DreamActor-M1 Technical Method
Method Overview
Hybrid Motion Guidance
Combines three complementary control signals for fine-grained animation control.
- Implicit facial representations for expressions
- 3D head spheres for position and rotation
- 3D body skeletons for movement and bone length
Complementary Appearance
Multi-reference strategy to maintain consistency in unseen regions.
- Samples distinct poses from movements
- Generates multi-frame references
- Propagates details across video segments
Progressive Training
Three-stage strategy to optimize different aspects of animation.
- Stage 1: Body skeletons and head spheres
- Stage 2: Add facial representations
- Stage 3: Fine-tune all parameters
Technical Workflow
Extract Control Signals
From driving video, extract implicit facial motion, 3D head spheres, and 3D body skeletons.
Generate References
Create multi-view pseudo-references for complementary appearance guidance.
DiT Processing
Process through the Diffusion Transformer with hybrid guidance integration.
Video Generation
Generate consistent video with accurate motion and detailed expressions.
Innovation Details
Implicit Facial Representations
Unlike conventional facial landmarks, our method uses learned representations that capture subtle expression details while decoupling identity.
3D Head Spheres
Provides intuitive control over head position and rotation, particularly effective for preserving unique head structures.
Bone Length Adjustment
Normalizes skeletal proportions between reference and driving subjects, allowing better adaptation to different body types.
