Metahuman Face Rig onto Dead Bob

Today's experiments are to see how to apply the Metahuman Rig Setup to a custom character, in my case Dead Bob. My results are spotty, but I'm making progress. Here is an example with the Mouth and forehead controls transferred ( admittedly pretty roughly ) but I think will work. Just wanted to show how it's going. Next up is eyes. I'm pretty impressed with the transferred deformations

Text-to-Video is the new thing with Gen2!

I've been playing with image synthesis for a year now, mostly around text-to-image. I've created worlds with Midjourney, Dalle, Stable Diffusion, and anything else I could get my hands on. However, recently I was accepted into the RunwayML Gen-2 beta which is a Midjourney style ( discord interface ) prompt-to-video system. It's really exciting to get into and play around, but I tell you it's near impossible to control or get anything that doesn't look contorted and warped. Artifacts of the current iterations of the medium. If early Midjourney had distorted hands.. Gen2 turns that distortion to 11! LOL. Regardless, I love it. I am embracing the artifacts, as I did in the early days of Disco Diffusion and Midjourney. I'm using them as trademarks to the style. It's still very challenging to control composition, cameras, or pretty much anything currently. But with patience and LOTS of iterations you can eek out some useable synthesized footage. To

Playing in Control Rig

Wanted to show some goofing around I've been doing the last few days. Mainly just installing a Control Rig for our Yellow friend here. Dusting off my old rigging chops and seeing what I can still remember from the good ole days. I got a heel-toe setup working, but I'm probably rework it for better control. Overall, Control Rig has been great. Love a node-based rigging system, and happy to have a chance to apply it to a character! Fun stuffs!
