• Abstract summary: We propose AMG, a method that combines the 2D photorealism and 3D controllability by conditioning video diffusion models on controlled rendering of 3D avatars. AMG is the first method that enables multi-person diffusion video generation with precise control over camera positions, human motions, and background style.

• Abstract: Human video generation task has gained significant attention with the advancement of deep generative models. Generating realistic videos with human movements is challenging in nature, due to the intricacies of human body topology and sensitivity to visual artifacts. The extensively studied 2D media generation methods take advantage of massive human media datasets, but struggle with 3D-aware control; whereas 3D avatar-based approaches, while offering more freedom in control, lack photorealism and cannot be harmonized seamlessly with background scene. We propose AMG, a method that combines the 2D photorealism and 3D controllability by conditioning video diffusion models on controlled rendering of 3D avatars. We additionally introduce a novel data processing pipeline that reconstructs and renders human avatar movements from dynamic camera videos. AMG is the first method that enables multi-person diffusion video generation with precise control over camera positions, human motions, and background style. We also demonstrate through extensive evaluation that it outperforms existing human video generation methods conditioned on pose sequences or driving videos in terms of realism and adaptability.

  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.

  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.
