Recent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) GANs for human heads synthesize and render photorealistic 3D models in real-time and offer a vast variety in identity and appearance. However, controlling specific semantic attributes such as hair color or glasses remains challenging, as edits in the entangled latent space often induce unintended changes in identity or appearance. Although there are several methods that aim to disentangle the latent space post training by estimating directions that only modify certain features, these methods cannot guarantee complete disentanglement and often require pre-trained classifiers. In our approach, we propose a new generator architecture that synthesizes components, such as hair, skin, glasses, and torso, completely independently. This allows for changing the latent vector for one region while keeping the remaining parts fixed. Further, we achieve this separation using only sparse information such as the hair or skin color, eliminating the requirement of segmentation masks or geometric priors, often seen in prior work. To ensure matching shape and lighting conditions during editing, we allow minimal shared information via context tokens between the independent generators. These tokens even allow us to control the shape and light, without any prior annotation. Compared to existing works on GAN-based generation and editing, our method shows better disentanglement, more precise editing control, and competitive visual quality.
