🩰 #Live3D #Live2D #FeetTracking 🩰 I’m really happy that this modeling commission also gave me the opportunity to create and experiment with a FeetTracking model using Live3D technology. This technique doesn’t require complex image separation, using only front-view leg, sole, and toenail image assets to achieve pseudo-3D movement and... show more

🔱 #Live3D #Live2D #HandTracking 🔱 This is the highest-spec hand-tracking model I’m currently capable of creating. The model was created based on the Live2D-based 2D Pseudo-3D concept, and for the first time, it incorporates techniques such as colored linework, rim lighting, and independent finger outlines. These new techniques allow the model to achieve a pseudo-3D effect while faithfully preserving the artist’s original art style. Please check out the video for more details✨

🌚 #Live3D #Live2D #HandTracking 🌝 I’d like to talk specifically about a method for creating camouflage pseudo-outlines within the Live2D-based 2D Pseudo-3D concept. At first glance, the visual effect of this technique may look rather subtle. But when it comes to faithfully preserving an illustrator’s art style, it becomes an essential technical detail. This is especially important for illustrators who care deeply about the color details of their linework. With this technique, they can still take control of the pseudo-outline colors even within Live3D. Creating this kind of camouflage pseudo-outline is not difficult. All it requires is for the illustrator to provide one additional special set of assets. It looks like a shadow duplicate of the original hands, except painted with camouflage-like colors. During pseudo-3D rotation, each camouflage-colored area of the shadow duplicate cleverly corresponds to the outline color of the same part. It may be a little hard to imagine from words alone, so please take a look at the video! I hope this special production technique can also bring some inspiration to everyone. 😇

To answer all the questions on how this works, the model is actually an image of a plushie that I split into layers and rigged like normal from there in Live2D. Here's a quick speed paint reference to show how the layers were made in CSP using photo manip strats 🧡

Dreamina Seedance 2.0 is by far the best video model I've tried, and Dreamina makes it even better. You can try it in the link below. It's not just about the quality of the output, but about how much control you have over your video's look. Watch my video here. I'm attaching reference images and asking the model to generate a video using them. I can reference each image using the @ symbol to instruct the model which image to use. You can even upload a clip and use its camera movement, styles from an image, and audio vibe from a track. By the way, you can take an existing video and replace, remove, or add elements to it while the model preserves everything else. This is the closest we've gotten to "editing videos like photos".

I started using Blender through MCP about two weeks ago, and I quickly realized that you can build almost anything with AI. This model was created using Blender, Hunyuan3D, Gemini, and ChatGPT. Here’s how I did it: I opened Gemini, uploaded an image of the Gundam model, and asked it to generate a clean front-view image. I uploaded that front view to ChatGPT and asked it to generate two additional angles: a back view and a 45-degree front-left view. I went to: I signed up with my email and translated the page into English. Then I opened Image to 3D and selected the multi-image option. You’ll see a diagram of a whale from several angles. Upload each reference image in its corresponding position, such as front, 45-degree front-left, and back. I selected the 1.5M-face option. This produces a very high-poly model, but don’t worry, we’ll fix that next. Once the generation is complete, download the model as a GLB file. From the Hunyuan homepage, open 3D Studio using one of the dropdown menus. Select the topology or retopology tool and upload your GLB. I chose the High setting to preserve as much detail as possible. After a few seconds, the model was retopologized. It kept most of its visual detail while using far fewer polygons. The original head and rifle didn’t look very good, so I generated them separately. I returned to ChatGPT and created dedicated reference images for the Gundam’s head and rifle. I generated each part individually in Hunyuan at the 1.5M setting, then ran both through the same retopology process. Next came the textures. Open the texture section, select the multi-image option, and upload the same reference images according to the whale orientation indicators. However, instead of using the original clean textures, I asked ChatGPT to recreate them with wear, rust stains, scratches, and other surface damage. This gave the Gundam a much older and more authentic appearance. Once every part was textured, I imported everything into Blender. You can ask Codex through MCP to remove the original head and rifle, or you can do it manually. Select the main model and press Tab to enter Edit Mode. Press 3 to enable face selection, then press C to activate Circle Select. Paint over the faces belonging to the original helmet or rifle. You can press X to delete those faces or P to separate them into another object. Then position the newly generated, more detailed head and rifle in their place. I demonstrate this process in one of my older videos. And that’s it. You now have a very cool 3D Gundam model! Afterward, I created the cockpit, separated the model into movable sections, and rigged everything for use in my Three.js game. That process deserves its own tutorial, though. If anyone wants to see it, let me know. Or just ask your AI, I guess. They seem to know everything these days. xD

