For full-body avatars, modeling surface dynamics is crucial for overcoming the uncanny valley and achieving perceptual realism. Person-agnostic methods recover static 3D avatars from monocular images, videos, or text prompts, but their skeleton-driven animations lack realistic surface dynamics such as clothing wrinkles.

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.
arXiv:2606. 30347v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present FFAvatar, a Transformer-based 3D Gaussian framework for fast construction of high-quality and animatable 4D head avatars from one or more reference portrait images.
We present Generative Relightable Avatars (GRA), a person-specific method for photorealistic free-view rendering and environment-map relighting of full-body humans. We postulate that modeling fine-grained appearance details is inherently a one-to-many problem that can benefit from a generative formulation.

Creating photorealistic and temporally coherent animatable human avatars from RGB videos remains challenging. Current methods struggle to capture realistic cloth dynamics, producing over-smoothed appearance or severe artifacts on out-of-distribution poses.

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.
