(2022, published ICLR 2023 Oral) introduce the Motion Diffusion Model, a transformer-based diffusion model that operates directly on motion sequences and accepts conditioning from text prompts, action labels, or partial keyframes. The approach produces diverse, naturalistic human motions without requiring a motion prior or complex post-processing. As the founding paper in text-to-motion diffusion, MDM established the architecture underlying a generation of motion-generation tools that are entering character animation and virtual-production pipelines.}, keywords = {character-animation, motion-synthesis, generative-ai}, note = {AI \& Animation Education Knowledge Base} }
