Here are all the CVPR projects that I’m part of in one thread. Conference papers: PromptHMR: Promptable Human Mesh Recovery yufu-wang.github.io/phmr-page/ DiffLocks: Generating 3D Hair from a Single Image using Diffusion Models radualexandru.github.io/difflocks/

Final drop in our #CVPR2025 video series: PICO 🤝📦 Watch how we reconstruct realistic human-object interaction from just one image—with dense contact and mesh fitting! 👋 Visit our booth 1333 at CVPR. 🔗 Paper link in the thread. #3DBody #AI #SMPL

My dream has been to take a photo of a person and extract the 2D sewing pattern of their clothing and then turn it into a 3D garment. ChatGarment does exactly this plus it lets you edit the garment, or create a completely new one, using text prompts. chatgarment.github.io At CVPR2025!

To estimate 3D humans from video in world coordinates we add side information to prompt the process. Prompts include bounding boxes, face detections, segmentation masks, and text descriptions. It's currently the most accurate video-based method out there. See us at CVPR2025.

Check out DiffLocks, appearing at #CVPR2025. From a single image, we estimate about 100K hair strands that you can then physically simulate. We use a dataset of 40K synthetic hair images with ground truth strands. It's all available for research purposes.

Yay, @cvprconference.bsky.social, we’re in! 🎉#CVPR2025 5 papers accepted, 5 going live 🚀 Catch PromptHMR, DiffLocks, ChatHuman, ChatGarment & PICO at Booth 1333, June 11–15. Details about the papers in the thread! 👇 #3DBody #SMPL #GenerativeAI #MachineLearning

Will there be an AI tariff? TL;DR: The societies that will "win" the AI race will not be those that develop the technology first. It will be those that are best able to manage the long-term social disruption AI will cause. perceiving-systems.blog/en/news/what... on Medium medium.com/@black_51980...

One shot. One town. Endless dancing. 🕺💃🎶 This one-take Unreal animation uses Meshcapade to bring every character to life. No mocap suits, just seamless motion from start to finish. Stylized, cinematic, and full of vibes; exactly how digital animation should feel 📹✨ #3DAnimation #MarkerlessMocap

The arXiv paper for PRIMAL is now online. It's a data-driven, interactive avatar, that can be controlled by varied commands, runs in a game engine, and is responsive to perturbations (without physics simulation). arxiv.org/abs/2503.17544

👨‍🎤 Ever seen an Interactive Generative avatar running inside @unrealengine.bsky.social? Check out our latest work, PRIMAL, in collaboration with Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems & Stanford University - live demo at @officialgdc.bsky.social! 🎮 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gcp...

🎉🎉🎉 Happy to announce that the code for our paper Gaussian Garments is now public! Link: github.com/eth-ait/Gaus... Gaussian Garments uses a combination of 3D meshes and Gaussian splatting to reconstruct photorealistic simulation-ready digital garments from multi-view videos. 🧵

The CameraHMR video is now on Youtube. This is currently the most accurate single-image method for estimating 3D human shape and pose. The paper will be presented at 3DV. The code and data are all on-line here: camerahmr.is.tue.mpg.de youtu.be/v3WzpjXpknc

Remember Photo Tourism? It reconstructed rigid scenes from a photo collection. Can we do the same for humans, creating an avatar from your personal photo album? Come see Yuliang Xiu present PuzzleAvatar today #SIGGRAPHAsia2024, 2:45-3:55 PM, Hall B7 (1). puzzleavatar.is.tue.mpg.de

✨ Even higher accuracy for 3D body from images! Our newest "from image" model is here - delivering unmatched precision in 3D body shape and pose accuracy from any photo. #3DAvatars #DigitalCreation #genAI

Today at @SIGGRAPHAsia we present MotionFix – given a 3D human motion, we edit it using text. The edits are varied and include timing, pose, semantics, etc. For example, “kick higher”, “do it faster”, “don’t bend over”.

MoSh has won the 2024 SIGGRAPH Asia Test-of-Time Award. What’s MoSh? It takes motion capture markers and returns the animation of a realistic 3D human body in #SMPL-X format. I wrote a blog post to explain why MoSh is still relevant after 10 years. perceiving-systems.blog/en/news/moti...

Congratulations Marilyn Keller on a brilliant defense & breakthrough thesis that infers the inside of the body from the outside. OSSO (CVPR22) infers the skeleton from the surface, SKEL (SIGAsia23) adds accurate skeletal motion, and HIT (CVRP24) infers the soft tissues. Also, best hat of the year.

Motion capture from archival video? No problem.

For those who missed this post on the-network-that-is-not-to-be-named, I made public my "secrets" for writing a good CVPR paper (or any scientific paper). I've compiled these tips of many years. It's long but hopefully it helps people write better papers. perceiving-systems.blog/en/post/writ...

New: Download your motions as videos! 🎥✨ Want different angles? Adjust your camera in the viewport, download again, and compare the perspectives side by side. #SMPL #3DAnimation #genAI
