Human motion modelling is crucial in many areas such as computer graphics, vision and virtual reality. Acquiring high-quality skeletal motions is difficult due to the need for specialized equipment and laborious manual post-posting, which necessitates maximizing the use of existing data to synthesize new data. However, it is a challenge due to the intrinsic motion stochasticity of human motion dynamics, manifested in the short and long terms. In the short term, there is strong randomness within a couple frames, e.g. one frame followed by multiple possible frames leading to different motion styles; while in the long term, there are non-deterministic action transitions. In this paper, we present Dynamic Future Net, a new deep learning model where we explicitly focuses on the aforementioned motion stochasticity by constructing a generative model with non-trivial modelling capacity in temporal stochasticity. Given limited amounts of data, our model can generate a large number of high-quality motions with arbitrary duration, and visually-convincing variations in both space and time. We evaluate our model on a wide range of motions and compare it with the state-of-the-art methods. Both qualitative and quantitative results show the superiority of our method, for its robustness, versatility and high-quality.
