@Cryptor_dot Been there. Done that! In 2022 we procedurally groomed tens of thousands of hair styles for this paper

@LucaPrasso Texture is not a problem, just use MetaHuman samples. The problem is the hair.

Hint… NanoBanana can modify textures for GNM directly in UV space
English
@Rommel_Omi It exported at 1k. Definitely not useful for some workflows but you can try a few options: super resize models or compute the pixel difference at 1k and comp it back to the 4k for example.
English
@LucaPrasso but dos it maintain resolution? what´s the export resolution on it?
English
@MiniYuanLip Either I was very lucky with my clumsy prompt or it is a fluke. But I was using the official release available to the public and not the internal one.
Keep me posted!
English
No way! Are you serious? 🤯
Wait, so NanoBanana can actually tweak GNM textures right in UV space? That is an absolute game-changer! No wonder people are hyped about it.

If you have a custom GNM mesh, you can project the PCA parameters with the code found in the repo, then compute the vertex local delta and apply it to an new GNM identity and expression.

Hacked up a GNM head × nano banana prototype. Back projects the UV.
What prompt should I try with this?

My team at Google XR just started open-sourcing GNM, our ecosystem of parametric human models and perception stacks, starting with GNM Head. Exciting to see the community adopt and experiment with it so enthusiastically! 🥳 x.com/soyposmoderno/…

Expanding on @soyposmoderno Blender GNM blending, here is a Houdini HDA that transplant parts (nose, jaw, etc.) between identities while preserving the recipient proportions. The chosen donor part is scaled and transformed to fit and the skin relaxed.

@andrew_n_carr @andrew_n_carr great! I did the same port but it is not in the repo yet. Check the project on PCA code in the repo to fit parameters to your custom head shape.
English
I ported the TF sampler to torch and wrote a little optimizer to fit face params. It's pretty expressive!!!

@romboutv @soyposmoderno Those sliders control the hundreds PCA parameters of the model (identity and expression). They are not as intuitive as you may want. The first one for example represent the biggest variation computed across all our scans (usually male to female).
English
@soyposmoderno Does also expose all those slider from GNM itself?
English
Fresh off the GNM launch (github.com/google/GNM), here’s a closer look at what you can do with it!
GNM is fully open-source, meaning that you can build right on top of it. Here I’m using normalized vertex groups in Blender to mask different regions while randomizing identities.
And if you want to go beyond realism you can always push these settings further to create stylized characters.
English
@ricardoalves @soyposmoderno I’ve developed a bunch of GNM Houdini HDAs that hopefully will be released with the next release.
English
@soyposmoderno The region mask is pretty cool can I have this in Houdini / Maya?
English
@bilawalsidhu I found the original slide! The deck is from 2017!!! I guess Cupid was a little ahead of the game back then… :)

Still wish we had ubiquitous geolocated AR experiences like this

2000 Rigged head scans from our dataset, only another 5600 to go :) More info here :: sp-6m.com

@andreintg @MartinNebelong I was following the project internally but unfortunately did not actively participated. Have seen bits and pieces. Can’t wait to watch the final one!
English
@LucaPrasso , @MartinNebelong any of you guys had a hand on this super cool short?
English
you'll see a bunch of tech bros reposting this new AI animated short saying animation jobs are over.
PLEASE watch this behind the scenes from ex Pixar animator Connie He: "AI didn't replace the process, it unlocked it.
We didn't type this into existance, we crafted it".

Our short film Dear Upstairs Neighbors is previewing at @sundancefest. 🎬 It’s a story about noisy neighbors, but behind the scenes, it’s about solving a huge challenge in generative AI: control. Developed by Pixar alumni, an Academy Award winner, researchers, and engineers, here’s how it came together. 🎨

@jon_barron @TheMG3D To me this continue to be a collection of 8 seconds somehow visually coherent clips.
We can discuss this in a while when these creators will be able to think, plan, storyboard and conceive something more structured finding inspiration from the visual storytellers of the past.
English
@TheMG3D Would a fair translation of your post be "it doesn't matter how good it gets, I will always dislike generative AI"? Or is there something more happening here that I'm missing?
English
It doesn’t matter how “good” it gets generative AI will always be slop!
el.cine@EHuanglu
AI is getting too good

@taiyasaki Same here. Recently I started getting these pesky memory messages too and noticing Gb of usage.

...third time today I had to force-quit the browser 😡🤬

Try having a conversation like this with a generative AI machine. This is what it’s all about, filmmaking ! Creation ! Human to human interaction that creates art, emotions, meaning and resonates with humans around the world. Film is unique and is made by real people. #Superman
James Gunn@JamesGunn
This was one of my favorite moments on the set of #Superman and was freaked out (and so happy) to find out it had been filmed. This and many other moments were captured in "Adventures in Making Superman,” a 60-minute making-of feature showcasing intimate behind-the-scenes of the movie will be available starting today for consumers who purchase Superman digitally at home on participating platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Fandango at Home, and others.

@taiyasaki Welcome Leonardo! You have the same hairstyle of your dad!

Paternity “leave”… aka now you are working 12h/day, 7/7 on fixing the house for this munchkin (Leonardo) and his sisters! 😅

@memo_akten I still love the 2017 piece much more. The visual imperfections of the generated images feel more like paint strokes controlled by your gestures, maybe closer to your original creative vision.
