Vimi

Overview

Vimi is a controllable character video generation AIGC product launched by SenseTime, designed for character dynamic video creation scenarios. It is based on SenseTime's "SenseNova" large model and supports driving video generation through multiple input methods such as actions, animation, voice, and text, making the generated results closer to the target settings in terms of character movements, expressions, and overall performance.

Compared with common character video generation tools, Vimi's distinguishing features lie in its stronger emphasis on "controllability" and "stability." It can not only generate longer-duration video content, but also supports relatively fine-grained control over character limbs, facial details, and scene elements, making it suitable for scenarios such as virtual character demonstrations, advertising creativity, and content production.

  Enables fine-grained control over characters' facial expressions and body movements, covering not only facial driving but also full-body dynamic performance.

• Stable generation of minute-long videos

• Coordinated generation of scene and character elements
  In addition to character movements, it can also reasonably generate elements such as hairstyles, clothing, and backgrounds, helping build more complete video visuals.

• Lighting effect support
  Supports the rendering of lighting direction, intensity, color, and shadow changes, enhancing the realism and visual expressiveness of videos.
