AnimateAnyMesh++: A Flexible Feed-Forward Framework for High-Fidelity Text-Driven Mesh Animation.

Abstract

Recent advances in 4D content generation have attracted increasing attention, yet creating high-quality animated 3D models remains challenging due to the complexity of modeling spatio-temporal distributions and the scarcity of 4D training data. We present AnimateAnyMesh++, a feed-forward framework for text-driven animation of arbitrary 3D meshes with substantial upgrades in data, architecture, and generative capability. First, we expand the DyMesh-XL dataset by mining dynamic content from Objaverse-XL, increasing the number of unique identities from 60K to 300K and substantially broadening category and motion diversity. Second, we redesign DyMeshVAE-Flex with power-law topology-aware attention and vertex-normal-enhanced features, which significantly improves trajectory reconstruction, local geometry preservation, and mit igates trajectory-sticking artifacts. Third, we introduce archi tectural changes to both DyMeshVAE-Flex and the rectified flow (RF) generator to support variable-length sequence training and generation, enabling longer animations while preserving reconstruction fidelity. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AnimateAnyMesh++ generates semantically accurate and tem porally coherent mesh animations within seconds, surpassing prior approaches in quality and efficiency. The enlarged DyMesh XL, the upgraded DyMeshVAE-Flex, and variable-length RF to gether deliver consistent gains across benchmarks and in-the-wild meshes. We will release code, models, and the expanded DyMesh XL at https://github.com/JarrentWu1031/AnimateAnyMesh-pp upon acceptance of this manuscript to facilitate research in 4D content creation.
