TL;DR
The paper addresses the gap between visually realistic text-to-video outputs and physically valid motion by introducing MoReGen, a multi-agent, physics-grounded T2V pipeline that translates natural language prompts into executable Newtonian simulations and renders physically coherent videos. It leverages a supervised fine-tuned text-parser, a code-writer, a video-render agent, and an evaluator to form an iterative feedback loop, producing reproducible physics-based videos. To evaluate physical validity, the authors introduce MoRe Set, a 1,275-video benchmark across nine Newtonian phenomena with detailed object trajectories, and MoRe Metrics for trajectory-centric, motion-consistency evaluation, complemented by existing physics benchmarks. Experiments show that state-of-the-art T2V models struggle with physical reasoning, while MoReGen achieves superior trajectory fidelity and coherence, highlighting the need for physics-aware evaluation in video synthesis. The work lays a principled foundation for physics-grounded T2V and points toward future extensions to photorealistic 3D rendering and broader dynamical systems.
Abstract
While text-to-video (T2V) generation has achieved remarkable progress in photorealism, generating intent-aligned videos that faithfully obey physics principles remains a core challenge. In this work, we systematically study Newtonian motion-controlled text-to-video generation and evaluation, emphasizing physical precision and motion coherence. We introduce MoReGen, a motion-aware, physics-grounded T2V framework that integrates multi-agent LLMs, physics simulators, and renderers to generate reproducible, physically accurate videos from text prompts in the code domain. To quantitatively assess physical validity, we propose object-trajectory correspondence as a direct evaluation metric and present MoReSet, a benchmark of 1,275 human-annotated videos spanning nine classes of Newtonian phenomena with scene descriptions, spatiotemporal relations, and ground-truth trajectories. Using MoReSet, we conduct experiments on existing T2V models, evaluating their physical validity through both our MoRe metrics and existing physics-based evaluators. Our results reveal that state-of-the-art models struggle to maintain physical validity, while MoReGen establishes a principled direction toward physically coherent video synthesis.
