Towards 3D Dance Motion Synthesis and Control
share
3D human dance motion is a cooperative and elegant social movement. Unlike regular simple locomotion, it is challenging to synthesize artistic dance motions due to the irregularity, kinematic complexity and diversity. It requires the synthesized dance is realistic, diverse and controllable. In this paper, we propose a novel generative motion model based on temporal convolution and LSTM,TC-LSTM, to synthesize realistic and diverse dance motion. We introduce a unique control signal, dance melody line, to heighten controllability. Hence, our model, and its switch for control signals, promote a variety of applications: random dance synthesis, music-to-dance, user control, and more. Our experiments demonstrate that our model can synthesize artistic dance motion in various dance types. Compared with existing methods, our method achieved start-of-the-art results.
