• Abstract: Motion style transfer is a common method for enriching character animation. Motion style transfer algorithms are often designed for offline settings where motions are processed in segments. However, for online animation applications, such as realtime avatar animation from motion capture, motions need to be processed as a stream with minimal latency. In this work, we realize a flexible, high-quality motion style transfer method for this setting. We propose a novel style transfer model, Style-ERD, to stylize motions in an online manner with an Encoder-Recurrent-Decoder structure, along with a novel discriminator that combines feature attention and temporal attention. Our method stylizes motions into multiple target styles with a unified model. Although our method targets online settings, it outperforms previous offline methods in motion realism and style expressiveness and provides significant gains in runtime efficiency

  Motion style transfer changes the style of a motion while retaining its content and is useful in computer animations and games. It is unknown how to decouple and control contact to achieve fine-grained control in motion style transfer. We present a novel style transfer method for fine-grained control over contacts while achieving both motion naturalness and spatial-temporal variations of style.

  We propose a fully automated approach to selecting motion for a character to track in a given scenario. High-level task objectives that the character should perform can be specified by relatively simple reward functions. Low-level style of the character's behaviors can be specified by a dataset of unstructured motion clips. Our system produces high-quality motions comparable to those achieved by state-of-the-art tracking-based techniques.

  Transferring the motion style from one animation clip to another, while preserving the motion content of the latter, has been a long-standing problem in character animation. We present a novel data-driven framework for motion style transfer, which learns from an unpaired collection of motions with style labels. Our framework is able to extract motion styles directly from videos, bypassing 3D reconstruction, and apply them to the 3D input motion.
