Generating an averaged-out frontal view of a still face?

[NimruzirParticipant]

Hi, I’m here with a slightly unusual request. I downloaded a faceset, but I’m not interested in making deepfakes per se. I do 3D figure art in Daz Studio, and getting the right kind of reference faces to make look-alike models, or other stuff, is REALLY hard, because people generally don’t take the kind of flat, no-smiling, even photos that make the best guides for facial structure references. Is it possible to take a deepfake image set, and use it to create a specific kind of reference image? I want to generate an image that is looking straight at the camera, not smiling, with even lighting, and minimal obstruction from hair, glasses, etc. Ideally, I could also do the same with a profile pic, to get a view of the side of the face, but the frontal is the most important part. If my question makes sense, is this feasible? At the moment, I’m just looking through the faceset to manually identify suitable pics, but I’d like to be more efficient about it.
