CIVITAI / Wildcards

SteadyDancer + SDpose: one portrait + one pose (skeleton)

This workflow uses SteadyDancer as a pose-to-video system designed to preserve the identity and proportions of the reference image, even when the supplied skeleton video contains extreme or stylized movements. Unlike earlier pose-driven pipelines where the character often distorted or snapped to the skeleton, SteadyDancer treats the reference as an anchor and generates motion around it, maintaining facial structure and overall silhouette. A Wan2.1-based accelerated i2v model handles the actual video generation, while the first frame is forced to match the reference image to stabilize identity. This makes the method suitable for characters with unusual proportions—such as chibi figures or robots—without needing pose remapping or heavy preprocessing. In practical use, most of the variation comes from the quality and realism of the skeleton video. Stronger pose strength increases motion but can reduce tracking in extreme sideways rotations, though identity remains intact. When paired with SD-Pose, the system demonstrates that tracking issues are not caused by inaccurate skeletons but by the natural limits of extreme motion. For normal human motion, SteadyDancer produces stable, consistent results in both realistic and stylized outputs, generating full-body completions when the reference lacks lower-body information. Prompts still influence the final appearance—especially when generating imaginary elements like robotic limbs—so guiding text remains useful. Overall, the workflow offers a reliable way to animate a single image with good identity retention and smooth motion, even across diverse artistic styles. 🎥 YouTube Video Tutorial Want to know what this workflow actually does and how to start fast?
