What is Wan Animate?

Wan Animate is an advanced character animation and replacement tool that transforms static character images into dynamic video animations. Using spatially-aligned skeleton signals and implicit facial features, Wan Animate precisely replicates expressions and movements from reference videos to generate high-fidelity character animations. This powerful character animator can either animate characters standalone or seamlessly replace existing characters in videos while maintaining environmental lighting and color tone integration. Built on cutting-edge motion transfer technology, Wan Animate enables effortless character motion capture and realistic character animation synthesis with professional-grade results.

Wan-Animate can animate any character based on a performer's video, precisely replicating the performer's facial expressions and movements to generate highly realistic character videos.
Wan-Animate can replace characters in a video with animated characters, preserving their expressions and movements while also replicating the original lighting and color tone for seamless environmental integration.

Method

Method
Overview of Wan-Animate, which is built upon Wan-I2V. We modify its input formulation to unify reference image input, temporal frame guidance, and environmental information (for dual-mode compatibility) under a common symbolic representation. For body motion control, we use skeleton signals that are merged via spatial alignment. For facial expression control, we leverage implicit features extracted from face images as the driving signal. Additionally, for character replacement, we train an auxiliary Relighting LoRA to enhance the character's integration with the new environment..
