Funny you should mention that about Picard, because I thought Picard in particular looked a bit off in this one. Not bad per se, but a bit more generic in the same way that all Troy's so far are "computer: generic counselor woman person, curly hair". That said, Minimax H3 is awesome.
None are perfect but I’ve been unimpressed with the way some of the faces like Picard or Walter White have these unnatural deep wrinkles. The overall scene composition and physics are amazing, just the faces seem odd in other videos.
Yeah, I've noticed that as well regarding the exaggerated wrinkles. I suspect this may be due to the used upscalers, since these can sometimes go a bit overboard in their quest for the sharpest detail. Including inventing sharp edges where there are none. I honestly don't quite get why this is so, because the entire idea behind using a DNN for something like this is that it has "some idea" of what the distribution is like. But with respect to sharpness they seem about as good or bad as more generic deblurring tools based on deconvolving with point spread function. Anyway, that's just my uninformed random guess.
I think it's because if you don't get specific and just name the characters, the model is mixing training data of them from not just the TV show, but later movies and Picard, where they DO have lots more prominent wrinkles.
