SkeletonGaussian: Editable 4D Generation through Gaussian Skeletonization
SkeletonGaussian introduces a novel framework for generating editable, dynamic 3D Gaussians from monocular video. By decomposing motion into sparse, rigid skeletal movements and fine-grained non-rigid details, it enables intuitive motion editing and high-quality 4D generation, overcoming the limitations of implicit deformation fields in existing methods.
Executive Impact Summary
SkeletonGaussian redefines 4D content generation, moving beyond static outputs to interactive, editable dynamic models. This breakthrough empowers artists and developers with unprecedented control over motion, streamlines animation workflows, and significantly reduces the iterative overhead associated with traditional implicit deformation methods.

Direct Control Over Dynamic 3D Models
SkeletonGaussian's core innovation lies in its explicit, skeleton-driven representation, which directly addresses the limitations of implicit deformation fields. Unlike methods that require complex retraining for edits, SkeletonGaussian allows users to intuitively adjust skeletal poses, enabling real-time motion editing and seamless integration into standard animation pipelines like Blender. This significantly enhances creative control and workflow efficiency.
Hierarchical Motion Decomposition for Fidelity
Our framework decomposes complex object motion into two interpretable components: sparse rigid deformation, explicitly driven by a skeleton via Linear Blend Skinning (LBS), and fine non-rigid deformation, captured by a hexplane-based refinement. This hierarchical approach efficiently models intricate details like wrinkles while maintaining structural integrity, ensuring both high-fidelity and controllable dynamic 3D Gaussian generation.
Efficient Workflow for Dynamic Content
SkeletonGaussian delivers exceptional performance with real-time rendering at 150 FPS. Its parameter-efficient skeletal pose parameterization grows linearly with joints and time (O(B × T)), drastically reducing memory and training time compared to quadratically scaling dense deformation fields. The entire generation process, from static model to editable 4D animation, is designed for speed and efficiency on modern GPUs.

Case Study: Challenges with Non-Articulated Objects
SkeletonGaussian excels at modeling naturally articulated structures like humans and animals. However, for non-articulated objects such as a gun barrel (Figure 11), where motion is primarily rigid translation rather than joint-based, our skeletal model encounters limitations. The framework struggles to accurately reconstruct sliding motions because skeletal transformations are not designed to approximate these specific rigid translations. This highlights an area for future development in handling purely rigid or non-articulated object dynamics within the skeletal paradigm.
