Generative 3D Face Models are expressive models with applications in modelling and editing. They are learned from example faces, and offer a compact representation of the continuous space of faces. While they have proven to be useful as strong priors in face reconstruction they remain to be difficult to use in artistic editing tasks. We describe a way to navigate face space by changing meaningf...
