Meshcapade’s Post

We often like to say that #SMPL is the control signal for humans in generative AI models. That is exactly the biggest takeaway from Alex Huot's message to us about his project using Meshcapade + Runway: "I have so much control". In his article, Alex Huot tells the story of the Breaking legend, Mounir Biba, the 13-time world champion and coach of the bronze medal winning Team China at #ParisOlympics2024. He captured the motions of Mounir Biba with Meshcapade's motion-from-video platform and ran them through Runway to generate the visuals. Generative video models can do so much, but what's been missing is control, especially when it comes to generating humans in motion. We've trained the #SMPL model to understand and generate the complexity of 3D human body and motion for #genAI. This is such a great use of our 3D tools. And, all of this is just using our early release model. It's only getting more awesome in the upcoming weeks! 🙌 A big thanks to Alex Huot for sharing your article with us and your kind words about all of our work! #3D #animation #motioncapture
