Dancing Points: Synthesizing Ballroom Dancing with Three-Point Inputs

Ballroom dancing is a structured yet expressive motion category. Its highly diverse movement and complex interactions between leader and follower dancers make the understanding and synthesis challenging. We demonstrate that the three-point trajectory …

Pose-to-Motion: Cross-Domain Motion Retargeting with Pose Prior

We introduce a neural motion synthesis approach that uses accessible pose data to generate plausible character motions by transferring motion from existing motion capture datasets. Our method effectively combines motion features from the source …

WalkTheDog: Cross-Morphology Motion Alignment via Phase Manifolds

We introduce a novel approach to learn a common phase manifold from motion datasets across different characters, such as human and dog, using vector quantized periodic autoencoders. This manifold clusters semantically similar motions into the same …

MoDi: Unconditional Motion Synthesis from Diverse Data

The emergence of neural networks revolutionized motion synthesis, yet synthesizing diverse motions remains challenging. We present MoDi, an unsupervised generative model trained on a diverse, unstructured, unlabeled dataset, capable of synthesizing …
