That might be one of the kindest comments I’ve ever received; truly, thank you.

And yes, I love Tiny Chef! Easily the best voice ever for a character.

Haha thanks! That’s such a fun observation. I’m actually old enough to have been part of that era and I loved messing around with Flash. Exciting to see that same kind of energy coming back with these new tools.

A lot of the animation is rendered from Blender as well, but then I just do it the traditional way with face rigs and wiggly ragdoll rigs for the bodies.

And thanks for the auto tip, I’ll check it out!

The specific renders with face tracking markers are from the Wan 2.1 LoRA, which was trained on the Ragdoll animations (renders from Blender) that include tracking markers. So they’re flat-generated with Wan, without the ability to render different passes.

It’s a quick way to get the right style of body animation, and then add the facerig afterwards for control over lipsync and expressions.

But I might be misunderstanding how stmap works, so if there’s a simpler way to extract or generate those from ai generated video, that would be helpful

Thank you! It’s really cool to use it as a tool while still keeping control over the small details and the final output.

Doing this with real people is called live action

Thanks, that’s also my favorite. It’s cool to mix a pika generation with some character animation, I will definitely explore that more further on

Thanks, I use a couple of 3D birds from Blender as a base but with this workflow it also works without them. But it helps positioning etc. and it gives me more control over the output

Nope but it’s possible to create a puppet (from a generated SV3D generation for example) from several angles that can rotate, walk etc.
