Hugging Face has released SCAIL-2, an open-source model designed for end-to-end controlled character animation. This model animates a reference character using a driving video and supports character replacement and multi-character scenarios without needing intermediate pose representations. SCAIL-2 achieves this by synthesizing motion pairs and using a Unified Motion Transfer Interface, enabling emergent abilities like cross-identity character replacement and zero-shot support for advanced control intermediates.
