ToonComposer's motion mask system is its core competency that differentiates it from similar AI tools. This feature allows users to mark localized details (e.g., hair, hemline, etc.) that need to be dynamically enhanced by painting black areas, and the model will target the magnitude of motion and frequency of change in these areas. In practice, this brings three significant advantages:
- Physical simulation substitution: Natural fluttering effects without the need for a complex physics engine
- Creative Control: If the character's right arm is designated to have a greater swing than the left, the character's right arm is designated to have a greater swing than the left.
- Resource savings: Subtle dynamics that would otherwise be hand-drawn frame-by-frame are now generated through AI!
On a technical level, this functionality is realized through a residual attention mechanism, where the model applies a 3-5 times enhancement factor to the motion vectors of the labeled regions. Typical examples include VTuber's live2D animation, which automatically generates physically correct subtle flutter by simply labeling the hair tips and clothing areas.
