FreeAnimate: Training-Free Human Image Animation with Preview-Guided Denoising
arXiv:2606. 06885v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human Image Animation has seen significant advancements, primarily driven by diffusion models.
MultiAnimate: A Unified Framework for Controllable Multi-Character Animation
Recent advances in generative models and technological innovations have significantly addressed the fundamental challenges of character image animation. However, existing approaches predominantly focus on character animation from a single reference image, substantially limiting their applicability in scenarios such as multiple character interaction animation.

GroupVideo: Multi-Identity Customized Text-to-Video Generation
Current identity customized video generation methodologies are predominantly limited to single-identity scenarios, as the lack of explicit identity separation mechanisms often leads to identity confusion in multi-identity settings. Existing multi-identity approaches, which directly extend single-identity frameworks by concatenating face images as input conditions, frequently result in unnatural facial expressions and motions, manifesting as the "copy-paste" phenomenon.

SkelGen4D: Weakly-Supervised Skeleton-Based 4D Generation for Text-Driven Mesh Animation
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.

ViP-Rig: Visual-Prompted Controllable Rigging
Rigging is inherently task-dependent because the same mesh may require different skeletons and deformation behaviors across animation tasks. In practice, artists often inspect an initial rig and repeatedly edit its skeletal structure and deformation behavior to meet specific animation requirements.
