@DaProduca Oh that’s a good question. I was thinking so. From what I recall there was a wait for the GDC Vault

Checking out the Substance Days Expedition 33 presentation. Room is packed!

@pixelfondue @SpenserFX I've seen some cool things : ) Love to hear any use case you have for GSplats.

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@D_AI_VI_d Thank you much!

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

Latest tech experiment using a hybrid approach of hand animating and AI motion transfer. Using Seedance for motion transfer from my video to character. Hand animated the skateboard in Ae. All input using my art and even getting my old self to land a few kickflips for reference🛹

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@D_AI_VI_d Do you have a workflow you could share? Been trying to figure out how I can use SCAIL.

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@D_AI_VI_d Yes! Thank you much

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@D_AI_VI_d Thanks! So SCAIL is only used for one frame, not the whole video.

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@D_AI_VI_d Couple of questions. What was the T2I setup for generating that first frame? What was the SCAIL input, a photo or a video?
Did you do any manual cleanup between SCAIL and LTX? Thanks!

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@D_AI_VI_d Are you using Comfy? My issue was SCAIL using a human skeleton mapper and my non-human proportions were messing it up. I was trying to drive a full pose transfer. Did you use it on a single frame?

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@kvickart Thanks! Much appreciated

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@cgpov Blind skateboards, but I also just picked up an Andy Anderson deck!

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@bitcloud Thanks much!

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@D_AI_VI_d Thanks much! I was giving this a try with SCAIL to start but couldn't get it working through Comfy. Let me know if you get a working solution. SCAIL was what I wanted to get working

@pixelfondue @SpenserFX @ThatNgonGuy @JoeWilsonEQ1 @nik_vili Love to get some chats going on tools.

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@pixelfondue @ThatNgonGuy @JoeWilsonEQ1 @nik_vili @SpenserFX I'd love to help with that. I have been using Claude a lot for that and built a few Painter plugins. Working on a custom USD Viewer now.

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@pixelfondue @ThatNgonGuy @JoeWilsonEQ1 @nik_vili Ah! So cool! I’d be up for new Fondue videos ; )

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@pixelfondue @ThatNgonGuy @JoeWilsonEQ1 @nik_vili Blast from the past! I was just talking about this the other day and was saying Modo had a rounded edge shader. From what I understand, mental ray had it first and I was saying Modo was able to implement it.

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@ThatNgonGuy @pixelfondue @JoeWilsonEQ1 @nik_vili Thanks so much @ThatNgonGuy I’m a big fan of your work.

[Wes McDermott @The3DNinja]

@cgpov Love it! 🛹
