📢 @eyelinestudios and @netflix latest research, 🌟Go-with-the-Track🌟, has been accepted to #SIGGRAPH2026. We propose a video generation framework that jointly conditions on multiple reference images and reference-anchored point tracks, enabling a range of content creation applications within a unified model: • Motion-preserving video restylization using multiple reference images; • Mesh- or keypoint-driven compositing and stylization; • Camera motion control for both static and dynamic scenes using multiple reference images captured from different view-points and time steps. ✊Congrats to the team: @Koichi_N_, @yash2kant, Zhizheng Liu, @RyanBurgert, @Yuancheng_Xu0, @kuanhenglin, Emmett Steven, @JulienPhilip2, @maleewahaha, Andrea Vedaldi, @debfx, @realNingYu 📰 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2606.20891 🌐 Project: eyeline-labs.github.io/Go-wi… ⌨️ Code: github.com/Eyeline-Labs/Go-w… *** This work is part of the ongoing research and development at @eyelinestudios and @netflix, and we look forward to seeing its techniques and workflows adopted in future productions.

Happy to present "Lighting in Motion" at #CVPR, trained to predict the HDRI map for image-based lighting from anywhere in an LDR image or video. Used for CGI or to drive @eyelinestudios's Light Dome LED stage with lighting from generated backgrounds. eyeline-labs.github.io/LiMo/

Happy to join @jon_barron in congratulating @BenMildenhall and @_pratul_ for their ACM Grace Hopper Award recognizing Neural Radiance Fields -- NeRF's -- which in 2020 dramatically advanced the process of modeling and rendering 3D scenes from photographs.
Congrats @BenMildenhall and @_pratul_! ACM gives Grace Hopper Awards to under-35-year-olds for *one specific thing*, here it's NeRF. Past winners include Donald Knuth (for "The Art of Computer Programming"), Steve Wozniak (for Apple), and @martin_casado (for SDN). Good company!

Kudos to the research team at our sister company @eyelinestudios. Their latest research paper, 🌊Go-with-the-Flow 🌊, will be presented at #CVPR2025! Based on their research, we believe this could allow artists in the future to leverage these new techniques to direct the motion in generated videos, empowering creative control in a wide range of video applications: cut-and-drag animation, transferring movement between videos, first frame editing, camera control via depth warping, and text-to-video 3D scene creation. Kudos to the amazing team: @RyanBurgert, @Yuancheng_Xu0, @wenqi_xian, Oliver Pilarski, Pascal Clausen, Mingming He, @maleewahaha, @yitong_deng, Lingxiao Li, Mohsen Mousavi, @ryoo_michael, @debfx, @realNingYu, from @eyelinestudios, @Scanline_VFX, @netflix, Stony Brook University, University of Maryland, and @Stanford. ***This is part of the ongoing research and development at @eyelinestudios and we hope to see adoption in these techniques and workflows soon.
