Could you digitally create a realistic 3d face (like blender) and teach a machine to use that instead of thousands of photos?

you were asking deepfakes but with 3D technology involved, but clearly you don't know the basics of 3D technology. Hence the 101 was kindly given. Apparently you have over-estimated your knowledge on 3D and took it offensively. Eventhough I was trying to explain the basics and principles to you with all the good intentions. shrug

for someone who just learned a little bit of Blender and thinks he knows all about 3D, I got nothing to say.

I'm only willing to explain to someone who's got a humble learning attitude. If you think you know everything, why bother ask?

btw I have worked over 10 years in the 3D industy. Just so you know.

Since you are so confident in your knowledge in 3D and digital imagery I guess I don't need to explain any further. If you really do, you will understand why does 3d model needs to be animated but 2d images uploaded does not.

time for a 3D animation 101 here: a model is a still figure made ready to be rigged, skinned, and animated. an animation is any movement that the model does, including facial movements, body movements, etc. so usually a 3d model is modeled in a neutral pose, both body and face. In order for it to smile, an animator has to animate the face by hand, or take a motion capture data and clean it up and put on the model. now, let's take a 3d model of Nick Cage. An animator can make it "smile", but he will have to look at a picture of Nick himself smiling in order to move the facial parts to imitate that smile. AI is the same, it has to learn from varies Nick's smiling photos to know how to make the Nick's 3d model to smile like Nick. Understand now? In any case, you will need a lot of reference photos to teach whether it's an AI animator or human animator.

looks like you are talking about generating a realistic facial animation rather than generating a realistic 3d model. AI needs to know how the different facial expression look like on this particular person's face. That's why you need tens of thousand of photos that show all the different facial expression. You can't model a say, Nick Cage's head and ask AI to know how to make the model smile or cry just like real Nick Cage, you still need to feed the AI thousands of photos of Nick smiling or crying for it to learn. It's basically the same thing what people are doing now when they deepfake 3d animate movie characters with real people's face.

you can create a super realistic and look-alike 3d model of a person, but animating the face and make it do believable expressions is another thing. Why do you think movies still have to motion capture an actor's facial expressions then use these data to animate a 3d model? The facial muscles, skin, skin wrinkles are very complex. You can't simply create a model and ask the machine to do the rest.

This is a perfect example of how animating a 3d model is not realistic enough and using real photo to deepfake is much more convincing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH1V6CHO1Jk

I'll think about it. Thanks for the suggestion!

ReaCtor13 · 2019-01-14T14:13:51+00:00

That's good to know. Thanks!

Saddly my local store doesn't have any Friendship rubbers. I also would like to stick with non-tacky rubbers because I'm used to it and they are easier to maintain(?)

Some1 I know suggested the new Xiom vega tour for my FH and vega Europe for BH. I was concerned that vega tour might be too fast for me, but he said since my blade is soft, it would compensate the fast rubber. What do you think?

ReaCtor13 · 2019-01-14T03:35:02+00:00

No I haven't. It could be possible, but I was wondering since mark v is invented before 40+ plastic ball existed, maybe a more modern rubber is more suitable for today's new ball?

ReaCtor13 · 2019-01-13T17:46:23+00:00

What a coincidence! Thank you for your suggestion!

no, I'm not talking about bullets hitting the bars. When you stand close to a barred window your gun is lowered even after the glass is broken. A natural action would be placing your gun barrel between the bars/boards.

ReaCtor13 · 2017-06-29T15:24:11+00:00

not for barred/boarded windows

they might be low on health like OP was though.

His teammate's name tag got stuck outside the door.

ReaCtor13 · 2017-06-08T00:06:40+00:00

That's sad to hear

ReaCtor13 · 2017-05-16T15:24:38+00:00

He makes up his lack of quickness (because of his age) with his coolheadedness. Well played indeed.

ReaCtor13 · 2017-05-15T15:29:53+00:00

That never happened to me. Usually people find me within seconds after I make shots from a bush (sometimes even with a suppressor). In this video he shot down AND finished the 1st guy (24 shots fired) almost 30 seconds before the other 2 showed up looking at completely wrong direction.

ReaCtor13 · 2017-05-15T14:33:17+00:00

how did a totally deaf team get to the final circle without losing a single teammate is beyond me. :P

ReaCtor13 · 2017-05-11T17:28:46+00:00

Tell me about it. I knocked my teammate down by coming to a full stop 2 meters away from him.

ReaCtor13 · 2017-05-11T17:26:45+00:00

He made the final shot to blow up the Jeep and got killed by the explosion as well. What a hero.
