Head Avatars with Dynamic Explicit Hair
Vanessa Sklyarova, Haonan Chen, Berna Kabadayi +8
We present DynHair, a novel method for tracking and modeling dynamic hair for human head avatars. From video input, we reconstruct a dynamic head avatar with an explicit strand-bas…
DAMA: Disentangled Body-Anchored Gaussians for Controllable Multi-Layered Avatars
Daniel Eskandar, Berna Kabadayi, Garvita Tiwari +1
Existing 3D clothed avatar reconstruction methods achieve high visual fidelity but ignore geometric structure and physical plausibility. They either model clothed humans as a singl…
PhysHead: Simulation-Ready Gaussian Head Avatars
Berna Kabadayi, Vanessa Sklyarova, Wojciech Zielonka +2
Realistic digital avatars require expressive and dynamic hair motion; however, most existing head avatar methods assume rigid hair movement. These methods often fail to disentangle…
NeuralFur: Animal Fur Reconstruction From Multi-View Images
Vanessa Sklyarova, Berna Kabadayi, Anastasios Yiannakidis +3
Reconstructing realistic animal fur geometry from images is a challenging task due to the fine-scale details, self-occlusion, and view-dependent appearance of fur. In contrast to h…
Joker: Conditional 3D Head Synthesis with Extreme Facial Expressions
Malte Prinzler, Egor Zakharov, Vanessa Sklyarova +2
We introduce Joker, a new method for the conditional synthesis of 3D human heads with extreme expressions. Given a single reference image of a person, we synthesize a volumetric hu…
