Two2Four: Generative Quadruped Puppeteering from Human Motion

Fatemeh Zargarbashi, Zehong Qiu, Dhruv Agrawal +4

Realistic animal motion for virtual production is typically obtained either through motion capture of highly trained performers who accurately mimic animal behavior, or by retarget…

VQ-Style: Disentangling Style and Content in Motion with Residual Quantized Representations

Fatemeh Zargarbashi, Dhruv Agrawal, Jakob Buhmann +3

Human motion data is inherently rich and complex, containing both semantic content and subtle stylistic features that are challenging to model. We propose a novel method for effect…
