Given audio input expressing different emotions, EmoTalk produces realistic 3D facial animation sequences with corresponding emotional expressions as outputs.

News

• 2023.10.17 Thanks to noirmist! Now you can create the environment via docker.

Environment

• Linux
• Python 3.8.8
• Pytorch 1.12.1
• CUDA 11.3
• Blender 3.4.1
• ffmpeg 4.4.1

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/psyai-net/EmoTalk_release.git
cd EmoTalk_release

Create conda environment:

conda create -n emotalk python=3.8.8
conda activate emotalk
pip install torch==1.12.1+cu113 torchvision==0.13.1+cu113 torchaudio==0.12.1 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113
pip install -r requirements.txt

Demo

Download Blender and put it in this directory.

wget https://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blender/release/Blender3.4/blender-3.4.1-linux-x64.tar.xz
tar -xf blender-3.4.1-linux-x64.tar.xz
mv blender-3.4.1-linux-x64 blender && rm blender-3.4.1-linux-x64.tar.xz

Download the pretrained models from EmoTalk.pth (Updated). Put the pretrained models under pretrain_model folder. Put the audio under aduio folder and run

python demo.py --wav_path "./audio/disgust.wav"

The generated animation will be saved in result folder.
