TopoCap: Learning Topology-Agnostic Motion Priors for Monocular Video-to-Animation

Cheng-Feng Pu, Jia-Peng Zhang, Meng-Hao Guo, Yan-Pei Cao, Shi-Min HuSIGGRAPH 2026

TopoCap extracts motion from monocular videos and retargets it to 3D characters with arbitrary skeletal topologies, enabling topology-agnostic video-to-animation.

Team & Careers

Join our Research Team

We pursue first-principles research in 3D, from spatial reasoning and neural graphics to interactive world models. Our work has been consistently recognized at top venues such as SIGGRAPH, CVPR, NeurIPS, and ICCV, and we have open-sourced 30+ projects to advance the broader community.

We offer competitive compensation, ownership of core technical directions, dedicated large-scale compute, and a focused research culture built for long-term, high-impact work.
