Nah, u still need key frame animators, storyboarders, background artist, even action animators need some knowledge to learn fighting styles… so as much as I want Ai to speed my workflow, u still need the human touch.
Im not even an Animator but I still know that this will not help the animator that much. The ai generates its own facial movements which may be not ideal if its not ur intention.
nah , only shitty companies will use this crap . and those companies generally make crap noone watches and they eventually shut down . lazy people will always be lazy doesnt matter what tool they have in their hands
not gonna lie,I am a bit depressed as an animator doing inbetweens/colouring is how alot of us get into the 2d animation industry,so that being removed does not bode well to newer junior animators,hopefully the industry accommodates more people with these developments,but the spree of job cuts does not fill me with confidence.Really interested to see how I can fit these developments in my work flow,so I am slightly optimistic.I dont know the legal nightmare having ai inbetween will work in commercial animation since ai generated work has no copyright.
Well now you can make your own animations without having to spend millions to hire a hoarde of in-betweeners or spending years to draw mere minutes of video
as a programmer if I had any skill in animation or painting at all I would be abusing the heck out of this right now pumping animations no one else can, we live in a world ruled by capitalism!
@@edukee We can learn to draw. The availability of such tools is a motivator if you were demotivated from learning because you had projects in mind that were too ambitious or expensive to make, knowing that the effort to learn such things will not be wasted on unambitious projects since by the time you get good the tools will enable you to do what you wanted
@@MrFram what I am trying to say is that an existing talented artist can have super powers using AI tools compared to a prompting pleb or a traditional artist.
That's mainly on the presenters' mistake lmao. Its simulates human movements of disfigured human body, and Miyazaki reminded and took it like its a mockery to his disabled friend.
Eh, I'm not so sure. Miyazaki didn't take issue with using CGI to produce some of his long and short films. And we all know CGI is a tool used to cut down on costs and time, but it's often inferior to an all hand-drawn animation by a skilled animator. A trained AI basically becomes a better version of the CGI tool because it allows for mimicking the hand-drawn frames into a full animation.
That would be an actual useful way to use ai but I think it's a lot harder for them to program a robot to have human-like dexterity than programming it just to mix pixels together
@@croble This will. More focus can now be on storyboard creation, adding extra details into key frames, plus much more, instead of creating hundreds of in-between frames and coloring. Ever notice how incredibly detailed anime movies are compared to weekly released episodes? Well this will help fill that gap.
2D/3D Animator here. The colouring is impressive. It means you could produce a line test/pencil test produce two or three coloured frames, spend days on those to make them of much higher calibre than usual and then let the AI do the work. People are apparently getting artifacts. But you could make it simple. Inputting one layer at a time and use a chromakey colour to return the transparency / separation needed during comp. This could also be used to reduce the issues perceived when using 3D combined with 2D. Right now, without it being 4K and the colour features not there its still in its infancy. Id like to see 32-bit image /masks sequences be part of the input and output. Make it a tool, not a cheat. The AI should be tailored to remove burden, to support the creative process of an animator, reduce labour intensive work and promote a higher output for audiences. Id like to see that creative control is maintained with our time repurposed to other parts of the pipeline. A few years, and this will be mainstream.
@@GalaxColor I've seen many people commenting about how when they got the tool it barely did anything Which means that using stolen data or the user's data is up to what the user decides
The whole AI art movement scares me and depresses me. I've been drawing my entire life, trying to improve and honing my skills. All the time and effort I put in just to be replaced by a bot. I feel robbed. I feel violated. It's like a big part of my soul died. People that are not in the art scene can't comprehend how this whole AI art movement destroys our lifes - they just laugh and tell you how dramatic you are, ignoring the fact that artists (be it digital artists, 3D-model artists, voice actors, writers, animators, hell even musicians are affected) actually losing their jobs, get depressive and even end their lifes. Art was a big part of our culture over the centuries, it made us human and set us apart from the animal kingdom. Now we sold our souls to the devil. We will gradually lose our creativity as we evolve. They call AI progressive, I beg to differ- it's more regressive than ANY of us can fathom at this time. No one can say with certainty where we're heading, but it can't be in favor for the artists. Hate the future.
Children's book illustrator and digital graphics artist here, hired for everything from logo design, tattoos, murals, custom character creation and novel covers. I've been totally replaced by AI. Within just the last 2 years my income was cut in half. It appears now us real artists will have to do the bland work of painting houses, since the creative world is being overtaken with AI, art created en masse by people who never learned how to draw a properly shaded circle. I'd never have guessed in a million years that AI could take over the creative world...instead it was the first thing to go. And I am in full agreement. Humans will cease to learn art. There will be ZERO incentive to spend your life honing your craft since there will be no money in it. AI will be what big corpos turn to and the time it takes to create a single piece, loving made by your own hands AI can do hundreds of pieces in. Oh yes you might make it as a traditionalist to those few supporters who appreciate the human touch, but come on that's a here and there income, and not a viable survival plan to make a career from. If you thought you'd heard people saying art as a career is a bad thing before, now it truly is dead. I am being told to adapt, to use AI to my advantage so I can turn around hundreds of products overnight too, and I just can't. It lacks soul and passion. Quantity over quality and partaking in the systematic removal of artist as we know it. I won't. It might look great but there's no human element there.
