HeadLighter: Disentangling Illumination in Generative 3D Gaussian Heads via Lightstage Captures
Yating Wang, Yuan Sun, Xuan Wang +6
Recent 3D-aware head generative models based on 3D Gaussian Splatting achieve real-time, photorealistic and view-consistent head synthesis. However, a fundamental limitation persis…
