Hi all.
At the  suggestion of veteran  forum member Bassline303, I am starting this thread to discuss  the many new innovations in the world of AI assisted animation ,voice generation, mocap (for Iclone etc) image generation for backgrounds, images( for CTA 4,5) faces for headshot.
to start here is a short list of the many tools I am using.
By AutoDidact - Last Year

Here is a great vide showcasing some of these tools so you can decide if  any might be useful to your  Iclone /CC4/ CTA, workflow

By StyleMarshal - Last Year
Great AutoDidact ! 👍

I will post any AI stuff here !

😁

Here is a very simple example of how AI tools can be useful with Cartoon animator.
The background is an AI generated image that I loaded up to: 
The AI converted the image to a depth mapped version with slight animations that you can teak on the X,Y,or Z axis and download as mp4.

Dropped some canned motions on this girl ,in CTA ,in front of a  a green background in the scene to be removed later in Davinci fusion compositor(FREE version)
I jumped over to :
and asked the FREE AI to create me 
a thumping 1980’s style dance club track
(Royalty free) Literaly 20 minutes of “work”

Cool forum, AD. 
I myself have been lost to the Ai matrix as of late, many cool opportunities arose.
But here was my try at using Stable Diffusion a few months back to re-render an earlier video, but it flickers crazily.
I think it can only take us so far, mostly quick stuff, so iClone, UE, Unity, C4D, Blender etc are still bosses of creation!

(original post, but all vids are below)
https://forum.reallusion.com/FindPost534587.aspx

iClone 


Stable Diffusion




And then these were just some quick random Ai things I had made:

Was singing to Bassline about the Control Rig he was working on in UE


Was asking Bassline about the Control Rig in the style of Charly


Awarding Bassline the Path Tracing Excellence Award




By StyleMarshal - Last Year
@Tony 😂😂😂  ,  the Charly Video is my absolute favorite , we miss your jokes !

Stable Diffusion is a beast and it will be possible soon to get flicker free Videos out of it :  https://www.instagram.com/p/CsWEyZYquzj/

And it will render faster and faster : https://youtu.be/r-ZYOlZTLDA

😀

BTW , an UE5 "AAA" CR is coming , but it is still a secret 🤪


By AutoDidact - Last Year
Great, thank you Autodidact for the thread,
Sure thing Charly!!
It seems like less than a year ago we were 
bemoaning the lack of computer generate voices
for us lone operators and now we have many to choose from that are actually convincing.

I am still waiting for my access to wonder studio:crying:

BTW if you ever need to create a quick talking head animation without firing up acculips and tying up your machine with an animation render  etc.
you can create a high quality still render and use it in Heygen free for on minute per day.
This girl is actually a Daz Character Iray still render ,uploaded to Heygen and comped in Davinci fusion with the other AI imagery
her voice is from my one year sub over at voicemaker.ai

I guess then that on the left is the original and on the right the AI render?

If so, I notice that the hair looks more "hairy" in the AI render. There is also an interesting change in the mouth:

Correct !

AI Rendering works different , not as IRay or Arnold for example. There is no need to build shaders, all you have to do is to train a model with pictures.
Most celebrities are already trained , so if you want to render yourself you have to train 10-15 pictures of yourself. Training takes about 20-30 min on a 4090.
Now you can take IC8 animations / Videos , pictures sequences or stills to use it as source for the AI to render the trained model. You can influence the strength of the AI via sliders ( called Denoiser).
There is so much more to come ... crazy times ! It will be possible to AI render old IC animations you did 5 years ago into photoreal or fantasy anime styles very soon. ( flicker free )
By AutoDidact - Last Year
Once we get coherent full body animation with 3D camera moves, from AI, I may  start making feature length movies again.
chatGPT has already become vital to my story ideas and dialogue.
I am really enjoying producing my micro series of “one minute stories”
Also if you would like to make some fun singing animations for your Iclone or CTA characters
check out voicemod.
you can quickly produce a base track
and download the singing vocals separately( for acculips etc.) and do your final music “mix” with a free tool like audacity.

Here’s a native Iclone toon render with an AI generated background

By Kelleytoons - Last Year
Yeah, I've been playing with Wonder as well, but as I suspected, this isn't going to be any sort of replacement for mocap suits.  The basic issue will be cost - while they provide you a few minutes "free" once you start doing anything significant it will actually be MORE expensive than a PN3 suit.