@@SledgePainterArt I'm sorry to hear that, I really feel you. I wish I had something comforting to say or even give you , and everyone else suffering at the moment because of this, a glimmer of hope. But you sum it up perfectly. The word "starving artist" will become the ultimate metaphor. What's even worse - the majority of society doesn't care, they turn their backs on us like we're yesterday's garbage. It sucks. I hate what the world has turned into.
AI should've just been really good tax calculators, document sorters, auditors, accountants and all those tedious and dull corporate stuff. Who the hell woke up and thought "yeah, AI art sounds like a cool thing to invent"?
This is why I quit making art as soon as the recent advancements of A.I were revealed these past few years. I had to rip that band aid off because it hurt too much to pretend I wasn’t being replaced. We were already in a field where our audience didn’t respect our hard work so with this I knew it’d be a waste of my heart. The only artistic thing I do now is crochet which is good enough for me because people still need me for something creative and it’s not digital. I’ve moved on to more logical career paths.
@@verticalflyingb737 Don't worry...AI eventually will replace everyone else's job too, it's just taking longer. Everyone saying to just adapt and get used to it, and has no fear of their own job...AI is coming for them as well. The only jobs that will be left, shockingly, will be those physical rudimentary jobs like janitorial work or mail sorting (the type of things AI should have been made to do), because it will take robotics a bit longer to catch up. Hardware is harder than software to program to perform well. As you say, all that boring stuff will be left for us for the most part, sad but true.
Not really, my guy This thing is phenomenal I can now focus on improving my drawings and know that I can become a Fan-animator in the near future. With all that said, this AI does small things like the ones said in the video. It does not contribute to complicated action scenes, and they have yet to be drawn by hand.
i think youre overrating the tool, even if it were as good as you think, it takes a hell a lot of time to animate, if you can cut some of that, then do it, work smart not hard
actually, when i try to replicate any signature work using txt2img or img2img it fails terribly all the time. if your motivation is to do the same stuff as ufotable studio with your own idea. one way or another you will face your AI assistant limits (so much of them), in such case you can : 1) adapt with the trades off 2) change your objectives 3) learn the usual way the difficult part to fix specific issues 4) pay someone else to do it (with ai or not) i've been learning soo much just to render my OC that it is not lazy anymore, somes compositions took me 10h to get ACCEPTABLE for target audience. it could have taken me 1 hour with an artistic background AND stable diffusion.
@@Phantal_ AI bros loves AI slops, AI is Future don't you get it? you'll have your own production that people wouldn't want to see because it's made by AI slop, but hey, atleast you don't overwork and underpaid right? blame capitalism! not the corrupt execs tho, and stay away from my crypto nft rugpull blockchain too.
When it comes to AI "free" mean you are allowed to train it free for the AI's owner, once it is refine enough and the owner can offer a more reliable product you may be removes and now there is Ai that can work equal to you because you trained it yourself.
This is a good point to consider. Hopefully the tool doesn't require internet connection and that people are archiving previous versions so if and when that happens, people can make a branching product if it truly is "open source".
Why? Every work you do in a software is already used to train AI. Read terms and conditions for the program you use, the company can use your work for anything they want.
As a CG supervisor i think this may be the way to make 3d animation blend more seamlessly or masquerade as anime by using a sparse frame rate and letting it draw the tween frames. I'll post my findings.
Sir, I thought the SAME THING HAHA. People attempting to make anime with a software like Blender don't have to rely *SOLELY* on shaders alone. And they don't have to work hours on posing each frame
I'm an amateur animator, and I tried this on some of my work, and essentially it makes almost no sense to me. Until such tools have a truly extensive list of functions for controlling what should move and how, I don’t think that such tools will make practical sense. Well, you know, why do I need AI to generate zoom animations when I can do it much faster and without artifacts? Yes, in the examples it looks good, but these are the materials on which he was most likely trained. Although I think from the technical side it looks interesting. But it's nothing more than a toy at the moment.
Yeah, what ai is not achieving is characteristic within animation. Which is the way something or someone moves that gives them uniqueness. Take Carpet from Alden, Tarzan, Or Naruto. Stitch from Lilo&Stitch They're all animated to fit their characteristics. Compare Sasuke to Naruto or Hinata Naruto's character is usually more open, silly, or goofy while Sasuke is more relaxed, calculated or controlled. Hinata is more restricted. Than the two Depending on the scenario. If Ai can't achieve individuality within a characters motion, it's kinda pointless...or very limited.
6:10 Did you try this? IDK if it achieves your goal of controlling exactly the animation, but it looks pretty close to me. If between frames you can just do a sketch without colour of the frame you want it to generate, it seems pretty useful to me. Just the colouring aspect seems amazing. Update me if you tried it.
