Animated Face of Our Lord from the Shroud of Turin
« on: June 04, 2021, 12:30:08 PM »
I'm sure many of you have seen that 3D reconstruction of Our Lord's Face from the Shroud of Turin.

Well, someone here applied an AI algorithm to animate Our Lord's Face.

This is very moving.



Of course, they cannot fully capture that glow in the eyes (the one you see in pictures of the saints), where the eyes are a window into the soul.  And this algorithm looks a bit twitchy at a couple spots.  But perhaps they can expand on this and improve it.  Perhaps add more facial expression, and a fuller smile.

This is exactly how I picture our Lord when I meditate. It was both uplifting and unsettling for me. I'm actually surprised more people don't base their images of Christ off of the Shroud these days. Rather, I keep seeing this abominable "caveman" rendering of Our Lord:

That animation of the Holy Shroud is beautiful.

I think the Holy Face of Manoppello is an abomination similar to the caveman.

Or, even worse, the effeminate Jesus.

I also dislike the effeminate depictions of St. Joseph that have been pretty popular and become widely circulated.
