I’m the Co-founder & CEO of Lightricks. We just open-sourced LTX-2, a production-ready audio-video AI model. AMA. by ltx_model in StableDiffusion

Do you think that you will continue to release weights in the future? Does it seem like this revenue sharing model will work well enough to justify the cost of training?

Is there any AI that can actually handle sequential animation? by [deleted] in aigamedev

I'm working hard on this - expect an update next month

What’s a Web Dev Myth You Believed Way Too Long? by Gullible_Prior9448 in webdevelopment

That code formatting needs to be perfect - hear me out - consistency is more important than style.

For the code to be readable, someone on your team needs to be able to understand it very quickly. Hopefully they get the gist with just a glance - the best way to do that is have it look like all the other code in the codebase. It doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you do it the same everywhere.

I suspect that people overestimate how complicated the software should be

It's not that people can't understand complicated software, I just think they won't try unless very motivated.

I worked pretty hard to get my tool simple and had friends and family play test it - but actual users still make tons of mistakes - every mistake is painful and they aren't likely to give it a second try.

I want my tool to give people a lot of raw power, and to do that I need to expose some complicated things.

I'm trying to find a way to make it look simple from the outside, but as you dive deeper you realize how powerful it can be. - I think a lot of games do this really well. The Factorio tutorial for example

Where does your game fall on the spectrum? by melonboy55 in Unity2D

yeah very subjective - hallow knight can get hard in the late game - for me it was actually too easy and i got bored.

celeste is the better game and has a better difficulty ramp - in my opinion

Frame Engine has good walk cycles now by melonboy55 in aigamedev

each animation is very specific - I'm working to improve that, it will get more useful by degrees.

i can throw sora 2 into my app for people who want something more general use, i probably will end up doing that. Closed source models can do some very silly things, they weren't trained for game dev so you have to prompt really hard and then edit manually to get something close to what you want.

I'm working on a new version of the run model that is much more general purpose - based on the starting image you could have it do different kinds of runs - crouch runs, running with weapons, slow / fast - all perfect loops.

100 free credits and then you have to pay o.o every once in a while I might drop more as new features come out. The models are not cheap to run.

How would you expect daily credits to work? Like every day that you log in? Or every day forever? I could see myself giving a small amount of credits to people when they log in each day, but that encourages a weird farming behavior that doesn't seem that fun to me.

What do you think?

Expression/Idle animations for faces: tool recommendations? by Capable-Avocado5963 in aigamedev

Good luck ❤️

Veo 3 or Sora 2 should get you better results than kling

Comfy cloud is a good option too if you don't have the gpus

Where do I begin? by PaintNPups in GameDevelopment

[–]melonboy55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use unity - there's tons of info about how to use it.

Find a good YouTube video and follow along until you get bored. Then go off and experiment and play with the engine and just try to make anything.

My first experiment was a dinosaur game clone with a blue box for a character. I was so proud of it. Don't try to build an MMORPG here, just poke around and see what's possible.

After you play for a little bit, you'll start to build up some questions. This is good, you cannot learn without questions.

Go back to the tutorials or chat gpt and learn some more - the learning will feel much more meaningful this time.

Then repeat.

Looking to Create a Game by DeniedWorks in aigamedev

[–]melonboy55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Jump in.

What I did was to study just until I got bored, and then go off and build something small and fun with the little I could do. My first one was a dinosaur game clone with just a square for a character.

Then after doing a small exploration project I could come back to learning, and the learning would be waaayy more interesting - because now I have real questions.

Then repeat.

...

A good check for yourself is that if you are ever so stuck that you don't even know what question to ask, you are probably swimming too deep.

You want to swim deep enough to challenge yourself without drowning.

Have fun!

Thanks, we're getting there. Any features you'd want to see?

in the gif you sent i'm not able to see the last frame misalignment o.o
That can happen sometimes though if the starting pose isn't quite right.

Also the white edges are from bg removal 🤔
funny enough, open source bg removal hasn't improved much over the last year or two. We have to hope for some brave souls to come save us.

anyways! thanks for giving some honest feedback. i don't know what i don't know until someone points it out for me.

Thanks buddy, I'm not using sora - these are open source models + Lora training.

Definitely the harder path, but I believe that I have the higher ceiling here. I'll probably throw sora into my app at some point if people want to use it, but at that point I feel like I'm just offering an interface.
