Live Portrait Windows

Introduction

LivePortrait-Windows is the official Windows package for the LivePortrait project, which facilitates image-driven portrait control in both humans and animals modes. It leverages the Gradio interface for ease of use and offers features like automatic updates from the main repository.

Architecture

LivePortrait-Windows operates by utilizing batch files to launch different modes. The package includes executable scripts such as run_windows_human.bat and run_windows_animal.bat to initiate specific functionalities. Updates to the system and functionality enhancements are frequently integrated to improve user experience.

Training

The project does not specify training details in the README, indicating that this package is likely intended for application rather than development purposes. Training and model updates are managed through the main LivePortrait repository.
