Stability AI's 4Director Controls Video World Models with Rigid 3D Geometry

stabilityai · hf · 2026-10-02

Stability AI introduces 4Director, a video world model conditioned on an explicit 4D scene representation: each object is reconstructed once from the input image as a canonical mesh and moved by one prescribed rigid transformation per frame, preventing unobserved geometry from being regenerated independently. The controlled scene is rendered as a depth video, with a Motion Adapter synthesizing view-consistent appearance, illumination, and non-rigid dynamics. Training uses a new dataset of 20,774 clips with automatic rigid 3D scene annotations, and a new Identity-Gated IoU metric jointly evaluates motion adherence and identity preservation. 4Director consistently outperforms prior methods in visual quality and camera/object control.
