In the film world, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to change the physical appearance of characters is already a very common practice. As technology has advanced, this industry has been perfecting its techniques, which now go one step further with the tool that Disney has just presented to rejuvenate (or age) actors much more quickly.
This technique, called Face Re-Aging Network (FRAN), simplifies the latvia number data work of digital artists, as it significantly reduces time by automating the creation processes.
Traditional visual effects can be time-consuming, as editors typically paint frame by frame manually. However, with a solution recently unveiled by Disney Research Studios, faces can be rejuvenated and aged in just a few minutes.
According to the company, it is a “practical, fully automatic and production-ready” tool . Moreover, unlike the techniques used until now, the so-called FRAN adapts to moving images with an astonishing degree of precision, even when the subject is not looking at the camera.
How does this new Disney technique work?
To train FRAN, the research team collected thousands of AI-generated faces and then saw how the machine learning technology would perform. Instead of creating new faces, the tool recognizes parts of the face that can be affected by age , such as expression lines and wrinkles around the eyes .
It superimposes these features onto the subject's face, creating a stable and realistic effect that preserves the original facial features in different lighting conditions and from different angles. These features are then added to the real image as if they were "layers".
The results provided by this Disney rejuvenation tool are astonishing. The tool also has an interface that allows artists to use it easily in their production environments, so it promises
