Learning to Control Physically-simulated 3D Characters via Generating and Mimicking 2D Motions

This article likely presents a novel approach to animating 3D characters. The core idea seems to be leveraging 2D motion data to guide the control of physically simulated 3D models. This could involve generating new 2D motions or mimicking existing ones, and then using these as a basis for controlling the 3D character's movements. The use of 'physically-simulated' suggests a focus on realistic and dynamic motion, rather than purely keyframe-based animation. The source, ArXiv, indicates this is a research paper, likely detailing the methodology, experiments, and results of this approach.
