My dream has been to take a photo of a person and extract the 2D sewing pattern of their clothing and then turn it into a 3D garment. ChatGarment does exactly this plus it lets you edit the garment, or create a completely new one, using text prompts. chatgarment.github.io At CVPR2025!

ChatGarment: Garment Estimation, Generation and Editing via Large Language Models

A novel approach that leverages large vision-language models (VLMs) to automate the estimation, generation, and editing of 3D garment sewing patterns from images or text descriptions.

Next in our #CVPR2025 lineup: ChatGarment 🧵✨ Input an image or prompt, get a 3D garment, edit it with more words. Perfect for designers, game studios and researchers. See it live at CVPR booth 1333! Link in comments. #GarmentTech #3DFashion #DigitalHuman #ComputerVision #AI #MachineLearning

To estimate 3D humans from video in world coordinates we add side information to prompt the process. Prompts include bounding boxes, face detections, segmentation masks, and text descriptions. It's currently the most accurate video-based method out there. See us at CVPR2025.

Next in our #CVPR2025 lineup: PromptHMR 👀💫 Turn any video into precise 3D people: occlusions, crowds, world coords solved. State of the art accuracy. 💯 Artists, devs, researchers get instant digital bodies. Visit our booth 1333 @ CVPR to learn more about PromptHMR! #AI #3D #DigitalHumans

Check out DiffLocks, appearing at #CVPR2025. From a single image, we estimate about 100K hair strands that you can then physically simulate. We use a dataset of 40K synthetic hair images with ground truth strands. It's all available for research purposes.

Meet DiffLocks, one of our CVPR papers: 3D hair from one image or video, instant mesh, AND public 40,000 3D hairstyle dataset! Learn more about it at our booth 1333 @ #CVPR2025! Paper link + author names in thread. #3DBody #SMPL #MachineLearning #HairTech #GenerativeAI @cvprconference.bsky.social

One shot. One town. Endless dancing. 🕺💃🎶 This one-take Unreal animation uses Meshcapade to bring every character to life. No mocap suits, just seamless motion from start to finish. Stylized, cinematic, and full of vibes; exactly how digital animation should feel 📹✨ #3DAnimation #MarkerlessMocap

The arXiv paper for PRIMAL is now online. It's a data-driven, interactive avatar, that can be controlled by varied commands, runs in a game engine, and is responsive to perturbations (without physics simulation). arxiv.org/abs/2503.17544

PRIMAL: Physically Reactive and Interactive Motor Model for Avatar Learning

To build a motor system of the interactive avatar, it is essential to develop a generative motion model drives the body to move through 3D space in a perpetual, realistic, controllable, and responsive...

And it just keeps coming from @meshcapade.com -- next up, real-time markerless motion capture from a single camera. Check it out at #GDC2025. Yes, the founders will be there to dance for you (as in this video) but it's more fun to try it yourself!

🎥✨ One camera. Live motion. Zero hassle. Stream real-time motion to 3D characters in Unreal—no suits, no markers, just seamless animation. See it LIVE at Booth C1821! #GDC2025 #MotionCapture #Realtime

Michael J. Black@michael-j-black.bsky.social · last yr.

I'll be at #GDC2025 so if you are there and want to meet, you can probably find me at the @meshcapade.com booth.

Meshcapade@meshcapade.com · last yr.

We're excited to announce that we are going to the #GDC2025! See our demos & Unreal Engine plugin in action—live! We’re bringing next-gen markerless motion capture to game dev. Come experience it for yourself—can't wait to see you all at GDC 2025! #GameDevelopment #UnrealEngine #MotionCapture #GDC