Plus I'm having zero luck getting it to work - I haven't spend a lot of time on it, but overall I'm not impressed.  I think this thing is at least five years away from being solid, but also a decade away from being suitable for anyone who doesn't make a living doing this stuff.

Certainly an interesting proof of concept of things to come.
However its focus seem to really be CG character replacement/inserts into live action footage which is something  have ZERO Interest in doing
as I work strictly in CG environments.
At any rate there will certainly be more competing “mocap from video” AI programs appearing on the scene very soon.
Maybe in Iclone 9 LOL:D.

For my part, I'm waiting for their pricing. If it's too much expensive, I'll never subscribe on it (I hate subscription) If it's still affordable for me, I'll take it. I love the fact it let me have a very good facial animation and body mocap animation. One thing I won't do is spend much money in expensive  suit knowing there's good alternative (FOR ME) coming. And I'm lucky, it works like a charm for me.
By AutoDidact - Last Year

I agree completely Charly, wether its wonder dynamics or any other accessible video to mocap solution I would certainly not invest thousands in a mocap suit unless I was a major commercial studio with professional performers creating motion data for the Game dev or movie industry.
Hopefully these AI mocap solutions will
allow a “pay as you use model” like many of
these amazing new AI based voice generation services

1. Let AI create your environment
2. Download the 360 picture
3. Covert it to HDRI 32 bit ( I used Photoshop )
4. Add it to your DCC as HDRI (I used UE5) IClone should work too.

So it would appear the the parent company of Daz inc, Tafi has embraced the future with a generative AI avatar creator.
It appears to export to the major 3D programs and game engines as well as Daz studio of course.
No details on what kind of rigs it exports and how usable they are in the target apps
but I am keen to see more details.

hi all, portuguese video :). Works only for final english language audio. You pick 5 models of the same voice (any language) for training AI, them you write or paste the english text and the AI made the magic. Dont tried yeat, but think is a good option for who dont have native english and need record it or either use to training a woman voice

Originally I was hoping for an AI system the could consistently “restyle” my
my rendered (Blender, Iclone etc) frames into another style.
I see several people in the Daz even the poser community wanting the same thing.

However  now I see this is frankly a “Clinging to the old ways” mindset that will not be part of what these new system are offering.
the Brutal fact is that (much like still art) these AI animation systems are seeking to REPLACE the old production methods entirely which includes our 3D software because soon it will create CG animation Faster, cheaper and with no 3D/CG experience required, just as it has done with still art & illustration.

LOL - and if you believe THAT I have some land here in Florida I'd like to sell you (I realize this is a very particular American joke and - let's face it - something that younger people won't get - so let me make this clear.  AI animation will in no way EVER replace "regular" animation, just exactly as AI has NOT replaced art and illustration or text.  AI is just... a very, very poor trick.  Whether it will get better in my lifetime I have no doubt, just as I have no doubt it will never replace people making art).

Spoken like a true luddite..sigh
You sound like those people back in 2002 who were convinced that mocap “would never replace” hand keyed animation.
Exactly how much time have you spent hand keying walk cycles in Iclone since getting your precious PN suits??

Or the people who saw the annoying Jar Jar binks in Star wars EP1 and swore full CG characters interacting with live actors will “never” be thing (Umm.. Benjamin button anyone ??..Thanos etc etc.??)

If you read what I actually wrote you would see that I said the the CREATORS of the various AI systems are not actually targeting users of existing software & methods as they are creating a new demographic of users how have NEVER used Daz, Iclone or Poser, Blender ,maya to make pretty pictures of people places or things. or never took a writing class or took voice lessons
And yes many Daz users are openly admitting that  the still image AI tools have REPLACED Daz studio for their portraits and pin ups.
and DAZ has responded

Sure the full original ANIMATION side of generative AI is still in the horrible, incoherent creepy stage .thus useless...for now.
however tools like wonder studio is a technology that
will definitely compete with Rokoko and perception neuron and likely supplant it as it matures.


You are free to believe that generative AI is
“AI is just... a very, very poor trick”
But the Hollywood writers guild does not share your confidence
Nor does every freelance artist with a twitter/Reddit/Facebook account.
I appreciate Peter&co allowing us forward looking animated filmakers to have this important discussion
about leveraging voice, environmental asset and other AI tools  here. 
However if you feel it is not a discussion worth having perhaps this is NOT a thread for you.

