4D Face Model

The 4D Face Model (4DFM) is a 3D Morphable Model of human faces. It models shape variations of the population across ethnicities, age and gender. Our model is created from hundreds of physically accurate 3D scans of human faces. On top of inter-personal variations, the model is able to express and generate a variety of expressions like lip movements or emotions like surprise or anger.

The 4DFM is the perfect technology to drive applications in augmented or virtual reality (AR/VR), games, films, or health care.

Highlights

  • Morphable Model, captured from real human 3D face scans

  • 36 expressions and facial action units

The 4DFM comes in two different resolution (subdivision) levels, and with an uv embedding.

The 4DFM is created in close collaboration with the School of Dentistry of the University of Leeds, UK.
