Summary

• What is new: Introduction of HeadStudio, a novel framework that significantly improves the quality and animatability of digital avatars from textual prompts.
• Why this is important: Existing methods struggle with generating high-quality, animated avatars effectively.
• What the research proposes: HeadStudio utilizes 3D Gaussian splatting and a FLAME-based approach for better generation and animation of avatars from text prompts.
• Results: HeadStudio generates visually appealing, animatable avatars capable of real-time rendering and smooth control by real-world speech and video.