This was way too easy... I created a cute 3D character in minutes instead of hours using this combo: Unbound + Tripo I’m not a 3D artist, but this made the whole process feel simple, playful, and actually accessible. Unbound helped me shape the character idea, then Tripo turned it into a 3D model without the usual complicated workflow If you are a 3D artist or you are just starting, try Unbound. It’s free, open for everyone to experiment with, and a fun way to create characters, creatures, and 3D models without feeling overwhelmed I had so much fun using it today, and I think many visual creators are going to love it.

Claude Fable 5 has impressive spatial reasoning capabilities that are immediately relevant for engineering and design: In this example I gave Claude Fable 5 a single photo of a hierarchical mesh torus (image generated using a text-to-image model); and in one shot, no iteration, it built a full interactive 3D simulation: ~1,400 nodes & 4,400 fibers, realistic mass–spring physics you can grab, compress, twist… plus strain-based sonification so you can 'hear' the structure vibrate. It inferred the complete 3D topology from a partial 2D view. ⤵️

You don't need to be a 3D artist to start building 3D websites anymore 💛 Built this cool 3D jet drone website in Three.js using Claude Opus 5 and Tripo 🔜 gamescom in < 1 hour. A lot of people still think AI is great for generating code, but not for building something that actually feels polished and interactive or "complex". But it has been changing super fast these days. The model you see here is only 946KB, compressed from its original 13.6MB size automatically by Claude without losing any quality. This kind of intelligence has been developed in many other AI tools for anything related to 3D (except GPT 5.6 sol lol). You just have to describe what you want and they handle everything "engineerly" (that's not even a word but okay :D) Anyway, also you don't really have to learn anything about 3D modeling to create these models. All you need is a good image and put it in Tripo. For this case, i generated model using "smart mesh" feature that generated a cleaner low-poly topology and edge flow. That helps keep your actual 3D asset even more lightweight. Earlier, with HD model feature, my model size with 8k texture was around 60-70MB but with Smart Mesh, it's around 13-16MB with 8k texture applied separately. Of course, this isn't something I knew from the beginning. All I did was "try" out different features and see what happens. Live: Code: Design:

HOLY SHIT! Sparc 3D is INSANE! All they need to do now is enable PBR texture support, object separation and decimation and this in my opinion completely replaces photogrammetry. The quality of the reconstruction of these 3D objects from a single image is mind blowing to me. Yes, the model is insanely dense to allow all of this detail but the fact that AI can generate with this level of fidelity is CRAZY!!! You can try it for free on Huggingface

How to Turn Any Live2D Model into a GIFtuber! If VTube Studio struggles on your PC during streams, this is a lighter alternative you can try. It is a bit of a process, but the final result is worth it for me. I tried to keep the video as simple and condensed as possible, do pause if you need to! I also played around more with customising my Akizone Prism Model and I am so happy with it now 🥰

📢📢 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐭𝟑𝐫 📢📢 Avat3r creates high-quality 3D head avatars from just a few input images in a single forward pass with a new dynamic 3DGS reconstruction model. Video: Project: Our core idea is to make Gaussian Reconstruction Models animatable. We find that a simple cross-attention to an expression code sequence is already sufficient to model complex facial expressions. We then incorporate position maps from DUSt3R and feature maps from Sapiens to facilitate the prediction task. While DUSt3R's position maps act as a pixel-aligned initialization for the Gaussians' positions, the Sapiens feature maps help the cross-view transformer to match corresponding image tokens in the 4 input images. One major challenge in creating a 3D head avatar from smartphone images comes from inconsistent facial expressions when the subject could not remain perfectly static during the capture. We eliminate this static requirement by simply showing our model input images with different facial expressions during training. This technique makes our model robust to inconsistent input images later on. Finally, we show that despite the model has been trained with 4 input images, one can even create a 3D head avatar when only a single image is available. To achieve this, we employ a pre-trained 3D GAN to lift the single image to 3D and then render the 4 input images for our model. This allows us to create 3D head avatars from single images and even highly out-of-distribution examples like AI generated faces, paintings or statues. Great work by Tobias Kirschstein from his internship at Meta with Javier Romero, Artem Sevastopolsky, and Shunsuke Saito

