Question PanoHead Plugin for Looks ?

[abjohn]

Hi,

Came across this Panohead AI tool which has capability to create complete 3D head from single 2D image. It seems to be open source project. It it possible to develop a plugin for VAM , where input can be image and result will be a 3d modelled character into GAME? Here is the link for PANOHEAD, hope someone can develop a plugin which can automatically model 3D Heads for VAM.

As far as I can tell, this doesn't even generate an actusal 3d model file. It's just a neural network that outputs images.

To work in Vam, you'd need an actual 3d model file that could be imported into daz and converted to a Genesis 2 model, which could be imported into Vam. Even if Panohead created such a file, a Vam plugin couldn't convert it to a Vam model.

Source code of Panohead is open and i was reading through some of the details, output model details , size can be customized. So if someone know the details of output which need to be generated so model is exactly like Genesis-2 , it may work. I am not expert in 3D but just trying to learn and finding ways. I am sure DAZ must be planning to integrate panohead (AI ) into software but they may do it only Genesis-9 or next version. Hope someone does it and it may be revolutionary to have AI integrated Automated 3D model generation into any VR gaming .
