Does anyone know of work towards automatic 3D model generation and, ideally, rigging for animation? It seems like the future, but it also seems like it’s not getting the attention it should.

Re: Using GANs to Create Fantastical Creatures
#22It is very much not working for me. I get a mostly-transparent creature. The opaque parts seem to follow the brushstrokes of my drawing. Maybe it is because it was trained on finely detailed material, whereas my drawing was a coarse doodle.
You have to draw solid regions, not an outline.
I did that and also got inexplicable holes:

Otherwise my clumsy, misshapen caricature turned out surprisingly nice. (I mean, relative to how nonsensical its anatomy is.) The shapes are followed very precisely, so yes, blobby input begets blobby output.

#24Tried to draw Patrick Starr. Got a horrible, horrible monster [1]. 10/10, will definitely be drawing more. [1] https://i.imgur.com/yBDW2gd.png
nailed it

I've been looking for that for the last couple of days and couldn't find much. Great resources linked as comments.
I had found that one myself: https://github.com/mishig25/3d-posenet

There are a lot of moving parts. Sculpting, UV Mapping, Rigging, Skinning, Animation, LODs, Baking, Texturing, engine import, lighting, materials.
A lot of things can be done procedurally, but going from 2d concept to actual working 3D Character in video game is a long jump.
On top of that every game will have very different asset and gameplay requirements.

#27In the future GANs will replace all of human creativity so much so that humans will spend all of their creative outlets on training GANs and using GANs to do the creation for them.
A lot of AI/ML technology is (inherently?) self-reinforcing (think product recommendations), so your prediction is not wrong.

#28Can we look forward to a Netrunner card generator? :) GAN-generated art, name and flavor text, a perhaps more structured rules engine for the card type and behavior, and AlphaZero to play the card in a deck against itself a few thousand times to tune the balance.
Man, I was really hoping to be the first to pull the trigger on that. But if I'm being honest with myself: I ain't gonna be putting in the time to learn to tensorflow.

Upon looking at the image, I immediately hear him talking in my head.
Re: Using GANs to Create Fantastical Creatures
#30It seems like the drawing has to be very well drawn in order to get decent results.
I agree, my attempt did not yield results anywhere near the examples: https://i.imgur.com/cZUBWzH.png
