#WritingWonders 8.04: Pics of SCs

I have quite a lot of visual materials for my SCs, but for this post, I'm just going to focus on my two favorites: Aaron Robinson (who has been the subject of the last few WW prompts) and Maryanne Harper (who I've mentioned in months past).

I'll post a piece of concept art and a model made in #unrealengine's #MetaHuman for each. I did the illustrations in 2017 or so, and the models are form 2021 (Maryanne) and 2022 (Aaron).

Not a big fan of this.

This is taking jobs from writers.

The only possible solution is if the writers write every possible thing the AI could say and train the LLM against that.

But, still...

Watch this Nvidia demo and imagine actually speaking to AI game characters https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/28/23740908/nvidia-ace-demo-voice-ai-npc-game-characters

#WritingWonders 7: What does your MC look like?

This is Elizabeth Harper. The rendered images of the character were done using #Metahuman /#UnrealEngine, and are early test renders for a project that may well never get off the ground. The illustration is from one of my planning/iteration periods, and was included because of the bandanna. Elizabeth is hardly ever seen without her red bandanna.

#MetaHuman Animator: Humanos Digitales de Alta Fidelidad

For the prototype v 0.0.6 of metAI I implemented a web app with which you can record your speech through a smartphone. So users can use their own device to communicate with metAI.
I solved it with url parameter, so you just be able to communicate if you are physical near the metAI. After idle the actual session ends and a new begins.
Since metAI Voice is a web app you never need to download or install anything.

STT is implemented but did not work so far.
If this also works then the prototype is ready.

Pamatujete si jak jsme před dvaceti lety mluvili o fotorealistické grafice?.. No tak teď to pomalu začíná být pravda. Nová ukázka technologie Unreal Engine 5 a Metahuman vypadá skvostně. Hellblade 2 bude asi zážitek.

The Verge: “#Epic’s new #MetaHuman Animator might be a big deal for video game animation”

> Epic will soon let you animate your MetaHumans. The company first launched the MetaHuman creator tools in 2021 as a way of streamlining the process of making more realistic human characters

iPhone capture‽

#EpicGames ha mostrato il nuovo motore grafico di Unreal 5.2 alla #GameDeveloperConference2023. Aumenta ancora di più la resa grafica dei dettagli.

Ecco la demo: https://youtu.be/-lkEOEEKYD0

Inoltre ha presentato la tecnologia #MetaHuman per animare il volto dei personaggi usando il #FaceID di un #iPhone. Il risultato è impressionante. Sembra di utilizzare una #Memoji evoluta.

Stray Souls bude psychologický horor od studia Jukai, který se chce inspirovat u klasik tohoto žánru, jako je série Resident Evil, nebo Silent Hill. V traileru se můžeme podívat na hlavního hrdinu, který ale zatím nepůsobí zrovna přirozeně. Hra přitom používá technologii Metahuman...

Been listening to Deepak Chopra. We are all one. The edges that define objects and separates us from others are only what we perceive with our senses. That we should realise that we are the universe encapsulated in a bag of skin and bones. 50% Milky Way and 50% the rest of the galaxies, I think he said. Which is why we can be limitless, if we can only get past the creative limitations we impose on ourselves. #source #metaphysical #metahuman

Rigging complete. All it took was me wasting time for WEEKS and @jeffweston to sit down for 8 minutes. Sigh. #UnrealEngine #MetaHuman #Animation

Uncanny. #UnrealEngine #MetaHuman of me is insane! Getting ready for some SERIOUS #VFX shots for the next episode of #Cat5TV and I didn't want to get hurt, so we had to bring in the "digital doppelganger"!
