Specialised diffusion models for character rigging shipped in 2024 and immediately changed the indie game animation pipeline.
AI can generate animated character motion from a rough sketch, using deep learning algorithms that learn to predict motion patterns from large datasets of animated characters. These algorithms can be fine-tuned to generate motion that matches the style and aesthetic of the input sketch, allowing for a high degree of customization and control. Researchers have demonstrated the ability to generate realistic motion from simple sketches, including walking, running, and jumping motions. The quality of the generated motion is often impressive, with some systems able to produce motion that is nearly indistinguishable from that created by a human animator.
