TL;DR: Given a portrait image and single or multiple reference images specifying target attributes (e.g., hairstyle, eyeglasses), Durian generates a portrait animation with facial attribute transfer conditioned on a keypoint sequence.

Results

Note that all result videos are complete zero-shot inference results that are not included in the training set, without any additional training/optimization.
We present results of transferring attributes to the portrait while simultaneously animating it according to the facial keypoint video.

Hair Transfer

Hat Transfer

Beard Transfer

Eyeglasses Transfer

Applications

All result videos are complete zero-shot inferences, not included in the training set and without any additional training/optimization, showing the transfer of multiple attributes simultaneously to the portrait or interpolation between attributes.