Here are some tips for those who want to practice face acting: ➡️U motion: Move your head in a "U" Shape so it's never stuck in the same place. This will help your movements look more interesting. ➡️Key points: When practicing with your model, learn to get to a "Key point." This is when you can automatically get to an expression without using toggles. I use surprised and angry expressions a lot, so I know exactly how to move my face to achieve that look, mainly for clips or comedic effect. I practiced enough so I know what it will look like on the model. ➡️Head tilts: If you struggle with face acting, a simple head tilt will go a long way. Overall, the movement and face acting of your model does matter. It can help it look more interesting, but also, it's okay if you can't face acting all the time. Using just key animations when you're gaming will work perfectly. Example: You died in a game, and you go to the key point of surprise. You know, making this face will make your model look shocked, so you will do a dramatic eye open and mouth agape to achieve this, to reflect onto your model. Lastly. The way your model moves is usually 30% rigging artist,20% tracking (webcam/iPhone), and 50% you. Your rigging artist can give you the tools, but only you can make your models' results reflect your emotions. As always, DO YOUR PARAMETERS AND SETTINGS IN VTUBE STUDIO. It will not be perfect to your face and camera settings unless you adjust the model, (This is an old video I did on parameters) Holy Yapfest.

MagicAnimate: Temporally Consistent Human Image Animation using Diffusion Model with Gradio demo local demo: This paper studies the human image animation task, which aims to generate a video of a certain reference identity following a particular motion sequence. Existing animation works typically employ the frame-warping technique to animate the reference image towards the target motion. Despite achieving reasonable results, these approaches face challenges in maintaining temporal consistency throughout the animation due to the lack of temporal modeling and poor preservation of reference identity. In this work, we introduce MagicAnimate, a diffusion-based framework that aims at enhancing temporal consistency, preserving reference image faithfully, and improving animation fidelity. To achieve this, we first develop a video diffusion model to encode temporal information. Second, to maintain the appearance coherence across frames, we introduce a novel appearance encoder to retain the intricate details of the reference image. Leveraging these two innovations, we further employ a simple video fusion technique to encourage smooth transitions for long video animation. Empirical results demonstrate the superiority of our method over baseline approaches on two benchmarks. Notably, our approach outperforms the strongest baseline by over 38% in terms of video fidelity on the challenging TikTok dancing dataset. Code and model will be made available.

Your our history shouldn’t be taught in a boring way 🫠 I’ve always loved history, but I could never imagine what life actually looked like back then. So I built Empire Atlas, a 3D interactive explorer of 8 historical empires using Three.js and Kimi.ai K3 🔥 It lets you explore how people lived, what their homes looked like, their maps, daily life, interiors, and more. Properly researched. But the craziest part is that this was near one shot vibe coded with Kimi K3 🤯 When I previously built a 3D anatomy app with GPT 5.6 sol, I had to iterate on performance and optimization. With Kimi, the moment I handed over the 3D assets (generated using Tripo 🔜 gamescom), prompt and design (by GPT Image 2.0), it created an 11 step engineering plan to build the entire thing. The very first step it did was optimizing the assets. It took nearly 500MB of 3D assets and brought them down to just 17.8MB using mesh simplification, Draco compression, and 1024px WebP textures. Absolutely nuts. It also generated 56 historical images across the 8 empires showing daily life, maps, interiors, and more using its image plugin with batch processing. Those were converted to WebP too, bringing the total image size to around 10MB. That’s a huge reason the experience loads so fast on website. It's engineering workflow or intelligence has really impressed me so far. The only downside is that it took more than 5 hours, though 😅 Anyway, back to history. In Empire Atlas, you can explore 8 different empires and see how people and our ancestors lived at that time. I really love those textures I was able to create using Tripo 🔜 gamescom. You can explore their homes in 3D, and there’s so much more we could do with this. We could extend these houses into fully explorable interiors and create increasingly realistic reconstructions of what life actually looked like. And maybe create fun education games too. I genuinely think this can make history education so much more immersive. Much more than showing black and white images in boring textbooks. Go explore your history now 👇 Live: Code:
