@snakeseas Thanks! You’re the first person to ask for an OS version of this- I honestly hadn’t thought about it. If we do go that route, I’ll be sure to let you know :)

@hjessmith Wow, fantastic work! 🎉 Is this an updated iteration of animated drawing? Really hoping there are open source plans in the works - this looks absolutely amazing and the community would love to contribute! Can't wait to see what's next! 🚀

Excited to share that our demo, Animating MetaGen Stickers, has been accepted to the demo track of #CVPR2025! Come say hello and play around with the demo yourself if you're attending CVPR! We'll be set up June 13th in the afternoon session.

@onwithsean @Meta @AIatMeta Hi @onwithsean. Does it still give you this issue?

Hi @hjessmith - I'm trying to use your AI Demo but it doesn't work. @Meta @AIatMeta sketch.metademolab.com/canvas After I upload my drawing, the upload animation spins forever. I tried with Chrome and Safari.

@0xJeph @iJenParisi I am indeed. Full time, in fact.

@hjessmith @iJenParisi Hey @hjessmith , very cool project. Are you still working on any extension to it?

@hjessmith Please take a look at what happens when I try to access Animated Drawings. Do you have suggestions?

@iJenParisi @github You can access Animated Drawings here: sketch.metademolab.com

@github @hjessmith How can I access the animated drawings? My students enjoyed animating characters from their stories!

Wow! Bring your drawings (or your children’s) to life with this novel app and algorithm from @hjessmith and friends: fairanimateddrawings.com 🖍

@janusch_patas @gazorp5 @AIatMeta @Scobleizer Actually we presented it at SIGGRAPH 2023. Here’s the official version: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35…

@gazorp5 @AIatMeta @Scobleizer Thank you! It is actually published at CVPR '23. And here is the code with a nice MIT license: github.com/facebookresear…

@mawmtzf I agree with your sentiment and am happy to provide consulting support for you here.

@hjessmith Why dont we asociate? I have a big marketing company in Mexico and this needs to be urgently in every family since all families have their children attached to screens and it shouldnt be unless somethig more creative comes up! Lets Save the family values !

@hjessmith hey im trying to contact you for a project in my state. A school want to integrate to their app . Is there any chance to contact you? Or does the app has a sdk or third party option to add it?

Look what @Tadaaw created- a 2D platformer starring your own Animated Drawing! It's super cool and you should check it out: apetoons.com/GameSetup

@Tadaaw Can I tweet a link out?

@Tadaaw Hey that’s super cool! Keep up the nice work ;)

@RinonGal Congrats to the whole team on this wonderful piece of research! Very happy to see more work that can make animation accessible to everyone.

TL;DR: We use SDS from text-to-video models to animate vector-graphics sketches! Please check our project page for more details, and more penguins: livesketch.github.io

@MBF3CW @ATS_FCPS @SpringHillFCPS Love it!

You don't have to be an illustrator to create an animated drawing. sketch.metademolab.com The tech teacher posted this at SpringHill. My Babu Frik came to life. Motivate your reluctant writer to create and then describe their animation's antics. @ATS_FCPS @SpringHillFCPS

@iambuvanesh @Meta Fixed. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

@akhilkarun Not surprised to see that was a SIGGRAPH paper with David Salesin as an author. There’s tremendous value to be had in combining older SIGGRAPH paper ideas with new ML capabilities.

@hjessmith Great to hear that, I’ve been tinkering about the idea for a while. Interestingly, I was surprised to see something similar existed from Microsoft long back in the 90s 😄 neowin.net/news/a-quick-l…

@hjessmith have you considered using the animation tech to help authors build comics, story books etc. Eg. if they have a basic character drawing they'd be able to make them look happy, excited, sad etc.

@dsp_ Sorry @dsp_ but the web demo code isn’t publically available. There’s a GUI tool in the GitHub repo for repositioning predicted joint locations though… so you wouldn’t need to rebuild that at least.

@hjessmith Just stumbled across AnimatedDrawings which is really cool. I wonder if there code for the demo site is somewhere available since I want to go and hack on it a bit? I am mostly trying to avoid having to rebuild the rigging/editing/etc parts.

@ryannoonan5 @townesy77 I opened sourced all the code behind the Meta Animated Drawings demo lab work. I’d love to see someone integrate some of it into Canva: github.com/facebookresear…

@townesy77 The only one I could think of is character animator. I'd have to search for one. The Meta demo lab does some skeletal animation. sketch.metademolab.com

Finish this sentence. How cool would it be if Canva for Education integrated with….
