• Abstract: We present a new method for generating controllable, dynamically responsive, and photorealistic human animations. Given an image of a person, our system allows the user to generate Physically plausible Upper Body Animation (PUBA) using interaction in the image space, such as dragging their hand to various locations. We formulate a reinforcement learning problem to train a dynamic model that predicts the person's next 2D state (i.e., keypoints on the image) conditioned on a 3D action (i.e., joint torque), and a policy that outputs optimal actions to control the person to achieve desired goals. The dynamic model leverages the expressiveness of 3D simulation and the visual realism of 2D videos. PUBA generates 2D keypoint sequences that achieve task goals while being responsive to forceful perturbation. The sequences of keypoints are then translated by a pose-to-image generator to produce the final photorealistic video.

  We propose a robust method for 3D reconstruction of inconsistent images, enabling real-time rendering during inference. We recast the reconstruction problem as a 4D task and introduce an efficient 3D modeling approach using 4D Gaussian Splatting. Experiments demonstrate that our method achieves photorealistic, real-time animation of 3D human avatars from in-the-wild images.

  We present DreamDance, a novel method for animating human images using only skeleton pose sequences as conditional inputs. Our key insight is that human images naturally exhibit multiple levels of correlation. We construct the TikTok-Dance5K dataset, comprising 5K high-quality dance videos with detailed frame annotations.

  We aim to tackle the interesting yet challenging problem of generating videos of diverse and natural human motions from prescribed action categories. Key issue lies in the ability to synthesize multiple distinct motion sequences that are realistic in their visual appearances. Action2motionally generates plausible 3D pose sequences of a prescribed action category, which are processed and rendered by motion2video to form 2D videos.
