This is incredible! Fantastic presentation and easy to follow code.
You're the first stranger to ever compliment my coding style. I feel all warm and fuzzy now.

Re: Animated Drawings
#72This is amazing! It's a bit buried in the repo readme files, but the author @hjessmith used Rokoko Video [1] to create the animation files (BVH) from a phone video. Then he used Animated Drawings to make the drawings replicate his motion captured from the video. Both Rokoko and Animated Drawings were new to me. I know what I'll be doing with my kids all weekend! Thanks for sharing the project. [1] https://www.rokoko.…
Completely tangential point - Rokoko Video is fine for a free tool, but if you need something better and you're willing to pay, there are other options. I spent a couple of days evaluating various video-only mocap and in the end went with DeepMotion. Rokoko Video wasn't very reliable (at one point I was standing perfectly still, but it thought I was on one leg twirling like a ballerina). Although it's very expensive,…
It looks like DeepMotion has a free tier. Did you just need more credits or is there some additional feature only available on the paid tiers?

#73I hate to say it, but I think this could have a great application in horror games.

#74This is a great project and it was fun playing around with it. When Meta started discussing this in 2021, the HN sentiment [1] was quite...cautious, making connections to how Meta can't be trusted with kids drawings. Has something changed? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29580619
If I had to guess it's because this one is unbranded and released as open source

Get them one of these. They'll actually get the experience pf animating, broken down into bare terms... https://the80sand90s.com/articles/etch-a-sketch-animator 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.…
That thing seemed really cool, but even at the time I passed on it because there was no way to save your work externally.
Yeah, the limited memory was a shortcoming. Still, in a way, that made it more in line with the notional paradigm of the Etch-A-Sketch... doing the drawing is the fun, but eventually you have to erase it and start over.

The free tier only gives you 60 seconds of animation per month, and also isn't licensed for commercial use. Even for a hobbyist, 60 seconds wont go far!

#77Hey! 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/
Great work. Online comic strips are going to be next level!
Re: Animated Drawings
#78Very cool tech and amazing dance! :) We are working on a startup ( https://dibulo.com ) which provides children an off-screen coloring experience combined with a digital reward. We have so many ideas and using pose-estimation is one of them. Definitely gonna play around with it!
Love the idea. Feel free to reach out if you think there’s room for collaboration.
Re: Animated Drawings
#79this is amazing. how about animating live from a video stream in AR :D?
Sounds awesome! Let’s do it.

This is really a fun project! Is it actually possible to use the code and create an app for sale out of it. The MIT license says so I think, just wondering if anything else would speak against it.
I'm working on an app called Monstdraw.com that uses this code if you're interested in collaborating? My email is in my bio.
I’m curious to learn more.
