Kirin is a new framework that reconstructs 3D animal motion from in‑the‑wild videos, learns motion priors at scale, and generates realistic motion conditioned on text and image. It introduces AiM3D, the first large‑scale dataset of aligned video‑text‑motion tuples for quadruped animals, and uses an off‑the‑shelf image‑to‑3D model to automatically rig and animate 3D meshes with the generated motion. The framework and dataset provide a foundation for large‑scale, text and image‑conditioned animal motion generation and animation.

For full-body avatars, modeling surface dynamics is crucial for overcoming the uncanny valley and achieving perceptual realism. Person-agnostic methods recover static 3D avatars from monocular images, videos, or text prompts, but their skeleton-driven animations lack realistic surface dynamics such as clothing wrinkles.
arXiv:2606. 31981v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Creating photorealistic, animatable 3D human avatars from monocular images still largely depends on Linear Blend Skinning (LBS) and parametric body models, which constrain expressivity and often introduce artifacts due to imperfect fitting.

3D Gaussian Splatting has achieved remarkable success in photorealistic and efficient rendering, leading to a rapid increase in 3D assets represented by 3D Gaussian primitives. Directly rigging these assets with arbitrary skeleton topologies is highly desirable.

Make‑It‑Poseable is a feed‑forward framework that treats 3D character posing as a skinning‑free latent‑space transformation. It decouples shape deformation from fixed mesh connectivity, using a latent posing transformer, dense pose representation, and an adaptive completion module with bipartite‑matched latent loss. Experiments show it outperforms existing baselines, generalizes to varied morphologies, and supports 3D authoring tasks such as part replacement and refinement.

We study 4D generation to synthesize temporally coherent sequences of 3D geometry for animation and content creation. In contrast to existing SDS-based optimization methods and video-driven animation approaches, we adopt a skeleton-driven animation framework aligned with standard industrial pipelines, which enables explicit control and editing.

SceneReGen is a new framework for reconstructing 3D scenes from a single image by generating and assembling complete object meshes within a shared observation‑aligned scene frame. It uses selective pose factorization to encode each object’s observed orientation directly into the generated mesh, while estimating translation and scale from instance‑level and global scene cues. Evaluated on the 3D‑FUTURE dataset, SceneReGen outperforms existing methods on scene‑level metrics and shows strong performance on object‑level metrics, demonstrating its effectiveness in autonomous‑driving and embodied‑AI scenarios.
