Abstract: Efficiently generating a free-style 3D portrait with high quality and consistency is a promising yet challenging task. The portrait styles generated by most existing methods are usually restricted by their 3D generators, which are learned in specific facial datasets, such as FFHQ. To get a free-style 3D portrait, one can build a large-scale multi-style database to retrain the 3D generator, or use a off-the-shelf tool to do the style translation. However, the former is time-consuming due to data collection and training process, the latter may destroy the multi-view consistency. To tackle this problem, we propose a fast 3D portrait synthesis framework in this paper, which enable one to use text prompts to specify styles. Specifically, for a given portrait style, we first leverage two generative priors, a 3D-aware GAN generator (EG3D) and a text-guided image editor (Ip2p), to quickly construct a few-shot training set, where the inference process of Ip2p is optimized to make editing more stable. Then we replace original triplane generator of EG3D with a Image-to-Triplane (I2T) module for two purposes: 1) getting rid of the style constraints of pre-trained EG3D by fine-tuning I2T on the few-shot dataset; 2) improving training efficiency by fixing all parts of EG3D except I2T. Furthermore, we construct a multi-style and multi-identity 3D portrait database to demonstrate the scalability and generalization of our method. Experimental results show that our method is capable of synthesizing high-quality 3D portraits with specified styles in a few minutes, outperforming the state-of-the-art.
