Lifting 2D StyleGAN for 3D-Aware Face Generation

Official implementation of paper "Lifting 2D StyleGAN for 3D-Aware Face Generation".

Requirements

You can create the conda environment by using conda env create -f environment.yml

Training

Training from pre-trained StyleGAN2

Download our pre-trained StyleGAN and face embedding network from here for training. Unzip them into the pretrained/ folder. Then you can start training by:

python tools/train.py config/ffhq_256.py

Note that you do not need an image dataset here becuase we simply lift the StyleGAN2 using images generated by itself.

Training from custom data

We use a re-cropped version of FFHQ to fit the style of our face embedding network. You can find this dataset here. The cats dataset can be found here. To train a StyleGAN2 from you own dataset, check the content under stylegan2-pytorch folder. After training a StyleGAN2, you can lift it using our training code. Note that our method might not apply to other kind of images, if they are very different from human faces.

Testing

Pre-trained Models:

Google Drive

Sampling random faces

You can generate random samples from a lifted gan by running:

python tools/generate_images.py /path/to/the/checkpoint --output_dir results/

Make sure the checkpoint file and its config.py file are under the same folder.

Generating controlled faces

You can generate GIF animations of rotated faces by running:

python tools/generate_poses.py /path/to/the/checkpoint --output_dir results/ --type yaw

Similarly, you can generate faces with different light directions:

python tools/generate_lighting.py /path/to/the/checkpoint --output_dir results/

Testing FID

We use the code from rosinality's stylegan2-pytorch to compute FID. To compute the FID, you first need to compute the statistics of real images:

python utils/calc_inception.py /path/to/the/dataset/lmdb

You might skip this step if you are using our pre-calculated statistics file (link). Then, to test the FID, you can run:

python tools/test_fid.py /path/to/the/checkpoint --inception /path/to/the/inception/file

Acknowledgment

Part of this code is based on Wu's Unsup3D and Rosinality's StyleGAN2-Pytorch.
