Expressive Whole-Body 3D Gaussian Avatar (ECCV 2024)

Project Page | Paper | Video

• This is an reimplmentation of Expressive Whole-Body 3D Gaussian Avatar (ECCV 2024) by the first author after leaving Meta. All the code use public assets without any Meta's internal-only modules. All the results in the camera-ready version and demo videos in the website are from this reimplmented code.
• ExAvatar is designed as a combination of 1) whole-body (body, hands, and face) drivability of SMPL-X and 2) strong appearance modeling capability of 3DGS.

Yes, it's me, Gyeongsik in the video :), taken in front of my apartment with my mobile phone. For more high-resolution demo videos, please visit our website.
