Digital humans and, especially, 3D facial avatars have raised a lot of attention in the past years, as they are the backbone of several applications like immersive telepresence in AR or VR. Despite the progress, facial avatars reconstructed…

We study the problem of creating high-fidelity and animatable 3D avatars from only textual descriptions. Existing text-to-avatar methods are either limited to static avatars which cannot be animated or struggle to generate animatable…

Motion retargeting is the long-standing problem in character animation that consists in transferring and adapting the motion of a source character to another target character. A typical application is the creation of motion sequences from…

We consider the problem of modifying/replacing the shape style of a real moving character with those of an arbitrary static real source character. Traditional solutions follow a pose transfer strategy, from the moving character to the…
