I used an AI to make Realistic Faces from Minecraft Characters

See there we go you guys didn’t watch my video from two days ago you’d have no idea what i’m talking about right now but thank you so much for 600 000 subscribers we finally got there today i wanted to share with you something kind of crazy

Now i’m not going to be on minecraft for this video to be very different but i will be talking about minecraft this has got to be some of the strangest yet coolest things i’ve seen in ai development now what am i talking about exactly this is the face the

Pixelizer it’s kind of created by alex damien satsheed and dennis melamenov it’s gone kind of viral because of what people are doing with it that uses style gan to attempt to de-pixelize a face that you upload and generate a human face that doesn’t exist in the world for example if you go to

This person does not exist.com it is going to create a face of a person that does not exist in the world so there you go it’s hard to believe but this person does not exist in this world and if you want to generate another one you just refresh the page

It’s going to generate another face of a person that does not exist this uses a framework called stylegan which generates high quality images of human faces so faced pixelizer uses the stylogen framework to create a human face using a reference image that you upload now i’m not going to record myself using

This live because there’s a lot of traffic that goes on now i’m aware that by creating this video there’s going to be a lot more traffic here but it’s died down lately which is why i was able to do it you can see all of the different nodes that you can

Modify for your own amusement but i’ve already done them because i don’t want to risk the traffic i was really lucky to to live in australia which is great because not many people do it during my time zone but here we go so obviously the first image i used was steve so i

Uploaded minecraft steve uh it’s got a noticeable face kind of now i know this is already the thumbnail of this video but if you haven’t seen the thumbnail this is what steve looked like once i did it so here is the data that it generates so it uploads it

You can see the background has has come from his shoulders and if i just go to the high resolution image there is minecraft steve in real life what he would look like i don’t know whether you thought this would be the case i don’t know what i’m doing with this look at

His chin i don’t know what’s happened here he’s wearing a skivvy kind of so he has to be a square his face is a square oh my god we’re gonna have a lot of fun with these guys here is alex minecraft alex was next now i was really

Curious as to how this would turn out the the nick the ginger hair the one that covers the shoulder here but this is the result of minecraft alex it’s a dude the image has been stretched to fit this framework but this is alex it’s a guy don’t know why

It’s obviously there’s a bit of warping happening over here this pixel’s a bit off poor ear here has been destroyed but there is alex you get a ton of different results depending on the image that you put in next up we have the plain villager that doesn’t have a job

And when i uploaded that we got this dude kind of a middle-aged man again this weird pixel over here look at that look at the warping happening to the hair it’s like he’s standing in the wind but he’s in a field which is nice it’s kind of the point that that did

Work the nose is fairly normal i like this one this one’s a good result this is a skeleton and if i show you the results it became a middle-aged woman so again the square the squareness of it just had to happen but you can see the resemblance now now i’m not saying

That she looks like a skeleton this is an ai remember a human would not do this and here’s a zombie as you’ll know the zombie doesn’t have any real discernible facial features so this program might have a bit of trouble doing it and as it turns out it did you can’t

The color balance is just off with this one got a minecraft which now this one’s actually very pixelized so the result isn’t that bad and as you can see it’s really not that bad but again the pixel just ruins it i don’t like it the witch has become a guy got the enderman

So we’ve got the eyes but again no real facial features going on here so there’s the enderman he’s wearing a jacket but the square face the hair just square everything’s a square final one i did is a creeper from minecraft and there’s your creeper not that great

But again like it’s a creeper creepy it was the face where’s the face of the creeper you can’t clearly my favorite one is uh this guy the steve dude that’s my favorite and i’m really happy that steve and alex were able to kind of have their time in the sun in this video

Everyone else bar a few were actually quite bad so you can have fun with it just go to face d pixelize you can look it up i will put it in the description but just be aware traffic is always going to be a problem when it comes to things like these

We obviously can have a ton of fun with this as we have been just creating a portrait of a person that does not exist like that this person does not exist in this world despite what you think it looks so real but it’s actually fake thank you all so much for watching

Different kind of video but i wanted to show you this crazy piece of technology that you can try out for yourselves take care You
