    The Witcher 4 - UE 5.6 Tech Demo | State of Unreal 2025

    This thing is really getting impressive. Not just for games but also movies and TV series.

     

    In my ideal version of City of Heroes 2.0 we’d be able to toggle the appearance between various presets, like “fully realistic” or “Bruce Timm” or “manga” or whatever, and I can imagine that sort of thing would be easier with how efficient UE is becoming. More work up front for the designers, of course, but that would be cool.

    Usually AI feels like more of a surrender than satisfaction for me. Maybe it is because I used to commission—wish I still had money to do that—and its easier to get what you want.

    That said, even with kind of funky gun on her back and her just randomly firing into the ground, I kind of love how this came out. This was Chat-GPT. I shared the bio and a screen shot and it had kicked out a cool but cartoony version. I replied "Cool but could you do one a little more photoreal?" and it gave me this. I like it!

    I futzed around with Pixlr and the iPad clean-up and got this. Using one’s finger on a tablet is like painting with a cinder block but it’s okay I guess.

    Defenders is my favorite of these but you did a masterful job on all of them. 🏆

  4. Saw this example on Bing so I thought I’d use it. Replaced the “cat” and “tail” bits with various hero words.

    Set it to custom mode. I hashed out the lyrics for Corpse Queen in ChatGPT and entered them in Suno.


    Oh, I see it now. Thanks! It wasn’t defaulting to Create mode but still had the Create button so I didn’t notice. I’ll give it a go when my credits refill.

    Long time user of suno here: you get unlimited v4 songs for your credits if you do the app and use it but I like the v3 songs better for complex mixes and visualizing vocals to my own lyrics


    I was going to ask, weren’t we able to write our own lyrics for this at one time? Or was I suing a different app?

    I'm back, long story but never mind.  I been peeking at things now and then and I saw this and had to make my own theme for Halloween Girl.

    It's a work in progress trying to get the sound right, but after using all 100 credits in a day, this was the best version I got out of Suno:

    That came out pretty good, actually. I notice that most of these songs have similar syllable count and scansion, but even within those constraints they’re fairly unique.

    Saw this, and thought about this thread...

    A few years ago my wife and I were watching a movie about shopgirls in 1950s Sydney — hang on, IMDBing… ah, Ladies In Black, it’s good — and one of the girls is Angourie Rice who plays Betty Brant in the Spider-Man movies. Their boss is an older guy who looked super familiar so I looked him up and it’s Nicholas Hammond! The original Spider-Man from the 1970s TV series, with an Aussie accent. They let Lou Ferrigno be in Incredible Hulk but not Hammond in Spider-Man? Boo.

  9. Well, Andor is also the most Empire-centric story we’ve seen, and the Imperials are racist and xenophobic. There’s literally only one non-human in the Empire’s ranks, so there aren’t any in the Imperial senate or the various offices we see. But every time the show goes to a non-Empire location aliens are present.

     

    True, there’s no Chewie or Yoda equivalent, but I find it odd that people are complaining about this when throughout Andor there are almost as many alien characters as black characters. I don’t recall a single Asian actor. That seems like a bigger issue to me, honestly, because the rest of it is very Star Wars. Although being whitewashed is pretty on-brand too.

  10. The autopsy is in and it’s horrible. 

     

    Spoiler

    Apparently Hackman’s wife Betsy died from hantavirus, an ebola-type disease that terrifies me, while Gene was bedridden due to advanced Alzheimer’s, so he essentially starved to death on top of dehydration. So did the dog who was found with Betsy. 🥺 The other two dogs who survived were able to get to their water, apparently able to move in and out of the house, which explains why the door was ajar.

  11. I thought there were plenty of non-humans in Andor’s first season. Am I misremembering?

     

    To me it felt like the non-human quotient was about the same as Star Wars - they’re present but in limited quantities. Mostly it’s Chewie and the two droids, with a couple background aliens here and there. Andor was the same way: 95% humans, a couple aliens sitting in the bar, and a couple front and center.

     

    Edit: I just turned 60 on Wednesday, so it’s never been “A New Hope” for me, always just “Star Wars”. But the retcon title “Episode IV” from 1977 is the one I’m referring to.
