Animatable 3D

Animatable 3D focuses on creating realistic, dynamic 3D models of humans and other objects from video or image data, enabling manipulation and rendering of their appearance across different poses and viewpoints. Current research heavily utilizes Gaussian splatting, a technique representing objects as collections of 3D Gaussians, offering efficient training and rendering compared to neural radiance fields. This approach is particularly effective for creating high-fidelity, real-time animatable avatars, with a focus on improving accuracy, speed, and the handling of complex motions and clothing. The resulting technology has significant implications for fields like computer graphics, virtual reality, and animation, offering improved efficiency and realism in character creation and rendering.
