Text-conditioned image editing has greatly benefit-ted from the advancements in Image Diffusion Models. However, extending these techniques to facial video editing introduces challenges in preserving facial identity throughout the source video and ensuring consistency of the edited subject across frames. In this paper, we introduce DiffMagicFace, a unique video editing framework that integrates two fine-tuned models for text and image control. These models operate concurrently during inference to produce video frames that maintain identity features while seamlessly aligning with the editing semantics. To ensure the consistency of the edited videos, we develop a dataset comprising images showcasing various facial perspectives for each edited subject. The creation of a data set is achieved through rendering techniques and the subsequent application of optimization algorithms. Remarkably, our approach does not depend on video datasets but still delivers high-quality results in both consistency and content. The excellent effect holds even for complex tasks like talking head videos and distinguishing closely related categories. The videos edited using our framework exhibit parity with videos that are made using traditional rendering software. Through comparative analysis with current state-of-the-art methods, our framework demonstrates superior performance in both visual appeal and quantitative metrics.

We propose a unified 3D flow framework for joint learning of shape embedding and deformation for different categories. Our goal is to recover shapes from imperfect point clouds by fitting the best shape template in a shape repository after deformation. Accordingly, we learn a shape embedding for template retrieval and a flow-based network for robust deformation. We note that the deformation flow can be quite different for different shape categories. Therefore, we introduce a novel multi-hub module to learn multiple modes of deformation to incorporate such variation, providing a network which can handle a wide range of objects from different categories. The shape embedding is designed to retrieve the best-fit template as the nearest neighbor in a latent space. We replace the standard fully connected layer with a tiny structure in the embedding that significantly reduces network complexity and further improves deformation quality. Experiments show the superiority of our method to existing state-of-the-art methods via qualitative and quantitative comparisons. Finally, our method provides efficient and flexible deformation that can further be used for novel shape design.
