MotionPyramid: Controllable Motion Synthesis via Stylized Phase Manifolds
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We introduce stylized phase manifolds—a compact, interpretable latent representation that disentangles motion content (e.g. “jumping”, “walking”), the temporal structure (e.g. motion cycle frequency, gait timing), and style (i.e. how the motion is performed). Learned in an unsupervised manner and inherently low‐dimensional, the manifold offers
