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.

See above. Use 32bit .exe and Afterburner software.

MSI Afterburner or FRAPS I'd imagine, unless the demo has its own OSD

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.
32bit binary will allow OSD, afr2 works fine

I still think that for games the level of realism is not important. The more realism the less imagination, imo.
For education, for training, for video-conferencing, for movie industry - yes, can be important.
