Wan Animate is a unified framework for character animation and replacement. Generate high-fidelity character videos by precisely replicating expressions and movements from reference videos, or replace characters while maintaining environmental integration.
Wan Animate represents a breakthrough in character animation technology. Built upon the Wan model, it provides precise control over character expressions and movements while maintaining environmental consistency.
Animate any character by precisely replicating expressions and movements from reference videos
Replace characters in videos while preserving expressions and environmental integration
Maintain character appearance while applying appropriate lighting and color tone
Wan Animate builds upon the powerful Wan model architecture, employing a modified input paradigm to differentiate between reference conditions and generation regions. This unified approach enables multiple animation tasks through a common symbolic representation, ensuring consistent and high-quality character animation results.
The system uses spatially-aligned skeleton signals to replicate body motion with exceptional precision. This approach captures the subtle nuances of human movement, from facial expressions to full-body gestures, enabling the generation of character videos with high controllability and expressiveness.
To enhance environmental integration during character replacement, Wan Animate includes an auxiliary Relighting LoRA module. This component preserves character appearance consistency while applying appropriate environmental lighting and color tone, ensuring natural integration into target scenes.
