AnimalLift: Reconstructing Animatable 3D Animals from a Single Image by Learning Canonical Shape, Texture, and Fur Maps

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 8, 2026 · UTC

Reconstructing a fully animatable 3D animal from a single image remains challenging because animation-ready assets require not only plausible geometry, but also a unified topology, editable appearance, and fur representations compatible with deformation and simulation. Existing image-to-3D approaches often rely on implicit or loosely structured representations that are difficult to rig or edit, while parametric animal models support animation but cannot capture detailed texture and fur appearance. We present AnimalLift, a framework for reconstructing structured, animation-compatible 3D animal
