Why is this down voted? I hate it when people do that and offer no explanation. Totally useless input, even harmful. HN should force comment on down-vote.
Posting like this breaks the site guidelines. Would you please read them? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html One reason that guideline exists is that unfair downvotes frequently get canceled by users who come along, see the situation, and make a corrective upvote. Meanwhile complaints like this linger on in the thread, inaccurate and off-topic—they don't garbage-collect themselves. As an example, I noti…
Yesterday (you can look in my comment history) I ran into a situation where the person doing the down-voting turned out to be basing it on their opinion not fact (after they finally stated their opinion on the matter, which contradicts peer-reviewed research on the topic, I realized why they were down voting: insufficient depth of understanding of the topic) and no one came after them to correct the situation...
Either have people explain why they down-voted or have a Talk page where people can discuss their reasons, complain, etc, behind the scene.

#43Wow, this would change how animation is done completely! If there existed an easy way to create animated character cartoons. It would launch a thousand southpark/rick and morty type of shows. A team with 10k can launch a show.

Why not have a meta discussion like a Wikipedia Talk page so comments like these would have room and critique won't be shut down.

#47It would be cool privacy-wise to have some sort of virtual webcam that could share such an animation rather than what the webcam actually sees.
I am currently using a little setup that uses OpenCV to acquire frames from the real camera, TensorFlow/BodyPix to compute an alpha mask for the foreground (me) and then OpenCV again to transform and composite myself behind news desks and into car infotainment screens and the like, eventually writing it to a virtual webcam I can use from Zoom (over its own virt bg feature this adds the layering and perspective transforms), Jitsi, Teams, etc.
The above looks like another fun thing to add. Time to go full Who Framed Roger Rabbit? ...

Good to know, it's a awesome feature I am surprised I don't see more successful shows made with this on reddit and youtube

On the other hand, I expect a rash of poorly done "explainer" type videos coming.
