Researchers have introduced RigidBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the accuracy of rigid-body physics in video generation models. This benchmark utilizes a simulator-grounded approach with five distinct tasks that vary objects, materials, and viewpoints, providing detailed metrics such as per-frame masks, depth, and 6-DoF trajectories. Evaluations of eight models revealed that performance rankings are highly dependent on the specific metric used, with higher visual similarity scores often correlating with larger errors in 3D trajectory prediction. The benchmark also includes a dataset of 5,000 training videos, which was used to fine-tune and analyze the Wan 2.2 TI2V-5B model, showing a significant reduction in trajectory error. AI
