TEDRA: Text-based Editing of Dynamic and Photoreal Actors
Basavaraj Sunagad, Heming Zhu*, Mohit Mendiratta*, Adam Kortylewski, Christian Theobalt, Marc Habermann (* equal contribution)

3DV 2025

Over the past years, significant progress has been made in creating photorealistic and drivable 3D avatars solely from videos of real humans. However, a core remaining challenge is the fine-grained and user-friendly editing of clothing styles by means of textual descriptions. To this end, we present TEDRA, the first method allowing text-based edits of an avatar, which maintains the avatar's high fidelity, space-time coherency, as well as dynamics, and enables skeletal pose and view control.
