• Authors: Purvi Goel, Kuan-Chieh Wang, C. Karen Liu, Kayvon Fatahalian,
• Abstract summary: Text-to-motion diffusion models can generate realistic animations from text prompts, but do not support fine-grained motion editing controls. We present a method for using natural language to iteratively specify local edits to existing character animations. Our system can perform motion edits that respect the animator's editing intent, remain faithful to the original animation, and yield realistic character animation results.

• Abstract: Text-to-motion diffusion models can generate realistic animations from text prompts, but do not support fine-grained motion editing controls. In this paper, we present a method for using natural language to iteratively specify local edits to existing character animations, a task that is common in most computer animation workflows. Our key idea is to represent a space of motion edits using a set of kinematic motion editing operators (MEOs) whose effects on the source motion is well-aligned with user expectations. We provide an algorithm that leverages pre-existing language models to translate textual descriptions of motion edits into source code for programs that define and execute sequences of MEOs on a source animation. We execute MEOs by first translating them into keyframe constraints, and then use diffusion-based motion models to generate output motions that respect these constraints. Through a user study and quantitative evaluation, we demonstrate that our system can perform motion edits that respect the animator's editing intent, remain faithful to the original animation (it edits the original animation, but does not dramatically change it), and yield realistic character animation results.

  Key challenges include the scarcity of training data and the need to design a model that accurately edits the source motion. We propose a methodology to semi-automatically collect a dataset of triplets comprising (i) a source motion, (ii) a target motion, and (iii) an edit text. Access to this data allows us to train a conditional diffusion model, TMED, that takes both the source motion and the edit text as input.

  This work presents a practical system, named LivePhoto, which allows users to animate an image of their interest with text descriptions. We first establish a strong baseline that helps a well-learned text-to-image generator (i.e., Stable Diffusion) take an image as a further input. We then equip the improved generator with a motion module for temporal modeling and propose a carefully designed training pipeline to better link texts and motions.
