Hedra Labs has launched a new multimodal foundation model, Character-1, that supports controllable video generation, focusing on expressive characters with full motion video and synced sound. The model, developed by a team of ex-Stanford researchers, allows for the generation of dynamic 3D content and human-centric videos. It aims to provide creators with tools for expressive control, making lip sync apps obsolete. The model can animate faces from audio text, enabling users to make any image talk or sing, and can even handle beards. Early access users have praised its capabilities and potential for creative applications.
