For the facial animations in my game, I use a technique that yields results similar to L.A. Noire. To keep it simple: I first generate a facial animation video using AI like LTX 2. Then, I create a video depth map from that animation and project it onto a face mask. Using vertex displacement, the depth map dynamically deforms the face as the character speaks. The result looks good in standalone VR. I actually created this workflow long time ago:

Do you guys want me to make a long video featuring popular games from the PS2/Dreamcast era using Gen-3, like the example below?

The HD emulator now has a true 16:9 mode! It does have a bit of a performance impact, though, so I’m going to see if I can optimize it. #sonicthehedgehogㅤㅤㅤ

Testing the HD emulator on Sonic 1 Genesis this time. There are quite a few visual glitches in this video, but I already know how to fix them. This is just a quick test for now. #sonic

A little update on my realtime deepfake/face enhancement app I’ve added a new system that makes facial animations look much more realistic. It’s still not perfect yet, but I’m definitely heading in the right direction!

🚨I have something special to show today. I’m also working on a Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis emulator that uses AI to convert the old sprites from games on both consoles into HD sprites. Once the conversion is done, the games can be played in HD. Here’s an example with Ranma ½: Hard Battle on Super Nintendo. For this test, I only converted the background and female Ranma, but I can convert the entire game into HD. The whole process is fully automated and works with all SNES and Genesis games.

Question Would you be interested in playing a fighting game with the visual style of Street Fighter II, but with the gameplay and camera of a 3D fighting game? The game would be completely free. I made a quick prototype, You can see the result in the video below

I’m doing some tests to see if I should add a Beat ’em Up mode to the game, alongside the Arcade, Versus, and Online modes.

You can change the look of Green Hill and other environments depending on the prompt you use with the HD emulator. For example, I think the scenery looks much better here than in my first test. I also added the option to use your own artwork, so you’re not forced to use AI. You can press F9 to capture the original sprites, which creates composite sprite sheets that you can then paint over or completely redraw in Photoshop, for example.

I'm testing a new technique using only Astra & Three.js to make the textures and lighting look much more realistic. In this video, I'm showing a before and after comparison with Sponza.

🚨I just discovered something new with Astra + ImageGen and Three.js ! I placed an untextured 3D model in the scene and asked Astra to use ImageGen projections to texture the model, then bake those projections into actual textures and it worked on the very first try! I feel like I’m discovering things Astra can do that maybe even OpenAI Tibo Sam Altman are not aware.

I added a “Mega Super” attack where your character creates multiple copies of themselves and they all attack the opponent at once. It requires several Super bars to activate.

Another test I asked Astra to create a low geometry Silent Hill style kitchen with Three.js using the AI render projection technique I explained earlier. It works, even though it’s still not perfect.

I’ve been working hard on my game engine, which supports real-time AI rendering even on low-end computers. Here’s an early alpha preview: it can transform a simple 3D scene into something highly realistic and detailed in real time.

I’m testing the new 4-step Turbo LoRA for MiniMax. With just 16GB of VRAM, I can generate 15 seconds of 480p video in around 1 minute and 30 seconds! I also noticed something pretty funny if you use a song as an audio reference and tell the character to dance to it, the character actually follows the rhythm of the music surprisingly well.
