Nvidia Human Face Tech Demo Download
You can download the Nvidia Lifelike Human Face Rendering Tech Demo. Ira represents a big leap forward in capturing and rendering human facial expression in real time, and gives us a glimpse of the realism we can look forward to in our favorite game characters.
Play with this interactive demo to see Ira immersed in three different lighting environments. Adjust his skin rendering to see the effect of sub surface light transmission through his skin. And, see the realism of his facial motion as he stares you down with a myriad of lifelike expresssions.
- Launched with GeForce GTX 670 and above
- Released: 10 May 2013
- Features: CUDA DirectX 11
- Supported Platform(s) (OS): Windows 7
Face Works uses a face and motion capture technology developed at the University of Southern California’s Institute of Creative Technology (ICT). The Light Stage technology is able to capture data to within a tenth of a millimetre using photographic techniques that capture the geometry of an actor’s face as well as the light transmission through human skin and the reflections that come from the oils too. As well as the still images the Light Stage then uses video capturing to grab around thirty different facial expressions from the actor involved. Once all that information is captured it’s then compressed down to a set of meshes that can be used to recreate and animate a digitised version of that face.
Nvidia have worked with the ICT and managed to get this compressed data down from the 32GB it is in its raw form to around 400MB. At that size it is now possible to do the animation in real time and that is exactly what Jen-Hsun Huang has going on behind him on stage in the video below.

Any hacks to get this running on AMD ? I remember the Pixie demo had an AMD workaround

I love GPU tech demos. They're so much fun to play around with.
And it's cool to see how it works with the different underlays/overlays.
Can't wait until we see this tech in games.

I tried it any way
1080p Vysnc
12-14fps 89-99% gpu load
Uses singe core on a cpu which was pegged @ around 90% every other core was less then 3%
Pretty realisticly no card is powerfull enough to do this or will before for few years

50fps 680 sli
On the 314.22 drivers I'm not getting SLI by default. One Titan is giving me 39fps@1080p or 28fps@1600p
If the 320.00 drivers weren't so buggy I'd try those to see what I'd get with them.
Edit: Forcing AFR2 in control panel gives perfect SLI scaling
How did you know that SLI was working? I can't get Afterburner to work with this so I have no clue of frame rate and if SLI is working/maxing out cards.
I ticked the option in the Nvidia drivers to show SLI indicator but again saw nothing.
EDIT: Just realised their are 2 .exe's. DOHH. Thats why Afterburner is not working.

That skin shader makes a big difference, when you lower quality of it to "0", that face will no longer look life like.
Performance at 1920x1200 on single 680GTX OC:
32 fps with paused facial expressions
23-25 fps with facial expressions
1280x720p:
53-56 with paused facial expressions
38-42 with facial expressions
10 years from now, and we will see faces like that in games
