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.

Text-to-motion models generate motion only for the skeletons they were trained on, while a new character arrives as a skeleton file and nothing else. We study text-to-motion for skeletons unseen in tr...
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.

ReMoMask-2 is a retrieval‑augmented text‑to‑motion generation framework that improves on complex motion descriptions by addressing coarse retrieval and representation gaps. It introduces a structure‑aware RAG pipeline with Hierarchical Bidirectional Momentum contrastive learning, Semantic Spatial‑Temporal Attention, and Topology Structured Masking, and rebuilds the retrieval database in the generator’s latent space using a lightweight projector. Experiments on HumanML3D, KIT‑ML, and SnapMoGen show state‑of‑the‑art retrieval accuracy and the lowest FID scores, with a single mask‑transformer stage delivering faster inference than the previous two‑stage design.
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.
