• Abstract: "How can we animate 3D-characters from a movie script or move robots by simply telling them what we would like them to do?" "How unstructured and complex can we make a sentence and still generate plausible movements from it?" These are questions that need to be answered in the long-run, as the field is still in its infancy. Inspired by these problems, we present a new technique for generating compositional actions, which handles complex input sentences. Our output is a 3D pose sequence depicting the actions in the input sentence. We propose a hierarchical two-stream sequential model to explore a finer joint-level mapping between natural language sentences and 3D pose sequences corresponding to the given motion. We learn two manifold representations of the motion -- one each for the upper body and the lower body movements. Our model can generate plausible pose sequences for short sentences describing single actions as well as long compositional sentences describing multiple sequential and superimposed actions. We evaluate our proposed model on the publicly available KIT Motion-Language Dataset containing 3D pose data with human-annotated sentences. Experimental results show that our model advances the state-of-the-art on text-based motion synthesis in objective evaluations by a margin of 50%. Qualitative evaluations based on a user study indicate that our synthesized motions are perceived to be the closest to the ground-truth motion captures for both short and compositional sentences.

  We build a large-scale language-motion dataset specializing in fine-grained textual descriptions, FineHumanML3D. We design a new text2motion model, FineMotionDiffuse, making full use of fine-grained textual information. Our evaluation shows that FineMotionDiffuse trained on FineHumanML3D improves FID by a large margin of 0.38, compared with competitive baselines.

  A new task, Story-to-Motion, arises when characters are required to perform specific motions based on a long text description. Previous works in character control and text-to-motion have addressed related aspects, yet a comprehensive solution remains elusive. We propose a novel system that generates controllable, infinitely long motions and trajectories aligned with the input text.

  We present the first framework to synthesize the full-body motion of virtual human characters with 3D objects placed within their reach. Our system takes as input textual instructions specifying the objects and the associated intentions of the virtual characters. We show that our synthesized full-body motions appear more realistic to the participants in more than 80% of scenarios.
