Open source models are crazy. Alibaba just dropped Wan 2.2 Animate, a new model that can animate any character based on a simple souce image. It handles facial expressions and body movements like no other model. 10 insane examples: (sound on)

1. Expressive Human Animation

This is awesome. Can we use it to make Snape white in the new Harry Potter?

This is so not going to end well.

word. sums will be lost.

Why would anyone want to replace Donna?

@EHuanglu Her left elbow looks weird, so I took a screen shot and measured it, from the shoulder to elbow on both arms, do you see left side (2.5inch) is significant longer than right side (2.2 inch)?

@EHuanglu haha no way...

Man so many people are about to lose their jobs

the eyes are still dead.

I tried it too, it was amazing！

wonder how long until people start making full films with this

end of the year?

Curious now is it THIS easy and nice & sweet to achieve as it shown on these vids 🤔 It started as a divine intervention when Banana dropped - but then I wasn’t even able to switch my clothes on a photo 😅

so easy to replace actor now

you can add yourself to your favorite movie scene in seconds.

@EHuanglu Any tutorials?

@EHuanglu soon...

This is absolutely amazing!

Open Source...weeeee!!!

Wdym just dropped? It’s been out for awhile lil guppy

It's time to fasten your seat with Wan2.2!

few realize how early we are now.

Love this, looks incredible.

@grok what hardware do i need. And how big is this open source?

China not coming slow in AI

open source ftw

It will take another year before it is perfect, and you will probably need hardware for body tracking; the V-YouTubers market will boom.

This is so cool Any tutorial out there?

soon

Aiit waiting

How strong does your GPU have to be to get good results without my computer exploding?

Finally, because all these girls making crazy money off Onlyfans... Time for these boys to make money. LOL

US closed source software on suicide watch. 😔

You've covered some good examples here, Tom

thanks man!

This is still impressive and a step forward for realistic video generation, but I'm not going to start singing its praises yet. There are still odd character inconsistencies that are jarring for the detail-oriented, such as the change in the man's face when looking away and looking back. Once these inconsistencies are ironed out, then I will be thoroughly impressed.

Wow, that sounds incredible! Excited to see the innovation in action.

Thats an impressive quality!

This could change animation forever. Exciting times!

looks great Tom

out of this worlds tbh!

Wan 2.2 Animate achieving full-body and facial motion from a single image is an impressive innovation.

This could change the animation game entirely!

VR chat is about to get insane...

@EHuanglu How to use or How do I change the style of my video using this model @grok
