of them have warned us about its risks. I specially remember "The Running Man", where they faked the death of Ben Richards by overlaying his face in real time with what the called "Digital Matte Tracking" 📌 Link to the model paper and samples in comments!

The Walk-in tracking from video to Blender #Villa #animation #tracking #CGI

This is my 2nd VFX work. Leant a lot about compositing, custom camera tracking, Optimizing render and a lot. Scene taken from random youtube vid 3D models from blendekit Hopefully its good enough xD

A look at Meta's wrist-worn neural finger-tracking prototype 🤙 What if you could interact with various apps and type messages with just a thought without scary brain surgeries? Mark Zuckerberg's team presented a demo of a new prototype and noted that Meta is "close to having something here, to having a product in the next few years."

This is my first VFX shot. For camera tracking - After Effects Composition - Blender HDRI - Created by me of my room Model - K-2SO head Created by me (Tutorial courtesy - MARWAN PAINTER ) Engine - Cycle (sample - 100) It took me around 7 Hrs to render. Sorry about the actual video footage being too low quality. Hopefully next time I can pull off a industry standard quality VFX.
