Herotu Posted Wednesday at 11:10 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:10 PM I've read the resumes of some of you guys in the volunteer forum. I know we've got our fair share of cutting edge geniuses, geniii or whatever the word is. Have you guys done this with your characters yet? Here is a video... AI is turning characters into realistic faces. So how long before we get shader-like software (you know, it sits on top of your game, filtering it) that makes video game faces into realistic ones?

biostem Posted Wednesday at 11:14 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:14 PM There isn't any facial animations or even blinking, for such a process to build off of - our character's faces are literally just a static image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techwright Posted Thursday at 12:54 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:54 AM Hmm, I didn't bring him over to Homecoming, but I had a character in the Original Game that I'd spent a notable amount of time tweaking the facial sliders to get it just right, and managed to get a fairly good representation of my face from college days, at least, what could be done within the limits of the game. I'd be very curious to see what the outcome would be if a program retro-engineered it from game face to pseudo-lifelike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted Thursday at 12:29 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:29 PM Are we really so complacent and inured to the daily onslaught of AI monstrosities that we're now functionally immune to the horrors of the Uncanny Valley anymore? _____________________________ Hi, I'm Clave Dark 5!

huang3721 Posted Thursday at 01:47 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:47 PM I think it happens because the source image is perfectly symmetrical with no expression. Let's say we make a 3d model (make the face asymmetric a little bit), and give it proper expression. I'm sure the result will be much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyotedancer Posted Thursday at 03:22 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:22 PM The whole Uncanny Valley thing has always hit some people harder than others... I've noticed that a lot with the photographs of my ball-jointed dolls. Reactions vary across the whole spectrum, from "Hey, those are cool" to "OMGNo! Get those creepy things away from me!". I'd be surprised, based on that, if we all had the same reaction to the CG images or realistic animations. Me? Those images cause no discomfort at all... The only similar thing that's ever freaked me out even a little was the Red Queen from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movies. Her huge head really bothered me for some reason. Doll-wise the only ones that give me the heebies are Reborns. Those hit me pretty hard, so I *do* understand the feeling. Taker of screenshots. Player of creepy Oranbegans and Rularuu bird-things.

Krimson Posted Thursday at 04:35 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:35 PM Eh... it's just using an algorithm. The one I used is a website called Artbreeder, and basically it just turns everything into filters. You can look at things I have done here. Warning. I have made THOUSANDS of images. When it brings an image in, it recreates it. That's why my NWN2 character is missing hair buns, because the AI doesn't know how to recreate them. But then once the image is processed it can be manipulated in lots of ways. Here's something a bit different. Craiyon, which is based on the code from Dall-E Mini, creates images by searching the internet. Here is an example.

It took me a while to get from the bottom image to the top. The hard part was trying to make the hair look like some sort of hairstyle that could exist.

Krimson Posted Friday at 01:57 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:57 AM Uncanny valley is really subjective though. Think of cabbage patch dolls. Quite obviously, a good portion of the population found them to be cute and endearing, while others found them hideous. But... let's start going back decade by decade, because Creepy Dolls were a meme long before the 80s.
