from projector.py

Results

Model blend:

• model trained for 500,000 iteration on FFHQ
• model further trained for additional 180,000 iteration on KaoKore

How model is blended

Result for blend_and_project

Result on my face

Future Fixes

Latent space is found by projection on blended model,
But wwould it have been better if projection of FFHQ trained StyleGAN2?
