To be fair, stop motion animating is fucking time consuming and such an art. Let alone for first person camera views AND third person

Having an AI quickly generate a hand wave motion etc and convert to first person and vice versa would save hours and hours of capping one frame at a time

I wonder how much things like drift and recursion (ai training on its own data) would have on applications like this. I assume it’s like most and it it would just produce nonsense. But since it would likely result in cuts to the animation staff, I’d think recovery from model collapse would be harder since getting new data takes time, staff resources that would be hard build up while in the middle of development.

While I’m not going to slag this dude because I know nothing about him personally, this isn’t a case of it being “time for a revolution” in those aspects, the revolution already fucking happened. Case in point, Embark Studios.

Those pieces were all published 3-4 years ago. Rockstar isn’t going to be taking first steps here, they’re walking in someone else’s footprints.
