Phenomenal. For what it’s worth, I think this would be a killer app for my phone. My kids would easily spend hours drawing and animating their creations.

I’d pay money for this.

So great to see more work on pose research! My ultimate dream is to have a tool where I can give it a cartoon character and a set of pose photos, and have the tool pose the character in those poses. This feels one step closer to that.

Small anecdote: I discovered the codebase for this project last week and assumed that it had already been advertised and popularised. Apparently that's just happening now.

I deployed the Docker container and got it working fine and I'm already thinking of plenty of cool use cases for the code.

I get the impression that a few startups / apps are going to be launched off of the back of this. A few ideas:

- Animated story book using GPT (I'm working on)

- Animated greetings cards using photos (works really well)

Edit: My bad it has to do with my Adblocker. Its all good now. Cheers Super cool! Thank you for bringing this to the world. Kids are gonna love this. I'm unable to get it running on the web demo unfortunately though :( Post image upload, I'm redirected to https://sketch.metademolab.com/canvas with a blank screen with the grid image. Without any error message, it isn't obvious if the issue is with the images I uploade…

Glad you got it working. And glad you appreciate my sick dance moves :)

:) Can't wait for my 4 year old kiddo to wake up so I can tell her how her drawings come to life in the night and dance around if she behaves haha

Thank you again (and Meta too) for making this happen. This is gonna be put a smile on millions of kids I tell you and make them draw more.

I would pay for that as well. All it needs is some kind of Android app.

Get them one of these. They'll actually get the experience pf animating, broken down into bare terms...

that little toy I had as a kid did more to shape my career as than even hypercard.

FTA (and relevant): > What truly made this the best toy ever made was the amount of patience and perseverance a kid needed to create these animations, just like real animators. This is also why it would later fall from popularity.

Hey! That’s my project! Code and dataset are here: https://github.com/facebookresearch/AnimatedDrawings And a browser-based version of it is here: http://sketch.metademolab.com/

Amazingly good demo. You rock.

Also you're apparently very, very fit and flexible. I pulled a hamstring just watching the dance.
