• Abstract summary: Currently it requires an artist to create 3D human avatars with realistic clothing that can move naturally. We show that a 3D representation can capture varied topology at high resolution and that can be learned from data. We train a neural network with a novel local clothing geometric feature to represent the shape of different outfits.

• Abstract: Currently it requires an artist to create 3D human avatars with realistic clothing that can move naturally. Despite progress on 3D scanning and modeling of human bodies, there is still no technology that can easily turn a static scan into an animatable avatar. Automating the creation of such avatars would enable many applications in games, social networking, animation, and AR/VR to name a few. The key problem is one of representation. Standard 3D meshes are widely used in modeling the minimally-clothed body but do not readily capture the complex topology of clothing. Recent interest has shifted to implicit surface models for this task but they are computationally heavy and lack compatibility with existing 3D tools. What is needed is a 3D representation that can capture varied topology at high resolution and that can be learned from data. We argue that this representation has been with us all along -- the point cloud. Point clouds have properties of both implicit and explicit representations that we exploit to model 3D garment geometry on a human body. We train a neural network with a novel local clothing geometric feature to represent the shape of different outfits. The network is trained from 3D point clouds of many types of clothing, on many bodies, in many poses, and learns to model pose-dependent clothing deformations. The geometry feature can be optimized to fit a previously unseen scan of a person in clothing, enabling the scan to be reposed realistically. Our model demonstrates superior quantitative and qualitative results in both multi-outfit modeling and unseen outfit animation. The code is available for research purposes.

  PocoLoco is the first template-free, point-based, pose-conditioned generative model for 3D humans in loose clothing. We formulate avatar clothing deformation as a conditional point-cloud generation task within the denoising diffusion framework. We release a dataset of two subjects performing various poses in loose clothing with a total of 75K point clouds.

  We introduce a method for high-quality modeling of clothed 3D human avatars using a video of a person with dynamic movements. For explicit modeling, a neural network learns to generate point-wise shape residuals and appearance features of a 3D body model. For implicit modeling, an implicit network combines the appearance and 3D motion features to decode high-fidelity clothed 3D human avatars.

We demonstrate that SCARFs clothing with higher visual quality than existing methods, that the clothing deforms with changing body pose and body shape, and that clothing can be successfully transferred between avatars of different subjects.

  AvatarGen is the first method that enables not only non-rigid human generation with diverse appearance but also full control over poses and viewpoints. To model non-rigid dynamics, it introduces a deformation network to learn pose-dependent deformations in the canonical space. Our method can generate animatable human avatars with high-quality appearance and geometry modeling, significantly outperforming previous 3D GANs.

• Neural 3D Clothes Retargeting from a Single Image [91.5030622330039]
  We present a method of clothes; generating the potential poses and deformations of a given 3D clothing template model to fit onto a person in a single RGB image. The problem is fundamentally ill-posed as attaining the ground truth data is impossible, i.e. images of people wearing the different 3D clothing template model model at exact same pose. We propose a semi-supervised learning framework that validates the physical plausibility of 3D deformation by matching with the prescribed body-to-cloth contact points and clothing to fit onto the unlabeled silhouette.
