Walking and slithering aren’t as different as you think
Abrahamic texts treat slithering as a special indignity visited on the wicked serpent, but evolution may draw a more continuous line through the motion of swimming microbes, wriggling worms, skittering spiders and walking horses. A new study found that all of these kinds of motion are well represented by a single mathematical model.
An international group of researchers has created a new approach to imitating human motion by combining central pattern generators (CPGs) and deep reinforcement learning (DRL). The method not only imitates walking and running motions but also generates movements for frequencies where motion data is absent, enables smooth transition movements from…
NVIDIA AI tools are enabling deep learning-powered performance capture for creators at every level: visual effects and animation studios, creative professionals — even any enthusiast with a camera. With NVIDIA Vid2Vid Cameo, creators can harness AI to capture their facial movements and expressions from any standard 2D video taken with…
My setup: RTX 3060 12GB VRAM + 48GB system RAM. I spent the last couple of days messing around with LTX-2 inside ComfyUI and had an absolute blast. I created short sample scenes for a loose spy story set in a neon-soaked, rainy Dhaka (cyberpunk/Bangla vibes with rainy streets, umbrellas,…
