UniMate is a unified foundation model that generates articulated motion for any skeleton from a rigged 3D asset and a text prompt, eliminating the need for test‑time optimization or per‑skeleton retraining. It uses a topology‑aware diffusion transformer that incorporates skeletal topology through graph‑aware attention bias, spectral rotary position embedding, and a global topological conditioner. Trained on the newly curated UniML3D dataset of 13,006 diverse motion sequences, UniMate outperforms existing baselines in quality, generalization, and efficiency, and supports zero‑shot cross‑topology transfer, in‑betweening, expansion, and text‑guided editing.

The paper introduces a unified conditional-flow framework that integrates text-driven motion generation, semantic editing, and intra-structural retargeting into a single rectified-flow model. By treating editing as a change in semantic condition and retargeting as a change in skeletal condition, the approach eliminates fragmented pipelines and allows a single model to perform generation, zero‑shot editing, and zero‑shot retargeting on articulated 3D motion data. Experiments on SnapMoGen and a Mixamo subset demonstrate that the model can handle all three tasks without task‑specific fine‑tuning, preserving both motion semantics and skeletal structure.
UniMo introduces a unified point‑cloud based framework for generating 3D motion that works for both humans and animals, overcoming challenges posed by diverse skeletal topologies and limited animal datasets. It converts parametric skeletons into unparametric representations and uses dynamic sampling to focus on active joints. The authors also release UniML3D, a large motion‑language dataset with 145,907 sequences and 433,388 captions, and demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on multiple benchmarks.
The paper presents a new approach to automatic skeleton generation that tackles two key challenges: encoding branch structures into token sequences and leveraging test-time computation. It introduces branch‑centric tokenization, a representation that groups structurally related elements together and directly encodes connectivity, producing more compact sequences than traditional BFS serialization. Additionally, the authors propose view‑augmented generation, a test‑time augmentation technique that rotates the input mesh, aligns predictions, and selects the best skeleton based on mesh coverage and consistency across views, leading to improved accuracy on benchmark datasets.
The paper introduces Timo, a kinematics-aware multimodal diffusion transformer designed for human motion generation. Timo employs fully shared multimodal attention, flow matching, and geometric/rotational-kinematics supervision to better coordinate articulated motion, and uses a two-stage curriculum to align motion with text captions. The authors also present a new benchmark of 40,025 clips from six datasets, showing that Timo outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving a 40.8% relative improvement over Kimodo on average.
