Abstract: Transferring pose to three-dimensional characters is a common computer graphics task that typically involves transferring the pose of a reference avatar to a (stylized) three-dimensional character. Since three-dimensional characters are created by professional artists through imagination and exaggeration, and therefore, unlike human or animal avatars, have distinct shape and features, matching the pose of a three-dimensional character to that of a reference avatar generally requires manually creating shape information for the three-dimensional character that is required for pose transfer. The present disclosure provides for the automated transfer of a reference pose to a three-dimensional character, based specifically on a learned shape code for the three-dimensional character.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing spatial propagation. The technique includes generating a first directed acyclic graph (DAG) by connecting spatially adjacent points included in a set of unstructured points via directed edges along a first direction. The technique also includes applying a first set of neural network layers to one or more images associated with the set of unstructured points to generate (i) a set of features for the set of unstructured points and (ii) a set of pairwise affinities between the spatially adjacent points connected by the directed edges. The technique further includes generating a set of labels for the set of unstructured points by propagating the set of features across the first DAG based on the set of pairwise affinities.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) object reconstruction neural network system learns to predict a 3D shape representation of an object from a video that includes the object. The 3D reconstruction technique may be used for content creation, such as generation of 3D characters for games, movies, and 3D printing. When 3D characters are generated from video, the content may also include motion of the character, as predicted based on the video. The 3D object construction technique exploits temporal consistency to reconstruct a dynamic 3D representation of the object from an unlabeled video. Specifically, an object in a video has a consistent shape and consistent texture across multiple frames. Texture, base shape, and part correspondence invariance constraints may be applied to fine-tune the neural network system. The reconstruction technique generalizes well—particularly for non-rigid objects.
