Abstract

WildActor generates consistent human videos with full-body identity preservation across varying viewpoints and motions using a large-scale dataset and novel attention mechanisms.

AI-generated summary

Production-ready human video generation requires digital actors to maintain strictly consistent full-body identities across dynamic shots, viewpoints and motions, a setting that remains challenging for existing methods. Prior methods often suffer from face-centric behavior that neglects body-level consistency, or produce copy-paste artifacts where subjects appear rigid due to pose locking. We present Actor-18M, a large-scale human video dataset designed to capture identity consistency under unconstrained viewpoints and environments. Actor-18M comprises 1.6M videos with 18M corresponding human images, covering both arbitrary views and canonical three-view representations. Leveraging Actor-18M, we propose WildActor, a framework for any-view conditioned human video generation. We introduce an Asymmetric Identity-Preserving Attention mechanism coupled with a Viewpoint-Adaptive Monte Carlo Sampling strategy that iteratively re-weights reference conditions by marginal utility for balanced manifold coverage. Evaluated on the proposed Actor-Bench, WildActor consistently preserves body identity under diverse shot compositions, large viewpoint transitions, and substantial motions, surpassing existing methods in these challenging settings.

hot take: that asymmetric identity-preserving attention with identity cues flowing through lightweight LoRA adapters could actually scale true full-body identity without freezing motion. the identity-aware 3d RoPE encoding to decouple identity from the backbone dynamics feels like a clean way to keep motion fluid while staying identity-consistent. the breakdown on arxivlens was solid, found a nice walkthrough here: https://arxivlens.com/PaperView/Details/wildactor-unconstrained-identity-preserving-video-generation-1014-ef22a595