Indeed We are entering a time where story and narrative
will become even more important than ever because the act of creating the visuals become easy to the point where the visuals become disposable.

But lets not let the luddites crawl out of their myopic, reductive little boxes and hijack our thread .:rolleyes:

Back on topic ,Here is another free website that makes talking head videos from still images  what makes this one notable is that they have some pretty decent free voices you can “harvest” to use in Acculips or CTA.

You can only voice 300 letter characters per “take” but you 
can do at least 20 “takes” per video and combine the audio offline later.
I even figured out a, way over on my old 2017 Imac,  (with an audacity plugin), to get a clean capture of the voices in the preview stage with having to even produce the final video.
Here is a video I made with Artflow using one of their provided voices and Avatars.
   

And here is another one of their voices
in my current Iclone native feature film project (now 24 minutes long BTW) 
(the prisoners final monologue)

This doesn't look like it has to do anything with AI except the voiceover and the name. 😁

The AI buzzword is used more and more inflationary as times go on.

If this is AI powered then Endorphin from 20 years ago was AI powered too, which it wasn't.

Today it seems like as soon as the program has some kind of conditional instructions,  which basically every program has, it is automatically AI powered. 🤣

I actually agree that the term AI is being over used but I am hopeful that it literally “melts” into the vernacular and disappears so that we can just enjoy exploring new technologies without people getting emotionally triggered by the term AI this or AI that.
I truly don’t care wether something meets the granular definition of “AI powered” etc.

I only care if it makes my work/hobby easier and faster because in todays instant gratification society you get no credit/page views/subs for time spent in the creative process only for the impression it makes in the first few seconds people view it.

Interesting that you mention Endorphin as I have it installed on my two oldest Win7 laptops and just had a DM exchange today with someone on twitter who was desperately trying to find a legal copy of Endorphin to make ragdoll sims for his Blender rigs. ( he wont of course).

I have taken the guys over at Cascadure to task on twitter for their claims about it being “AI powered” and not because I care
so much about policing the term “AI” but because here nearly 20 years later no one ,outside the gaming development space, seems to 
care about that aspect of Character animation like this 
Unity dev does.

It looks like they automatically assemble the created world out of premade assets or building blocks, then create a depth mesh and project the textures onto it from the center point. Could be useful for very small movements such as in movies, like you already mentioned. But this isn't really useful for anything else.

I am already using the 360 skyboxes from Blockade labs for my current Iclone anime film and it is a tremendous time saver.

Correct , as lower the "Denoiser" as more accurate it is , there are way more possibilities with control net but it works fine without.

When typewriters were invented, many writers refused to use them because they were inauthentic to the writing process. The same thing happened with the word processor. In the late 70's, when personal computers were gaining widespread adoption, the rumor went around that we'd all have 3-day work weeks (because the computers increased our efficiency so much). Lol, they didn't count on the  one thing more reliable than death and taxes: human greed. If my work force is twice as efficient, I'll just pay them the same for 2x the production!
AI is not going to replace any artist, but it will become a useful tool for all artists. The only people truly foolish enough to believe AI will replace humans in the creative process are studio executives. Technology is neither good noor evil: it takes a human for that.

I noticed they are suddenly flooding youtube with videos.
Even without such restrictive licensing , They  are going to have the same problem that Daz,(and frankly Reallusion) has to a certain extent.
ENTRENCHED habits and reluctance to enter/learn a different eco system to create characters.


After over two years of trying to introduce the FREE Iclone Blender pipeline tool and the FREE Diffeomorphic Genesis to Blender addon , 
to the wider Blender community,I have come to the conclusion that users of the major 3DCC & game engines only want their characters/assets delivered in native formats.


It really does NOT matter how good your characters look or how seamless you make you export plugin.
you will only ever get a tiny fraction of those user bases to buy into your software and they are typically people who were already familiar with your( or using) ecosystem in the first place.

Now sure.. the PROFESSIONAL Game dev community uses Autodesk Maya & MOBU for Character creation and animation
but again..ENTRENCHED habits and industry employment expectations/requirements.

Best wishes to DNA block but they better have a very affordable pricing scheme and marketing plan to capture the tiktok generation of casual lay persons because to pros will likely see this as just another Daz/poser/Iclone/SFM knock off.
    

