Animatable Avatar

Animatable avatars are realistic 3D digital representations of humans or animals that can be realistically posed and animated. Current research focuses on efficiently generating high-quality avatars from various input sources, such as single images, sparse videos, or text descriptions, employing techniques like Gaussian splatting, neural radiance fields, and diffusion models to achieve real-time rendering and accurate animation. These advancements are significantly impacting fields like virtual reality, gaming, and digital art by enabling the creation of highly realistic and interactive digital characters. The development of robust and efficient methods for generating and animating these avatars is a key area of ongoing research.
