FLAME alternatives

[EvdoTheo]

Hello, i would like to start a conversation about any FLAME alternatives. Are there any better ways to create a 3DMM except FLAME?

There is no single model or model formulation that is best for all applications. Different applications have different requirements, such as detailed meshes with wrinkle- and pore-level details, teeth and tongue geometry, hair, or realistic textures.

One example of such a model is FLAME. FLAME is designed to be lightweight due to its low poly count and its model formulation, which combines simple affine transformations to capture identity and expression shape variations with linear blend skinning (LBS) for head pose and jaw rotations. FLAME is publicly available and compatible with the expressive body model SMPL-X. Several 3D datasets are available in FLAME mesh topology, and a significant amount of public infrastructure has been built around FLAME. The purpose of this repository is to collect such public FLAME-based resources and it demonstrates what applications are actually possible with a model like FLAME.
