To be fair, stop motion animating is fucking time consuming and such an art. Let alone for first person camera views AND third person
Having an AI quickly generate a hand wave motion etc and convert to first person and vice versa would save hours and hours of capping one frame at a time
Most digital animation done by hand isn’t done in the stop motion/frame-by-frame way, It’s done with key frames that are interpolated between. That’s not to say it isn’t still super time consuming (especially when done well).
While I’m not going to slag this dude because I know nothing about him personally, this isn’t a case of it being “time for a revolution” in those aspects, the revolution already fucking happened. Case in point, Embark Studios.

Those pieces were all published 3-4 years ago. Rockstar isn’t going to be taking first steps here, they’re walking in someone else’s footprints.

E: I don’t like getting silent downvotes. Feels like a missed chance to have a totally unproductive flame war with a stranger.
“E”. How much time did you save with that? Three fucking letters and I have to be sitting here trying to figure out what the fuck “E” means. Fuck you, and I hope you take this personally.
Sorry, not much to add to the topic at hand, but I figure that’s not a requirement for a flame war.
Sorry Mr “Terminally Online”, I don’t have the time to write out “edit”! I have a job and a life and my time is valuable, but I wouldn’t expect a simpleton like yourself to understand that.
!just adding to the war, dont mind me!<
I wonder how much things like drift and recursion (ai training on its own data) would have on applications like this. I assume it’s like most and it it would just produce nonsense. But since it would likely result in cuts to the animation staff, I’d think recovery from model collapse would be harder since getting new data takes time, staff resources that would be hard build up while in the middle of development.
