About

What VerseCrafter is

VerseCrafter: Dynamic Realistic Video World Model with 4D Geometric Control

✨ A controllable video world model with explicit 4D geometric control over camera and multi-object motion.

TL;DR

  • Dynamic Realistic Video World Model: VerseCrafter learns a realistic and controllable video world prior from large-scale in-the-wild data, handling challenging dynamic scenes with strong spatial-temporal coherence.
  • 4D Geometric Control: A unified 4D control state provides direct, interpretable control over camera motion, multi-object motion, and their joint coordination, improving geometric faithfulness.
  • Frozen Video Prior + GeoAdapter: We attach a geometry-aware GeoAdapter to a frozen Wan2.1 backbone, injecting 4D controls into diffusion blocks for precise control without sacrificing video quality.
  • VerseControl4D Dataset: We introduce a large-scale real-world dataset with automatically rendered camera trajectories and multi-object 3D Gaussian trajectories to supervise 4D controllable generation.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys versecrafter for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (versecrafter below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/videos/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"versecrafter","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
