Historical Figures Brought To Life. Vol. 3.

[@jamest2401]

I’ve seen a lot of A.I. facial reconstructions on KZbin, but none quite as impressive as this. Most are little more than animated portraits that are, quite frankly, creepy, off-putting and emotionally disturbing, but the images created in this video are the most believable and lifelike ones that I’ve seen yet. Bravo.

[@rolandjung9337]

This is by far the best AI recreation of historical people that I've ever seen. Maybe not 100% realistic, because painters and carvers wanted to show their clients as beautifull as possible and left rotten teeth and scars out, but I'm convinced Your depictions come very close to the original persons!

[@brezzainvernale]

Equator, you just keep getting better and better at reanimating people from the past. This video was simply stunning! It would be nice if you would take the videos of all the ancient Egyptian queens and princesses and use your current A.I. technology to bring them back to life again. Once again, outstanding work!!

[@sarahmartin-xy7dd]

Very nice recreations of various historic personalities, however, they wouldn't be possible without the beautiful, hand-painted illustrations and sculptures from highly skilled artists of the day!

[@jamesromano8666]

Despite the incredible technical and artistic feat of bringing these historical figures to "life," I have to say the original paintings still seem to capture a deeper, more emotional dimension of each individual. I have no doubt that AI will continue to get better, but for now, the the paintings capture more emotional depth. Again, not a criticism of the AI, more like an affirmation of the power and expressive talent of artists throughout history.

[@shanelittle1025]

Agree. AI is biased for today’s standards.

[@cabezzadevaca4157]

Equator, I want to differ on Nefertiti: The nail polish is anachronistic, and the ancient Egyptians used a black make-up on the eyes which is still used to this day. Supposedly, it has some kind of medicinal value to the eyes. Otherwise, all seem real; Bravo! I wish you could do Edward de Vere, that's the man who wrote the Shakespeare plays. There is one painting of him extant.

[@freakkitchen2131]

also according to egyptologysts - Nefertiti's headdress is actually a wig

[@kck9742]

Actually, ancient Egyptians DID use nail color, though it wasn't "polish" -- Nefertiti would have used henna to color her nails. But I agree the style and colors look too modern here.

[@martinrhodes1619]

And Edward De Vere did not write Shakespeare’s plays …

These are remarkable, thank you for your work. Please bear in mind that the painting reference for figures such as Vivaldi [ 5:19 ], the source reference clearly shows the figure wearing a powdered wig; a customary adornment of the period. The AI reconstruction appears to have endeavoured to make the hair appear as natural hair.

Very nice! For some reason the A.I. doesn't want to render red hair or the pale complexions of red haired people, even when it's clear from the portrait that the subject had those features. Other than that, this is a fascinating exercise. Some of them are better than others, but the way the clothing and fashions come to life really stand out.
