🤯 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!

- Contrasting future, a scenario where human life is degraded with images of dryness - shallow land, and polluted water sources, dust and smoke everywhere. That song is a development of "some people (AI?)" with images of floating spaceships - as well as buildings floating in the air, creating a sense of social stratification. #3df #conceptartwork #art3d #3dart #3dartwork #3d #blender #3dblender #dystopia #sci #scifi #scifiart #scifi3d #urban #urbandecay #urbandecayartist
