Smart Animate

Product Details

Smart Animate is a new feature in the Sketch plug-in, which allows designers to add animation effects to prototype designs, making the design more vivid and intuitive. This technology creates smooth transition animations by identifying layers with the same name as they change between artboards. It simplifies the animation creation process, allowing designers to quickly iterate and test their design ideas. The introduction of Smart Animate is Sketch’s positive response to user feedback, especially in terms of animation needs.

Main Features

1
Automatically recognize layers with the same name and create animated transitions
2
Supports setting animation duration and easing type
3
Provide practical sample documents for users to download and learn from
4
Supports complex animation effects, such as progress indicators, progressive disclosure, detail polishing and navigation animations
5
Control animation direction via layer position and opacity
6
Achieve complex animation effects using masks, groups, and rotation of individual circles
7
Fine-tune element position with keyboard shortcuts to avoid automatic reassignment to different artboards or canvases

How to Use

1
Make sure the layer you want to animate has the same name on multiple artboards
2
Select the Prototype tab in Sketch's inspector
3
Select Smart Animate in the animation type drop-down menu
4
Set animation duration and easing type
5
Download or copy the sample document to your workspace to see how it works behind the scenes
6
Use masks, groups, and rotations to achieve complex animation effects
7
Fine-tune element position with keyboard shortcuts to avoid automatic reassignment to different artboards or canvases
8
Test animation effects and adjust if necessary

Target Users

The target audience is mainly designers and product managers, who need to be able to display dynamic effects during the prototyping stage to better communicate and test their design ideas. Smart Animate simplifies the animation creation process, making it easy for even designers with no animation experience to get started, thereby improving work efficiency and design quality.

TIP-Editor

TIP-Editor

TIP-Editor is an accurate 3D editor that supports text and image hints, allowing users to precisely control the appearance and position of the editing area through text and image hints and 3D bounding boxes. Employs a stepwise 2D personalization strategy to better learn representations of existing scenes and reference images, enabling precise appearance control through local editing. TIPEditor utilizes an unambiguous and flexible 3D Gaussian splash as a 3D representation for local editing while keeping the background intact. Extensive experiments have proven that TIP-Editor accurately edits according to text and image prompts within the specified bounding box area, and the editing quality and alignment with the prompts are both qualitatively and quantitatively better than the baseline.

RPG-DiffusionMaster

RPG-DiffusionMaster

RPG-DiffusionMaster is a new training-free text-to-image generation/editing framework that utilizes the chain reasoning capabilities of multi-modal LLM to enhance the combinability of text-to-image diffusion models. This framework uses MLLM as a global planner to decompose the complex image generation process into simple generation tasks within multiple sub-regions. At the same time, complementary regional diffusion is proposed to achieve regionalized combination generation. Furthermore, text-guided image generation and editing are integrated in a closed-loop manner in the proposed RPG framework, thereby enhancing the generalization ability. Extensive experiments prove that RPG-DiffusionMaster outperforms state-of-the-art text-to-image diffusion models such as DALL-E 3 and SDXL in terms of multi-category object combination and text-image semantic alignment. In particular, the RPG framework is broadly compatible with various MLLM architectures (e.g. MiniGPT-4) and diffusion backbones (e.g. ControlNet).

URHand

URHand

URHand is the first universal illuminated hand model that generalizes across different views, poses, lighting and identities. The model can be personalized with fewer shots using images taken with the phone, and can be realistically rendered in new lighting conditions. We construct a powerful universal lighting prior based on illumination of multi-view hand images using neural networks. We propose a neural renderer that employs a spatially varying linear lighting model with physically inspired shadows as input features. Our specifically designed lighting model explicitly maintains the linearity of light transmission by removing nonlinear activation and bias. We also introduce joint learning of physically based models and neural lighting models to further improve fidelity and generalization performance. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms existing methods in terms of quality and generalization ability. We also show how to quickly personalize unseen identities from mobile phones.
