Do you have any uv texture mapping files?

Hi. I am very impressed with your wonderful research. Thank you so much for sharing the great results. I want to render a texture to the output generated by this model. Can I get a uv texture mapping file that matches the output?

Hi. Unfortunately this is a mesh only model and we did not release textures. Data for 16 subjects will be released in the future, this data will also have textures, but it's not available yet.

Note that the approach doesn't easily generalize to textured meshes: you'd need a model to predict the correct texture for each facial expression. For example, tongue and eye/gaze appearance change based on what you say and what your facial expression is. Long story short, a static texture wouldn't be enough.

hi，do you have any time plan when the data with textures be released? I'm really looking forward to the final effect.
BTW, "need a model to predict the correct texture for each facial expression", could you point out this solution a bit more? which model or paper? Or we can achieve it by adjusting methtalk via adding a texture predict module?

Really appreciate your kind insight.
