March 24, 2023: Fixed! This Colab is old and was giving errors, I have updated it to import the correct libraries. Had good results with a standard stock photo of a person standing. Updated Colab Notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/git...

Result from my tests of the fixed colab here:    • Result from PIFuHD, March 24, 2023  

April 24, 2022: Google just released PHORHUM https://phorhum.github.io/, which can not only create 3d models from a single photo of a person, but also animate them! Also FaceBuilder for Blender can create detailed faces with just a couple photos: https://keentools.io/products/facebui...

February 22, 2022 NOTE: I got a few comments that the colab wasn't working. I just verified that it does still work. I tried the default image, then tried again with an image I uploaded of Keanu Reeves. The result is here:    • Result from PIFuHD, February 21, 2022   Please make sure you follow the instructions exactly. If you get errors when uploading your own image, make sure that it does not exceed 60kb in size and that you go through each step after upload.

ANOTHER NOTE: Machine Learning progresses very quickly. The PIFuHD paper, code, and this colab are already quite "old". Newer tools now exist for transforming images (not just people) into 3d meshes, for example NVIDIA Omniverse/Kaolin. If you want to generate face meshes, StyleSDF (https://github.com/royorel/StyleSDF) has a colab that is very easy to use. I hope you will explore those other tools. Good luck!
