LUNA: Learning Universal 3D Human Animation Beyond Skinning

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.

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.

EXPLORE-Bench: Egocentric Scene Prediction with Long-Horizon Reasoning

arXiv:2603. 09731v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly considered as a foundation for embodied agents, yet it remains unclear whether they can reliably reason about the long-term physical consequences of actions from an egocentric viewpoint.

PWM-ArtGen: Part World Model for Articulated Object Generation

The key challenge in articulated 3D object generation from a single image is accurately predicting the underlying kinematic structure. Existing methods either infer kinematic parameters directly from a static image that lacks dynamic part-level kinematic relationships, or estimate parameters from visual dynamics generated from a single image, which is prone to accumulated errors of two steps.
