Researchers have developed a new method called Adaptive Interpolation-Synthesis (AIS) to assist animators with the time-consuming process of creating in-between frames for 3D animation. This technique is designed to align with professional animation workflows by dynamically balancing learned interpolation with direct pose synthesis. The AIS layer aims to improve stylistic consistency and has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on production data, leading to a 3.5x speedup in in-betweening tasks when integrated with Autodesk Maya.
