For someone just getting started in the Ai Video space. (I've played with Pika when it first came out for a few days) If I wanted to make a video, where would I get started? It feels like I need to combine so many things to get a few clips

This is basically like facial motion capture for 3D characters but with basically already "rendered" images. Super interesting

Basically a “lite” version of Hollywood mocap feature can be available for the public to use soon. Will greatly help with my current ongoing projects. Neat!

I have never seen or heard of any tech in human history that has evolved this fast. I am looking forward to what the future brings. Keep up the good work, my friend.

We are looking at the mind of the machines and using that mind to take out the thoughts of our own minds because our brains doesn't come with a display integrated.

I have had an app for over 7 years now that’s called Mug Life, that has been able to animate still picture faces with 100 percent custom control, plus you could type in text and make the picture talk.

So we’ll eventually be able to remake entire movies with characters and scenes from different films. Basically complete style transfer, voices included. Weird.

Just tried this on a 3-D cartoon character I made. It's quite beautiful. The biggest issue whether it is more or less costly to do the renders with standard method using Arnold or Redshift or to use this tool. Don't have any A100s lying around, so we need to rent servers in either case. However, it's not only a question of which is cheaper, for high-end production - it is also a question which is easier. Old method: capture audio and ARkit face, paste into Maya or MoBu. Retarget to character. Fix the weirdness - eye flutter, whatever, complete the scene. export/import Alembic for dynamic hair and cloth, recolor, the upload to rendering, download the file, import image sequence to DaVinci, composite. . With LivePortrait: shoot the video, cut into clips, upload, download, import to DaVinci, composite. Much easier.

Thanks for all of your constant, up to date, thorough videos! Props

I've repeated this but it's only a matter of time until Topaz adds some of these things. Like imagine turning 4:3 to 16:9, or black and white to color, or hallucinate missing or broken frames, or whatever. I can see AI completely restoring the missing classic Doctor Who episodes. Reimagining can help with lost media that was "recorded on a toaster".

You can do a lot with Upscayl. And there are comfyui setups that do some of the things you mentioned, probably all of them, but they are either very slow or you need a very beefy gpu. I’m weary of Topaz, because you just never know how long they stay with perpetual licensing. I’m very uncomfortable with a thousand subscription services. But Topaz is definitely pricy for the full suite.

Man I really like what LivePortrait is bringing to the table, great step in the right direction! EMO and Vasa-1, etc. are exciting ( annnd slightly frightening), but LivePortrait's full control is a much needed controlled step in the right direction. Not hating on anyone who wants to re-roll lip-sync until their eyes bleed, but it's easy to undervalue just how vital highly intentional acting is with timing, delivery, pauses, and all the complexities that go into a captivating performance to make you care. Do you think this likely leads to a solution that auto-composites a LivePortrait 2d facial animation onto a Viggle, Domo type motion capture to wrap a full character performance in a bow?

There was Avatarify quite some time ago. It animated images in real time but it was really bad at generating head sides.

This AI stuff is making me rethink going to art school.

@TheoreticallyMedia

Ай бұрын

Art school grad here, and I’ll say: don’t stress it too much. Art school is a great time, soak it up and create/learn as much as you can. To be a bit harsh, the diploma is useless when you get out. It’s really all about taking what you learned and applying it to building your career. Network, grow your portfolio. Don’t be a jerk to other artists (they may get you your next gig), and just keep going… Doing the art thing is like choosing life on “hard” mode, but it’s also how a lot of us are wired, and you won’t be really happy unless you’re creating. AI stuff can help you with some of it. But don’t worry about it taking a job from you. Lean in and learn how to use it…and that actually might help you land a gig. Final piece of advice for art school: invest in a French press. You’ll be drinking a lot of coffee, might as well make it the good stuff.

This is incredible. I have normally kept a hard stance in not using AI because as a creative designer, it feels like losing control of creativity. But, just the other day, I softened my stance. I have a project that will require multiple speaking parts. I don't have a large budget for hiring voice actors. So, I stumbled upon text-to-speech and text-to-speech AI generation that blew my mind. I was able to alter the delivery of the voice over based off of my own vocal audio; and it worked for Male and female voices. My work pipeline instantly expanded! But now this! The mocap translation is incredible. I could find a use for this without surrendering everything to AI.

ZARA CHEN: [voice shaking] Captain... according to our star charts... we're in the Andromeda Galaxy. [Gasps and murmurs from the crew] DR. SHARMA: Impossible! We've traveled over 2.5 million light-years in an instant! CAPTAIN REYES: [gravely] Crew of the Odysseus, our mission has changed. We must find a way back to Earth. [Soft beep of the ship's computer] A.I. AURORA: Captain Reyes, based on our current propulsion capabilities, returning to Earth would take approximately 100,000 years. LT. CHEN: [despairingly] We'll never make it back... CAPTAIN REYES: We can't give up hope. There must be advanced civilizations in this galaxy. We'll find a way. [Inspirational music begins to build] NARRATOR: And so began the Odysseus's quest to return home - a journey that would push the boundaries of science, test the limits of human endurance, and uncover the secrets of a strange new galaxy. [Music swells] DR. SHARMA: Captain! I'm detecting an artificial structure on a nearby planet. It appears to be... some kind of ancient alien gateway. CAPTAIN REYES: This could be our ticket home. Prep the landing team. Our greatest adventure is just beginning... [Music reaches a crescendo, then fades] NARRATOR: "Andromeda's Call" - A tale of hope, discovery, and the unquenchable human spirit.
