I taught an AI to shave Henry Cavill's mustache - YouTube


Mr. Kavill receiving an interview.


Let's remove Mr. Kavill's "mustache" on the right side.


Just because there is no mustache, there is not much sense of incongruity.


Even in another interview scene ......


Even if you remove Kawil 's beard on the right side, this also has no discomfort.


Face is up, finish that does not feel uncomfortable when applied in interview scene.


Next, compared with the VFX processing of "Justice League", the impression that VFX on the left side, the used PC and the free software on the right side are impressive is not easy to apply.


However, as you open your mouth, Mr. Kavir's right side looks a bit blurry. Still, we can not hide surprises in cost performance that we can realize the finish so far only with inexpensive PC and free software.


As in this case, it is necessary to gather images of thousands of the same persons to learn AI, in the case of celebrities like Mr. Kavill, if you look for it on the internet you can see a large amount of images It seems that it was realized because it can be gathered. However, although it is said that it takes several days to actually apply the process, cost performance is considered high considering that it takes several weeks to process with VFX. In the future, if further accurate processing becomes possible, the future where VFX processing replaces the processing of AI may be close.
