A system is provided for pose-variant 3D facial attribute generation. A first stage has a hardware processor based 3D regression network for directly generating a space position map for a 3D shape and a camera perspective matrix from a single input image of a face and further having a rendering layer for rendering a partial texture map of the single input image based on the space position map and the camera perspective matrix. A second stage has a hardware processor based two-part stacked Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) including a Texture Completion GAN (TC-GAN) stacked with a 3D Attribute generation GAN (3DA-GAN). The TC-GAN completes the partial texture map to form a complete texture map based on the partial texture map and the space position map. The 3DA-GAN generates a target facial attribute for the single input image based on the complete texture map and the space position map.
