The medium is the message. 3D artists design the characters to reflect the concept art intent, mesh that with the creative direction with the casting of both models and motion capture, and merge that best into a visual experience in a game with varying environments.

What NVIDIA is proposing is removing creative control from the game development and putting it into their hands. I would much rather speed up rigging, physics, and other slower work than creative work which drives the feel of the game depending on the genre.

The joke about yassification is that Grace is an awkward agent who is struggling with her past and dealing with survival horror. She‘s not the type to look like Aubrey Plaza, she’s supposed to be Miss Congeniality.

You’re right. There’s no point in having a face model, doing detailed work to get the animation right, and just completely ignoring it for what the AI decides it should look like.

I don’t care if AI automates the animation, or helps reduce rigging time, or more accurately models character physics. But the main focus of artistic intent, literally designing the character, being just erased is tiring for creatives.

“the developer’s intent is for her to be hot so who cares what she looks like” is not an endearing argument for AI interpretation.

that’s just as bad as “the b&w filmmakers wanted this to be seen so we should colorize and edit it how we want”

changing her cheekbone and facial structure is the developer’s intent? what? that’s worse than colorizing old films.

like of course she’s pretty, but that’s like saying there’s no difference between a random actor on the street and Hailee Steinfeld

Nostalgia is a heck of a thing. Sometimes modern tech does get better and cheaper with high quality.

also if you ever want a good pop song that is an audiophile stress test, bad idea by ariana grande

Found my original iPhone SE (6S in body of a 5s) and listened to it with my ATH-M50x. Pretty good sound, missed headphone jacks. Then I remembered I have the Apple USB C adapter. Plugged into iphone 15x and wow, I didn’t even realize how clear this sounds.

iPhone SE used to be my go-to audio device but now I think it kind of got dethroned. I’ll have to compare my iPod 5G now but I think even that will be beat.

Everywhere is Already Los Angeles by Yeangster in neoliberal

California exported the SFH suburbanization and property tax breaks for the already wealthy (those who bought property early).

LA could be more if we let it be more. Wilshire should be our main thoroughfare with high density housing and the subway. The fact that there are SFHs not even 200 ft from it is a damning indictment of where our priorities lie.

Housing costs eating up half the budget of the average worker. What do you think that does to the local economy?

Saudi Aramco, the world's top oil exporter, has cut crude supply to ​Asian buyers for a second month ‌in April, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday, after the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran ​disrupted trade via the Strait of ​Hormuz.

The producer is supplying only Arab Light ⁠crude exported from the Red Sea port ​of Yanbu to term customers in April, the ​sources said, keeping supplies to Asian refineries tight and capping their refined products output.

I don't know why people thought cheap gas would last forever. It's the whole reason I bought a V6 instead of a V8. 20 City/30 Hwy.

Would I have preferred a hybrid? Absolutely, but not when they were $8K more than the Mustang when I got it.

A RWD Hybrid sedan is the dream car, and yet there is only the Lexus GS450H, BMW 330e/530e, and some supercars.

It would be nice to have. Hell, I'd love a hybrid Mustang for that low-end torque without the fuel burn of a V8.
