[моё] AI can do in a day what previously required months of slogging
Warning, non‑profile content (read: formally 18+).
Wandering in search of various things led me to the ruins of porn.
(as usual)
The kneecaps that led me from searching for a specific episode “Foster: Home for Friends from the World of Fantasy” to this clip, we’ll leave off‑camera for now. Internet archaeology is not yet a scientific discipline, and outside that discipline this knowledge is unlikely to be useful.
Important is that I stumbled upon something (about 75% 18+), which left me in a state of oppressive contemplation.
Some completely random devil once again stole a free model and generated all sorts of stuff in it...
...but no, something’s off here!
The neural network is obvious at first glance, by the duck‑like face in the first 1‑3 frames and the hand hidden in the butt.
But if for a minute we set aside the AI‑generated‑content phobia, lean back in our chair and watch the video as a video, we can see some amusing things.
This is still not a “fair” 3D‑style render, but it already beats fundamentally similar Chinese imitations made from stretching sprites. Moreover, dry. It’s just half a step away from graphics à la famous tech demo (all of them) from Nvidia. In which a fairy striptease danced, yeah.
The perspective is almost not distorted.
A huge number of highlights, physics tweaks, even reflections are present (which hardly snarls).
Shadows lie a bit crooked – whatever.
There should be another clip nearby, where she gets up from the chair and goes deeper into the room. That’s pure garbage. Doesn’t artifact at all.
I would love to see the tech stack that delivered this result.
The guy (?) clearly pushed for quality and used something non‑trivial for generation.
Yes, he pushed for quality!
Making a metal dummy draw a MOVING latex‑clad female body is not the same as
donald trump cosplayer with clown nose. (no censorship), photorealistic
in Flux 1 fiddling.
In SFM you have to grind this for days without bending, with a gazillion bones for each bouncy/viscous element and their fine tuning.
Actually, I don’t think I’ve seen such physics in Skyrim with the right mods, although they apparently tinkered with polygonal (!!!) clothing and body physics.
The same hypothetical Subverse, not mentioned at night, compared to this short animation looks alternately plastic and wooden. Though they poured money into it, bless them!
Yes, the clip that shocked me is de jure pre‑render.
But the lack of need to run the prompt result through polishing models repeatedly (read: real‑time rendering) separates us only by the generational trauma of its developers normal training of the “core” model on the basics of human existence.
And a bit of equipment.
Not as much as it seems, actually.
Because models now chew poorly annotated data arrays and, based on that data, guess what color each pixel in each frame should be, so those damn leather bags can get away with their incomprehensible Polish prompt.
A model trained with pedagogically sound methods won’t get tangled in this nonsense because understanding semantics with subsequent
storyboarding > outlines > filling > detailing > fixing minor defects
, as expected, should be cheaper than per‑pixel brute force with stages like “oops, six fingers again, start over” and slapping models on top of models just to fix unfixable defects of the base model.
Thirty years ago the cartoons “Reboot” and “Insectoids” looked like some cultural artifact from the distant future.
Now rendering such a sequence in real time is within reach of any laptop, or even (with some skill) a single‑board computer.
If someone hadn’t started the “Money Tree” event (1/2 context), then in thirty years we could be enjoying the physics of all this beauty in real time on no less crappy (by future standards) hardware.
(because the extensive development path has ALWAYS been a dead‑end, since resources are by definition limited without investment in their replenishment)
We’ll see what this yields.
After today’s incident I… am less skeptical.
There will be something to brag about when retiring, yeah…