By StyleMarshal - Last Year
Yeah , I guess they are aiming to VTubers or TikTokers with no or less experiences in 3D but also advanced users.
Suits and IPhone live input streaming.
BTW , the engine under the hood is UE. 


By AutoDidact - Last Year
Yeah , I guess they are aiming to VTubers or TikTokers with no or less experiences in 3Dbut also advanced users.Suits and IPhone live input streaming.



And that is the thing. Vtuber Avatars are overwhelmingly
cartoon /anime style characters and if you check out any of those tutorials you will find they have their own eco system of software to create deploy their Vtube avatars for streaming:
for Face tracking:
For broadcasting:
 
Now I am certain you could use Reallusion Cartoon animator to make a custom anime style Character and use the live face software with OBS studio to live stream a CTA character on twitch or wherever, but nobody in the Vtuber community would bother migrating to the Reallusion system just to replicate what they are already doing in the comfort bubble of their  existing community.


BTW , the engine under the hood is UE.



Again, nobody cares..the hardcore AAA game devs are using Maya & Mobu.
The casual UE enthusiasts already have the Metahumans with the new Metahuman animator. they have Zero incentive to buy into  yet another character eco system if all it does is create more talking walking etc people.

BTW not trying be argumentative or knock any companies marketing efforts 
However on the 3D side, if you look at NVIDIA omniverse it seems NIVIDIA already understands what I have seen for years.
Stop trying to get people to leave their beloved Creation eco systems and give them a UNIVERSAL Agnostic rendering system ( via USD) that requires them to Buy your GPU hardware
or cloud rendering services.
Generative AI has pretty much done the same, the big difference being that it supplants alot of still image creation software
with its many subscription models for 2D Still art creation.
How long before AI animation gets as good as AI still image generation  is anyones guess.
New paradigm ahead for certain though.

Yeah its not great but  the anti AI crowd always
celebrate the flaws of early rough concepts as though the tech will freeze forever right here.
just as many animators/actors acted like Jar jar binks was the Eternal pinnacle of CG characters 20 years ago
Give this a further three years and ..wow!!

I am impressed with the ability to auto-generate the song (chords, rhythm, instrument selection, etc.) but the lyrics/melody have terrible syncopation to the song -- I couldn't stand to listen to more than the first verse or so.  Like you said, it will improve with time, but I'm not really interested in listening to AI-generated songs, now or in the future.
By planetstardragon - Last Year
im really enjoying working with AI and am starting to think that in the future,  it will sift the generic from the truly creative.  Coming up with a unique idea in writing, music and art, will hold more value than just an npc clicking a button that can be automated by computers.  Maybe the right people are justifiably concerned with this new era in tech. :w00t:

Reality is all in your mind.

You know what would be cool in iClone as well... An AI VoiceChanger...
i.e. record your voice and have it easily changed to suit the character and environment you're animating.

Another example of how the world of AI animation is it’s own ecosystem while the 3D world can also leverage to new AI tech to free us from:
Ridiculously expensive mocap suits
Ridiculously expensive Depth cams for facial.
Hiring voice actors.

Also I see no mention of integration with existing character eco systems
which will be very important to people who will want to know how easy ( or difficult)
it will be to use this tech with their character eco systems.

I would be nice to see since video made with Sora where Will Smith eats spaghetti. The selected demos are only showing very simple things compared to that, in my opinion. Only persons or animals doing simple activities like walking or staring without emotions, a camera moving through static environments, mostly in slow motion.

I don’t think the Sora AI can do really complex thing ..YET.
but I look at it in the context of how it's coherency compares to that frighteningly horrific will smith /pasta video only one year ago.

If you give a “student”
with no original ideas, or experience in telling compelling stories
$300,000,000 to produce a Netflix series with todays technology
it will still be garbage.


Better technology does not always mean better visual entertainment.


Look at unreal engine.


Anyone with a mid to high spec GPU can access UE5 for “filmmaking” yes?
so where are all the GOOD UE5 feature length films from individuals??
The number of people with good ideas and the skills to execute them
AND TELL COMPELLING STORIES is vanishingly small compared to the number of people who have access to the latest tech
 
AI film generation won’t change this except perhaps in genres where story does not matter at all ( Adult XXX rated crap) :crazy:

You can find over 3000 models here. You can sort them by popularity.

