6M-param character network turns one reference image into a minute of walking video, tested against Blender truth
AsyncVibes · reddit · 2026-10-19
A Reddit user demoed a tiny 6M-parameter character renderer that takes a single reference image and generates about a minute of animation driven by control signals (view angle, zoom, camera azimuth). Output is validated against Blender-rendered ground truth, with screenshots showing close structural and pose matches despite minor blur. A compelling example of neural rendering approximating a classic pipeline at very low parameter counts.
