Why Character 3 fits talking head
Character 3 (Hedra) is built for one face image + one audio track → lip-synced talking-head video. The model drives mouth and expression from the audio so the character speaks naturally. Use a clear face reference (front or three-quarter, good lighting) and clean audio for best sync. For Veed's pipeline, use Fabric 1.0; for ByteDance, OmniHuman v1.5. For character motion without speech, use Gen-4 Act-Two.
