Real-time Diverse Motion In-betweening with Space-time Control

Abstract

In this work, we present a data-driven framework for generating diverse in-betweening motions for kinematic characters. Our approach injects dynamic conditions and explicit motion controls into the procedure of motion transitions. Notably, this integration enables a finer-grained spatial-temporal control by allowing users to impart additional conditions, such as duration, path, style, etc., into the in-betweening process. We demonstrate that our in-betweening approach can synthesize both locomotion and unstructured motions, enabling rich, versatile, and high-quality animation generation.
