They're siblings with a strained relationship. Heart Shaped Box is playing on the radio. There's discussions where the word 'freak' is being thrown around circumventing directly calling the person with you in the car, a freak.
ended up making a nicole version too cause i thought it would be cute and i'm happy w how they turned out :B if only i had put "dating his mom's therapist" under isaac's standout feature for ds 2023 lol
So it turns out that this system can interpret any 2d image sequence, not just live webcam feeds. I decided to test that by feeding it some animation reference clips. While it's not perfect, I'm quite impressed with how closely it tracks!
The clips are originally from Kevin Parry, which btw has an amazing library for animation reference: https://youtu.be/31VloqP-Fpo?si=LoK72RvGCZtz_OIb
these are just screenshots I grabbed from my friend’s insta but I recently got to show my XR art to a couple of dancers from Switzerland who own a motion-capture studio and it was FASCINATING watching they way they moved as they interacted with my stuff!!
I created a magical forest with floating jellyfish and crystal orbs, and they moved through it with such grace and delicate hand motions that I felt like I could sense what they were seeing even though I was just looking on from outside
Borrleus keeps fireballing the barrels Oleander's looting.
(He changed his class 18 times since, right now he kicks them to shit as Oleander's looting for booze)
i wanna say something small about the whole AI art thing.
in my opinion, AI is not going to take over the art industry. why? because many years ago the exact same thing happened with mocap when it started being used in animation. it got so big that even disney hopped on the mocap bandwagon (it's called aliens need moms and it's one of their worst movies). while it now has a place and a function within the industry, it wasn't the career stopping monster it was made out to be. a small handful of movies that used mocap came out, and the only one that was any good was monster house (although polar express is still an iconic movie).
and while you could argue it's due to the uncanny valley effect, i would argue AI has just as many offputting flaws. and after a few years, how people feel about Mocap has settled down, and i can see the same thing happening with AI.
now this isnt a definitive yes or no to what is going to happen, it's more of a speculation about the past and what is happening now.
whenever i see someone wanting to get into hasu being told to just watch the stories it does get to me like. yes the with×meets arent critical to the plot but if you want to get to know the characters like on a 'personal' level (without the constraint of "needing to do something plot relevant") theyre definitely the best way. you dont want to play the worlds most incomprehensible game of charades with tsuzuri?
