AB  - ToonCrafter, published at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024, addresses the in-betweening problem in drawn animation by adapting live-action video diffusion priors to the drawn image domain through a technique called toon rectification learning. Given two cartoon keyframes, the model generates plausible intermediate frames including content not visible in either keyframe, filling the gap generatively. The paper is open-sourced with public weights, making it directly deployable in teaching labs. It matches the scope contract's exemplar class of SIGGRAPH papers on neural in-betweening.
