GNM (Generative aNthropometric Model) is a Google project aiming to provide an ecosystem of parametric 3D human models and associated perception technology. The first release, GNM Head, is a statistical 3D morphable model of the human head and face that offers disentangled control over identity, expression and head pose. It includes controllable internal anatomy: eyeballs, teeth and tongue.
According to a YouTube summary, the model exposes roughly 253 identity controls and 383 expression controls, plus head rotation and eye direction, and outputs a dense head mesh. The repository provides backends for NumPy, JAX, PyTorch and TensorFlow, along with semantic parameter sampling. A technical report is referenced in the README (arXiv 2607.23687).
The code is released under Apache 2.0, which the README describes as suitable for non-commercial and commercial use. It is aimed at researchers and developers working in computer vision, graphics and generative AI. The roadmap lists further statistical models and perception tools, but only GNM Head is available so far.
