    Save Point 7.4 pipeline update

    Some glimpses at the 7,4 tech of the Save Point pipeline. As it gets more complex and heavy (computationally) updates have been slower. Main takeaways here are a more solid animation format with much less "crawling lines" motion. In this version, I'm starting to split the pipeline into...

    River - a short interactive film experiment

    This is a short interactive film. This one has a specific design, for a specific purpose. It was an excercise in my ability to control scope creep. It was partially successful at that, but I'm actually not crazy about how this video turned out. If you're trying to watch it right now while...

    cgi Fall

    This is sort of a time capsule for future Indietalk visitors. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, we used to have this season called "Fall". It wasn't just a weekend where all the trees died at once like it is now, it was a full length season, often lasting for 6 to 10 weeks. In any case, I made...

    format The End of Formatting work

    - note, this page (indietalk) removes indentations on post for some reason, so the format below looks wrong, but is not incorrect in the source. So yesterday I posted twice in different threads about how you can use Chat GPT 4 to effectively format your screenplays from now on. I thought I...

    cgi Felt Point - a special edition bonus gallery from a parallel universe

    Scenes from the Save Point universe, recreated in felt and needlework, I made this gene morpher so when you flip through tv channels in the game, there can be a kids show on one of them. Tv in Save Point works like it does in real life, sports on one channel, news on another, kids shows, soap...

    Genetic

    Just a little clip show from this minor side project I'm doing to develop some techniques. This might help people understand the concept of the visual genetic. This entire reel, and in fact the whole micro project it's clipped from, are derived from one genetic I created. In this case I named...

    The Key

    I post a lot of videos, and so many now that I'll sometimes just stack them onto a post. But this one is special. This video shows the very core of the Save Point Technology working. The big idea that I've spent years claiming will change everything. I doubt anyone remembers, but starting...

    Missing Videos that I forgot to post

    I've been doing so much stuff lately that I forgot to upload and post some of the videos I made over the last couple of weeks, anyway, here they are. Just dev stuff, but some of it is interesting. Basically the technology is developing so fast that I'm making short films, and they are becoming...

    software-related Setting up the Save Point Social Media Campaign, or How to Quit Working and Start Creating

    Unfortunately for me, it's time to engage the social media landscape. Over the coming few months, I'll be launching the Save Point social media campaign in a big way. It's a tremendous hassle with tons of work involved, but I thought as long as I was slogging through this hellscape, I'd try to...

    Pipeline Timelapse

    This is where I'm at as of yesterday. What is this, 28 months in or something? Work over the last month has been highly effective, and I'm finally getting something close to the original visual look I imagined. What you see here is probably hard to decipher. Looks cool but what does it...

    cgi Save Point Art Gallery

    Over the last month, various innovations and breakthroughs in the Save Point Viz pipeline have rendered me unable to post even a fraction of a percent of the high quality art we're producing. Long story short, I sat and lectured Chat GPT 4 in cinematic design and color theory for days on end...

    Papercuts 1-5

    These are best watched fullscreen, because of the high amount of detail and vertical resolution issues. Made this art last night, kind of a one off, to develop this sub technique of meta conceptual control. I'm hoping to develop a good one for topiaries and dioramas at some point, but...

    Mall

    I think shopping malls would get out of control on the galactic scale. This video was just a quick side project, to refine a technique I'm using for a few shots in the next video. I'm working out a way to use some of these newly available shot types to create kind of a distinct visual language...

    Death Metal Album Covers

    This week I had to stop what I was doing and transplant one of the core brains in the pipeline. It was an important one, and now output quality is improved. During testing, I took the opportunity to make some album covers, in case @indietalk or some of the other metal guitarists need one. If...

    Small Hurricane

    I wasn't around yesterday. Because a small hurricane hit my town. It was...... interesting. I was arguing with a robot about how to draw a proper spaceship, and then all the phones started ringing at the same time, and the town's air raid siren began to blare in the distance. I'd never...

    Julian Sands died, under vague circumstances

    https://deadline.com/2023/06/julian-sands-dead-body-found-confirmed-1235425568/ What I want to know is how come I didn't hear that he disappeared 5 months ago. Seems like that would have been bigger news.

    Save Point Chapter 1 Previs reel

    I didn't bother to do a chonological story here, because this is a throwaway reel, and it's a branching plot, etc. However, you can kind of get some idea of some of the things you might see in the opening chapter of Save Point. The decision was made years ago to make the opening chapter kind...
