AI Art Weekly #128

Hello, my fellow dreamers, and welcome to issue #128 of AI Art Weekly! 👋

This week I kinda got addicted to Suno 4.5. Always wanted to produce my own music and their new 4.5 model feels like AI is finally catching up to realize that dream, so I’m brewing something new that also satisfies my Midjourney urges 😏

Creating music videos was actually something that got me into playing with AI three years ago. Even got commissioned one time by The Winter Sounds to create a deforum video. Something I just now realize I want to get back into again.

So I’m off vibe-creating music videos. Have a great weekend ✌️

News & Papers

Highlights

FLUX Kontext dev

Black Forest Labs released the weights for the FLUX.1 Kontext [dev] model. In case you missed this: the Kontext model series is for text-based image editing that retains the image structure and only changes the part you describes. The cool part compared to the Pro and Ultra model is that the dev model can be fine-tuned and can be combined with LoRAs.

3D

AnimaX can animate rigged 3D characters using video-pose diffusion models based on text prompts.

SeamGPT can generate cutting seams for UV flattening and part decomposition.

Assembler can reconstruct complete 3D objects from part meshes and a reference image.

BecomingLit can create high-resolution head avatars that can be relit and animated from single videos.

Image

XVerse can create high-quality images with multiple subjects that can be edited. It allows precise control over each subject’s pose, style, and lighting, while also reducing issues like attribute entanglement and artifacts.

Text-Aware Image Restoration can restore images and retain the accuracy of text in them.

Video

Matrix-Game can generate high-quality interactive game worlds in Minecraft.

OmniAvatar can generate lifelike full-body avatar videos from audio. It offers accurate lip-syncing and natural movements, and allows for precise control over emotions and backgrounds.

FairyGen can turn a child’s drawing into a story-driven cartoon video while keeping its unique style.

Hunyuan-GameCraft can generate interactive game videos by combining keyboard and mouse inputs into a shared camera view.

SwapAnyHead can swap a human head from a still image into a video while keeping the original body and background.

SyncTalk++ can generate high-quality talking head videos with synchronized lip movements and facial expressions. It uses Gaussian Splatting for consistent subject identity and can render up to 101 frames per second.

Audio

Sonic4D can generate spatial audio for 4D scenes by tracking sound sources from monocular video.
