Very impressive! I suspect I'm not alone among the HN crowd in being curious to know how this AI works; I presume it is some kind of ANN? It's clearly not perfect when compared to rigging and skinning by a skilled artist, but it's pretty good. As someone who has done a large amount of 3D computer graphics myself, I think one would need close to a year of experience to be able to consistently produce something as good…
Its most likely some skeleton building based on distance from skin, probably with some ML model based on trained datasets. Animation looks like basically figuring out which part of the model moves the most based on training data ( legs for humans, wings for anything that has wings, 4 legged vs 2 legged), and then there is some gradient applied based on dynamic relation of mass with body parts reacting to the movement…

#51Sorry, we can't disclose all the technical intricacies, we can share that our approach involves the use of ML models, Neural Networks, and a series of refinement steps to enhance rigging and deliver more refined animations.
