NVIDIA Research Introduces JCA for Joint Video and 3D Motion Generation
·2026.10.23 09:00
Key point
The model uses a separate motion branch connected via cross-attention to handle arbitrary skeletons and register motion in 3D scenes.
Details
- JCA jointly generates video and synchronized 3D motion for rigs of any topology from a text prompt, unlike prior models limited to human skeletons or 2D pose triangulation.
- The architecture separates the motion model from the video generator, connecting them with bidirectional cross-attention layers to allow the motion model to learn from motion-only data.
- A joint-localization head predicts joint positions in video frames to recover the camera and register the 3D motion within the scene.
- Training utilizes nearly 200K pairs curated from a generative video editor, human video, and robot video datasets including OiV, OpenVid, HAA500, HumanML3D, BONES-SEED, DROID, RoboCerebra, TAVIS, and ALOHA.
- The model supports scene-aware animation, keyframe-controlled motion, video-to-motion recovery, and motion-to-video generation.
