• Abstract: We introduce X-Dyna, a novel zero-shot, diffusion-based pipeline for animating a single human image using facial expressions and body movements derived from a driving video, that generates realistic, context-aware dynamics for both the subject and the surrounding environment. Building on prior approaches centered on human pose control, X-Dyna addresses key shortcomings causing the loss of dynamic details, enhancing the lifelike qualities of human video animations. At the core of our approach is the Dynamics-Adapter, a lightweight module that effectively integrates reference appearance context into the spatial attentions of the diffusion backbone while preserving the capacity of motion modules in synthesizing fluid and intricate dynamic details. Beyond body pose control, we connect a local control module with our model to capture identity-disentangled facial expressions, facilitating accurate expression transfer for enhanced realism in animated scenes. Together, these components form a unified framework capable of learning physical human motion and natural scene dynamics from a diverse blend of human and scene videos. Comprehensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate that X-Dyna outperforms state-of-the-art methods, creating highly lifelike and expressive animations. The code is available at https://github.com/bytedance/X-Dyna.

  EgoGaussian is a method capable of simultaneously reconstructing 3D scenes and dynamically tracking 3D object motion from RGB egocentric input alone. We show significant improvements in terms of both dynamic object and background reconstruction quality compared to the state-of-the-art.

  We introduce a technique that concurrently learns both foreground and background dynamics by segregating their movements using distinct motion representations.

To further extend video generation to longer sequences without accumulating errors, we adopt a clip-by-clip generation strategy.

  We propose a method to convert open-domain images into animated videos. The key idea is to utilize the motion prior to text-to-video diffusion models by incorporating the image into the generative process as guidance. Our proposed method can produce visually convincing and more logical & natural motions, as well as higher conformity to the input image.
