Here's how the animation works in @DuckLaserDuck.
The 2d sprite is rigged with bones in Unity3D. The bones are then used to animate the sprite with keyframes.
I use animation layers to allow the head and body animations to play in sync. One for the body+limbs, and one for the head+beak.
I also track the neck bone to the mouse with a script that simply rotates it to face the cursor.

@ReaseStoneheart@Naglfar94Games Directing a person and directing an AI are not all that dissimilar apart from one requiring empathy. The machine is harder to direct. The machine has developed skills via gradient descent and reinforcement learning over billions of text, image, and audio samples but still flawed.
@ReaseStoneheart@Naglfar94Games A director who tells his cameraman to point the camera a certain way for the shot isn't doing anything? I think a good director is key to having a successful movie.
@ReaseStoneheart@Naglfar94Games You have to think of what needs to be done and tell the machine to do it for you. That's literally what machines are for. Are mathematicians who use calculators inferior?
@ReaseStoneheart@Naglfar94Games If you want a 3/4 angle for a character, you have to know what that is and that it's the right thing you want. One has to specifically detail what they want, which requires knowing the skill. This applies for AI coding and every other field too. At least for the moment.
@ReaseStoneheart@Naglfar94Games I go to locations and carry machines with me to go eat I don't get the point of saying that like it's some special skill. You still have to understand what you're doing to get AI to be useful or do exactly what you want, much like you have to know where to point a camera
@ReaseStoneheart@Naglfar94Games Me: has to paint a beautiful landscape with years of practice and dozens of hours of labor
You: Just walks outside and takes a picture on your camera you watched a 10 minute tutorial to set up
What's the difference?
Composition and design skills are also required with AI.
@Asmongold@HasanabiProd Race is genetic so you're saying their genetics lead to them committing more crime. (Which is not necessarily saying inferior, but same concept)
@ReaseStoneheart@Naglfar94Games Your camera needs a factory that uses dangerous chemicals, takes up space, uses power, etc. Paint, same thing.
Your camera also can only take pictures... Apples to oranges and they all consume resources.
@PrdAmerican1@danielsgoldman A rich elitist, friends with a man who ran a pedophile ring, that's the leader of the most powerful country and you're just gonna ignore it? Okay sheep
@PrdAmerican1@danielsgoldman He's literally the president of the country I live in, he started a war that raised my gas prices +$1/gal. I buy gas often, and live in America every day. I see people with Trump stickers on their cars every day so no shit I think about him and all the shit he's fucking up
@DarbiHacke19054@skscartoon@elonmusk Read his own book, and believe his own words about whether his kids like him? When the only one who talks publicly about him really dislikes him, and he tweets from a burner that claims to be his toddler son.
