Hi there,
Currently, I am using mediapipe for FaceMesh, which has decent reliability and is easy to setup in Python. However, I recently discovered Microsoft Research's "3D Face Reconstruction with Dense Landmarks" paper, which appears to be a much better alternative.
Does anyone know where I can access Microsoft DenseLandmarks or an equally good alternative?

AFAIK, microsoft denselandmark model is not open for public. They only released their synthetic face landmark / face segmentation dataset.
You can check DECA, 3DDFA , as they give you detailed 3d landmarks (detailed as in "denser" 3d landmarks) which is obtained through Face Blendshape Vertices.
As for performance (speed) Mediapipe is the only option among these other models that is close to "real time" inference.
Did you find a solution op?
