Comparison between SMPL-X expressions and MB-Lab expressions and some other questions

[sparshgarg23]

Hi,I was experimenting with SMPL-X blender add on and MB-Lab blender add on. MB-Lab add on has in all 23 expression related parameters that control the squinting ,closing of eyes. Other parameters include controlling cheek muscles and movmenet of jaw. Compared to that could you let me know how SMPL-X performs in capturing varied expressions. As mentioned when I was trying out the SMPL-X blender add on ,I noticed that the expressions were only limited to controlling the movement of the jaw.

Also,is it possible to generate a random expression using autoencoder,and then use that as an input to SMPL-X or flame,so as to achieve a better fit.

Lastly,Apart from SMPL-X are,there any other papers/references that work on capturing full body expressions.(not referring to the work done under expose or pixie)
