Face Animator AI (GAN)

GAN deep learning model to use AI generated faces from /gan_facegenerator, turns them into cartoon characters, and animates them.

Functionality

This network was built to run off my previous Face Generator neural network which generates artifical images of faces. These faces are then converted into cartoon-style graphics using latent vector projection and animated using the first order animation model.

Demo Face Cartoon/Animation

Test This Network

You can test this program easily in my Colab instance.

1. Open a Google Colab.
2. Paste each cell into a new code cell.
3. Edit -> Notebook Settings -> Hardware Accelerator: GPU.
4. Run first cell.
5. Setup data: Place your source face image you want to animate in stylegan2/raw directory - name it raw_face.jpg. Place your source animation video in the top level file directory in the left-side menu.
6. Run the cell.
