Researchers have adapted autoregressive rigging models, typically used for character animation, to reconstruct skeletal structures of plants. Initial tests with models like UniRig and SkinTokens showed limitations in handling the complex and variable branching patterns of plants. Through multi-round fine-tuning on synthetic and real-world plant data, the UniRig model was improved to accurately capture branching topology and even generalize to plants with foliage, demonstrating a viable path for automated plant rigging.