I trained some of my own RVC models. It's possible to create screaming or whispering voices and so on. But you need, for example, screaming source material to train the model (I recommend singers of metal bands for this 😅). After that, you can simply change an audio file with a normally talking person to a screaming person because the models doesn't seem to differentiate between speaking and screaming. Only the voice pitch seems relevant for them. That's also why I separate the source material by its kind of pronunciation, so that I have a screaming model and a normal talking model.

Here is a recent tutorial to create videos with a stable looking image with ComfyUI and some add-ons. But you need a source video material (maybe an Iclone animation?). This could be worth a try, if you have enough VRAM.

I watched the tutorial (which need further study on my part before I fully understand it), but one thing I noticed is that you need to provide a prompt, presumibly to describe the scene. Also, the example was a simple scene so I wonder how it would work on something more complex, also with respect to the prompt.

I currently use post-processing of iClone renders in After Effects to get sort of a cartoon look, so this would be of interest to me. I tried some other "AI" methods, but frame-to-frame consistency is still a big hurdle.

To get a better image stability it's probably a good idea to use a source video without a background but instead having a single color like green or blue, to be able to remove the background later with a greenscreen effect or bluescreen effect.

The same can be said of the “Artist” raging against AI as well.

it is usually a matter of trying to maintain market scarcity to give monetary value to their “products”
or the  more emotional/ego satisfaction of believing they are part of some elite rarified group providing “culture” to the unwashed masses.

Ive been following this "AI" thing for over 20 years when i began developing a software for creating music from nothing.
Though the years people became able to "make music" with one mouseclick, now we got "AI" on every corner.
Anyone will shortly be able to create anything by just one mouseclick. This is sad because those who put their creativity and knowledge into this universe
would not further be honored like those who click on a button sitting on a sofa in front of a cheap PC.
On the other hand this opens even more creative horizons for those who are rather experts. Wonder where this is gonna end.

Just a quick tip
in case you are not aware.
ChatGPT has five FREE quality  AI voices(male & Female) that will read its responses out loud,
 they can’t  strong do emotional inflection but are great for straight video talking head narrations for tutorials etc
or some subtle acting and they do have obvious inflection changes for exclamation points and question marks.



You just prompt chatGPT to “repeat the following text verbatim”(paste your dialogue)
Now you can’t download the audio from ChatGPT but there are ways to easily record it from your browser.

Regular people with advanced AI will soon be able to produce their own films.
they can fund and market the films themselves via youtube ,crowdfunding etc by fans
and distribute them also without any need for the hollywood system.

Sure Hollywood has the money to buy better access to the tech but youtubers are already competing with
(even crushing) traditional news media companies for news and commentary without using AI .

Soon regular people ,with new fresh ideas and AI  ,will be able to compete with hollywood films and build their own fanbases of millions of people just as many youtubers have already done.

It will be a long time before indy films (with a intersting storyline) rival Hollywood in revenue.
That will change when the public no longer goes to the Theatre.




Once AI improves in few years indie filmakers won’t need to rival Hollywood in revenue because they can be made without $260 million dollar budgets  that still produce utter crap like “the Marvels” or “Madame web”.
and movie theaters are already dying as more people just wait for streaming or Pirate the stream versions.
Also I am not just talking about people making movies as a commercial business.


I mean laypeople making their own bespoke entertainment content
just as they are doing now with AI art generators.


Once the AI movie tech gets good enough for people to make their own Star Wars or Indiana jones at home they wont need Hollywood for entertainment. 


Just like we animators no longer need human voice actors like we did a mere two years ago.
or even script writers

I honestly doubt  this tech will ever be ported to “traditional” 3D applications and frankly why would it?.

ALL of the new AI  animation technologies seem to be based on luring people into their NEW eco systems
and extracting value from that, not adapting to the older competing  tech.
Love them or hate them you have to admire how Adobe has not waited for someone over in the 2D Generative AI art sector to Port midjourney or stable diffusion to Photoshop etc
Adobe has developed their own in house or at least bought someone’s AI tech and ported it to photoshop themselves which may extend the life of photoshop as creative tool a bit longer.

But we have to be honest and realize that not every type of software company is going to survive once AI can do in seconds what use to take hours after you invest in a Decent spec PC and learn to model ,UV texture, animate etc etc.
