We present a new approach for video-driven animation of high-quality neural 3D head models, addressing the challenge of person-independent animation from video input.

This paper presents a novel approach for text/speech-driven animation of a photo-realistic head model based on blend-shape geometry, dynamic textures, and neural rendering.

We solve these problems by combining the realism and simplicity of example-based animations with the advantages of neural face models.

Going beyond the application of free-viewpoint volumetric video, we allow re-animation and alteration of an actor's performance through (i) the enrichment of the captured data with semantics and animation properties and (ii) applying hybrid geometry- and video-based animation methods that allow a direct animation of the high-quality data itself instead of creating an animatable model that resembles the captured data.
