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.
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.
Mesh-agnostic facial animation retargeting transfers expressions across meshes with different structures, but preserving facial motion without surface artifacts remains challenging. To address this, w...

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.

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.
