Portrait animation separates appearance from performance control.
ANTI-AI ARCHIVE · Revised 2026-10-02
Release and use
LivePortrait’s July 2024 project release includes a paper and implementation for portrait animation with stitching and retargeting controls. A source image supplies appearance while driving material directs expression or movement. Later repository features, including animal support, should not be backdated to the initial version.
Section sources: LivePortrait
Change in creative practice
Such a system makes a portrait performable and allows appearance and driving performance to come from different sources. A production record should identify both provenance and permission, rather than crediting only a model. Its art-historical position intersects photography, animation and digital replicas.
