petewoodbridge · x · 2026-07-15
NVIDIA has released ARDY, an open-source real-time AI animation system.
Key features include:
- Text-to-motion capabilities that allow characters to adjust dynamically while moving.
- Real-time replanning when modifying text, adding waypoints, or inserting keyframes during runtime.
- Release of code, weights, and a runnable demo for local deployment.
- Testers report strong controllability, offering an experience akin to a real-time animation system driven by "text + constraints + trajectories."
The system is also linked to NVIDIA's humanoid robotics work, with the same model applicable to both robotic and animation scenarios.
