lmaooooooo i swallowed it hook line and sinker like i was looking at his hair curls bounce thinking "whoa, she even simulated hair physics that's really cool"
It's actually pretty easy. Most audio editing software can do it. Pitch up or down 12 semitones, move the formants around until it sounds natural.
Even if everything she said was true (this is fake), the idea that all this "replaces visual effects artists" is funny because the list of steps she lists is effectively a week of work for her and involves commissioning several other people and services as well. These tools are supplementing artists, not replacing them. People said the same thing about photography and painting 170 years ago.
Yeah, absolutely. I'm not in the visual effects trade anymore, but its really hard to overstate how many technical aspects and processes it takes to get through this stuff. Automation like this doesn't eliminate artists; it frees them up to focus on the actual art aspect of it all so they can start texturing their character without having to spend hours unwrapping its uvw maps, or start animating it without manually weighting vertices to specific bones gratuitously.
The end goal of all this isn't to get rid of the artist but to give a team of 10 (or maybe even 1) artists the tools they need to produce what it used to take a team of hundreds. In that sense it does eliminate jobs...but frankly that's a tale as old as time and a big part of why we're all communists!
I can see him not being handsome, but calling that face ugly? Tik tok stepped up to the plate of making kids feel bad about themselves in a big way.
That was my first thought as well. Dude looks normal and good. Also it’s a hoax so she just dissed a real person for some bizarre, unnecessary reason. Wtf
Edit: never mind he was obviously in on it, I’m just tired
if it helps this is fake

This is legit good for communists.
It makes it possible to use youtube, tiktok and other video platforms without having to be a masked persona like BayArea415 had to, an action that still gave enough of his facial details (forehead) for people to find a match for his identity.
Genuinely interested in this. Going to play around with it.
EDIT: Annnnnd it's fake but this would still be ACTUALLY GOOD for communists in the new video era of the internet.
If this technology was real fed-provoked school shootings will skyrocket even more
Even professionally done proper mocap can't make animations look that natural yet. Also the motion blur in the 3d modelling software is a dead giveaway.
I'm comprehending these manmade horrors just fine, it's just a skill issue I guess
As has been pointed out this particular instance was fake, but wait until Neural Radiance Fields become mainstream.
NERF like NERF guns?!?!? :dean-smile:
:concerned-confusion: ...NERF is not like NERF guns
I have no idea who that is but it may be a Vinny - they certainly look like a Vincent
