SkelGen4D enables text-driven 4D mesh animation via skeleton control

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Researchers have developed SkelGen4D, a novel framework for text-driven mesh animation that synthesizes temporally coherent 4D geometry. Unlike previous methods, SkelGen4D utilizes a skeleton-driven approach, aligning with industrial animation pipelines for enhanced control and editing. The system generates skeleton motions without requiring per-frame annotations by first recovering pseudo-skeletons and then refining them with Motion-GRPO for plausible animation. Evaluations on benchmarks like Truebones Zoo and Diffusion4D demonstrate that SkelGen4D matches or exceeds fully supervised baselines, offering high-quality animation across diverse object categories.
