facewarp.exe

[efthygeo]

Hello,
I'm trying to execute a part of main_end2end_cartoon.py script.
Specifically, I am interested in the facewarp part of the script so what i actually do is
facewarp/facewarp.exe examples_cartoon/wilk.png out/triangulation.txt out/reference_points.txt out/warped_points.txt -novsync -dump
but i get the following error.

EXCEPTION:
        Failed to read image '-novsync'.

When i omit both -novsync and -dump arguments the script seems to run but does not output something.

Am I missing something or is it a bug?
Thanks, Tim

@efthymisgeo Thanks for pointing this out. The demo script has been updated in my fork, latest commit.
The problem here is because the facewarp.exe needs to take another input argument background_image before the last -novsync or -dump. The right command is

facewarp/facewarp.exe examples_cartoon/wilk.png out/triangulation.txt out/reference_points.txt out/warped_points.txt examples_cartoon/wilk_bg.jpg -novsync -dump

Make sure the relative path is correct and the background image exists. You can check the demo in my fork for a quick try. https://github.com/yzhou359/MakeItTalk/blob/5ba9815532ef818c1ef0ba92b03d098964e70074/main_end2end_cartoon.py#L205

Hey @yzhou359 thanks a lot for your answer!
I also came across an alternative for Unix-based systems in an older commit of this repo. One needs to install wine in order to execute it properly.
