    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    Now I understand what you meant by pipelines in your previous posts. ComfyUI. I'm a little familiar with control nets from using invoke.ai. I'm not trying to go for photo realistic humans. Mainly because it actually creeps people out when something looks too realistic, but something seems...

    An animated AI Scene created from static images using audio as the primary input.

    Thanks, the background removal from the hedra videos was really challenging. I tried using a blue and green checker background when making the videos since any solid color always ended up with random artifacts that was giving me problems. I actually maxed out the despill to get it to this...

    An animated AI Scene created from static images using audio as the primary input.

    I like to push the envelope a little. This video was created using hedra and invoke ai edited in Davinci resolve. I really wanted to add some action to it, but so far I haven't had much luck. Mostly just simple things like showing the actors walking in and out of the room, sitting down in a...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    I think I'm getting a bit closer. I tried out freemocap today with a single camera: https://freemocap.org/ I used this blender plugin to export the skeleton animation to be able to import into URE5: https://github.com/ajc27-git/freemocap_tools/releases/tag/FreeMoCap_Adapter_v1.5.0 I was then...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    I was trying to figure out if I could stage cameras in the level to record "game play" and use multiple players to act out the scene rather than staging all the animations. For detailed shots like conversations I might be able to use something like those camera tracking avatars and overlay the...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    Your AI music generation sounds like it was pretty cool back in the day. I guess I misunderstood your system. However you have given me some insight into another potential path of development. In my case I wanted to be able to create both a series and CYOA videos. I think for myself a...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    You have an interesting starting point, but I think you are limiting yourself and potential viewer/creator engagement. You could for instance start off with a variety of characters encapsulating most archetypes not just max. Have them all be different, but connected in some way. This gives...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    My interest isn't just in CYOA film making, but it is a part of my interest. I really enjoyed those types of books when I was a kid. I also enjoyed playing some of the older text based RPG's like Dangerous Dave. I also want to be able to create a continuous video series to be able to tell a...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    Very impressive! As far as my abilities, I am a Big Data Engineer in my last position I was processing petabytes of data per hour in the amazon cloud. I have 23 years of programming experience mostly python and javascript, but I have also worked with scala, C/C++, php, bash shell scripting...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    At this point I'm not really trying to make any money from what I create. It would be nice to have some to be able to produce better videos, but I have thought of a few gimmicks I can make use of to get the most out of the YouTube Algorithm. This is one of my unpublished videos I created as...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    The best way I can describe YouTube is that it is an advertiser content mill. The subscribers and likes are meaningless metrics. All YouTube cares about is CTR, viewer retention, and session watch time. Those three things are how they determine the "quality" of your videos. And that is why...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    About a year and a half ago I quit my cushy high paying jobs as a big data engineer and started a YouTube channel with the hopes of producing short films. I had absolutely no filming or editing experience at all and it shows. I've been lurking here for a few weeks and learning a lot. I wish I...
