New MOCO framework generates coherent 3D avatar motion from multimodal inputs

Researchers have developed MOCO, a novel diffusion-based framework for generating coherent 3D avatar motions from multiple simultaneous inputs like speech audio, text descriptions, and trajectory data. Unlike previous methods that struggle with aligned multimodal data and often produce mismatched movements, MOCO decouples the motion generation process. In each denoising step, it independently generates motions for each modality and then assembles them based on spatial rules, iteratively refining the overall motion for natural and fluid results. Experiments on a custom benchmark show MOCO outperforms existing approaches in multimodal motion generation. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more realistic and interactive 3D avatars in gaming, virtual reality, and animation.

    Multi-Modal Controlled Coherent Motion Generation

    arXiv:2609.11439v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: It is natural for humans to walk and talk simultaneously. This paper tackles the challenge of replicating such natural behaviors in 3D avatar motion generation driven by concurrent multimodal inputs, such as a text description of a …
