Another test with AI - "Boxing in the WildWest"


Used App:   NaukNauk

Scale:   28mm


Hi again,

can´t resist to bring my miniatures to life using the app "NaukNauk". Sometimes the app does not do what you want it to do. So often the result of the generated animation is not as you wanted it to be. But very often the animation comes out really funny.

So here´s another try of testing the AI app.

Cheers 

Mike

Hi,

Playing with AI to bring miniatures to life

 Used App:    NaukNauk (to be found in AppStore)


Hi,

just wanted to try out something new after I have seen several animations of figures on facebook.

The app that enables you to animate your figures just by loading up a picture and telling the app how to move the figure and also the camera, is called "NaukNauk".

I could not resist to try the app and I was really impressed. Though the AI sometimes does not exactly execute the wanted movesit is just incredible to see, what today´s technology enables us to do.

And to be honest - which collector of miniatures does not want to see his figures move in animated scenes? Or even a whole regiment advancing on the battlefield.

I am sure that this app is only a beginning as it makes scenes of 5 or 10 seconds lenght. There soon will be more apps with much more calculating capacities, maybe someday to make small movies of maybe 5 minutes.

It is horrifying to see how fast technology is developing in these days, but it in this case it is also fun.


Cheers

Mike
