What is Hunyuan-GameCraft？
Hunyuan-GameCraft is a high-dynamic interactive game video generation framework jointly developed by Tencent’s Hunyuan team and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. It unifies keyboard and mouse inputs into a shared camera representation space, enabling fine-grained motion control and support for complex interactive inputs. The framework introduces a hybrid historical conditioning training strategy that allows autoregressive video generation while preserving scene information and ensuring long-term temporal consistency. By leveraging model distillation, Hunyuan-GameCraft significantly accelerates inference speed, making it suitable for real-time deployment in complex interactive environments. Trained on a large-scale AAA game dataset, the model demonstrates exceptional visual fidelity, realism, and controllable motion, outperforming existing models.
Key Features of Hunyuan-GameCraft
-
High-Dynamic Interactive Video Generation: Generates high-dynamic game video content from a single image and prompts, allowing real-time user control via keyboard and mouse inputs.
-
Fine-Grained Motion Control: Maps standard keyboard and mouse inputs into a shared camera representation space, supporting detailed input such as speed and angular control.
-
Long-Term Video Generation: Enables generation of temporally coherent long videos while preserving historical scene information to prevent scene collapse.
-
Real-Time Interaction: Achieves high inference speed with low latency, supporting seamless real-time user interactions.
-
High Visual Fidelity: Trained on a large-scale dataset from AAA games, producing videos with high realism and diverse artistic styles suitable for various game environments.
Technical Principles of Hunyuan-GameCraft
-
Unified Action Representation: Keyboard and mouse inputs (e.g., W, A, S, D, arrow keys) are mapped to a continuous camera representation space. A lightweight action encoder encodes the camera trajectory into feature vectors, enabling smooth motion interpolation.
-
Hybrid Historical Conditioning Strategy: Uses a combination of historical context integration and mask indicators to extend video sequences autoregressively. At each autoregressive step, a historical denoising block guides the denoising of new noise latent variables, preserving scene information and mitigating error accumulation.
-
Model Distillation: Employs a Phased Consistency Model (PCM) for model distillation, compressing the original diffusion process and classifier-free guidance into a compact 8-step consistent model. This dramatically increases inference speed and reduces computational costs.
-
Large-Scale Dataset Training: Trained on over 1 million gameplay recordings from more than 100 AAA titles to ensure broad coverage and diversity. Fine-tuned with a carefully annotated synthetic dataset to enhance accuracy and control precision.