@@lapoudrerouge7671 In the example, what the video author calls a "sketch" is actually the original animation with some filters. Real animation sketches look different. Even if you only use this AI for painting - why not just use modern software that already does an excellent job of this task and gives you much more control. For me, at least looking at the examples that were shown in the video, this is simply an attempt to pass off wishful thinking. I don't deny that from the technical side it's pretty cool. But I think it still has a long way to go as a tool that can actually be used to simplify your workflow.
when I imagined the future I always knew that ai would replace us humans but I always thought it would replace the most manual labors not the creative ones this only will enable companies to further abuse their animators don't be fooled after all a machine can do it for you 🤦♀
People have to slave away doing manual labor while an ai that doesn’t have dreams or feelings gets to do the jobs that many people would die for. What a horrible time to be alive
Ultimately, companies might end up making the pivot towards more efficiently repackaging search free and open source tools into their own respective frameworks.
FYI when Miyazaki said that, he was talking about some ragdoll physics engine similar to Rockstar's Euphoria physics system. He was not talking about AI, CGI, or whatever else.
This is really mind blowing and would save a lot of time, but as an animator my self, knowing that this AI could still evolve to the point where it can replace us, It's just depressing. specially for the aspiring animators, they will have no choice but to adapt. this really takes away the fun in learning and just skips a lot of parts that could be beneficial for the animators growth. but I guess there's nothing we can do, it's the age of AI, and I'll probly have to use this in the future too, but I guess atleast I had the fun to learn it from scratch.
I don't know, I've seen many people saying inbetweening is tedious, not difficult However you still need to have key frames or atleast 12 fps to get something decent with this tool, so it still requires human touch and control at certain extent So it isn't like SoraAI that generates it from Scratch
The worst part is that people keep promoting it to the point anyone can just create art. And then in the future good art will either be just a common thing or something that nobody's good at
For all the artists out there that feel down because of things like this, listen to this. Obviously, AI can be a powerful tool for annoying labour and thats a positive aspect, AS LONG as it is good enough to (technically) be a replacement of human work, which it still isnt by far. But okay, people say that its eventually gonna reach that point and that we will then be replaced - but no: AI will never replace art or artists. We can only be replaced when we let it replace us and artists hate AI for obvious reasons. Its not only about how good AI gets, its about aspects that AI simply cant replace - like the sheer fact, that its created by humans. Beings that are capable of having feelings, thoughts and experience. The only people who see AI as more than tools or even as replacements are the ones too dumb to appreciate realness. No matter how good AI can get and how much this fact will satisfy the cattle, thats the one thing it simply cant be: real. And if theres one thing where realness is appreciated, its art. Art of any form needs more than just prompts and references, it needs sentience and thought put into every step of the process. And even if AI became fully sentient, it still would only replicate realness better. And if AI became fully sentient id worry abt smth else lmao. Anyways keep it up to whoevers reading this
@@BloppTheIraeBlob it is inevitable, did the same thing just as you said, switched from a art school to laying bricks, but ive come to peace with it, ill continue art/animation as a hobby. And i also believe there will be a few niche things like stickman sakuga or practices that will go untouched.
no it's not. Generative AI is ALWAYS based on the mass theft and ingestion - and then replication of massive amounts of stolen data. How do you think it knows how things move? By downloading 5 billion images in the data set - that's how. It doesn't know how water splashes or snow falls without massive theft. That on TOP of that, it is trained by your data set for it's particular style adjustment means ZERO. It inhuman - and based on theft, at the core of what it does - or it cannot do what it does. ZERO ethics.
The amount of frames animators draw per motion is “decided” per movement and never “calculated”. So no, it will not replace animators, but it could def. be a good tool for speeding up certain processes, like auto colouring and animating parts that have a continues flow, like water or lava for example. AI is always morphing and tweening frames, which always looks not that great for characters. AI seems to be working towards its own particular style, when it comes to animation. It’s still impressive though how it calculates the volume of an object and tries to make it work.
@@mcruz4571 I think if we keep going down this path we’re gonna end up like the people in Wall-E. If it progresses too far, we will regress. It’s better kept as a tool, not a replacement
Okay... the colouring is actually fucking wild. I mean a handfull of frames you can just tween for the most part anyway, but the colouring is definitely something else. Being able to storyboard and then running through an AI and having a full markup in a few minutes is... welp that's game changing.
@@aaisusgamingchannel Homeless caused by the exponential growth of population beyond rate of economy growth. Technology is just technology. You can blame your corrupt leaders for being incompetent to handle new workforce
In my humble opinion. I think you are narrow-minded. If this AI improves, it could literally make your life easier, so you don't have to waste time and energy on every frame of your animation to make it smoother.
@@noone7657You are right. AI is just another tool that will make a lot of peoples lives easier especially in a industry like this, but it is understandable that most people out there don't want a "drag and drop feature" to be the main selling point of there work. I (Like many others) want to look at something I've done and go "Damn I did that (In It's entirety)". But then again treating AI like its "The enemy of mankind" is such a overdone story that at this point, people just seem to be trying to fulfill some weird fantasy about its takeover, so idk 🤷♂.
@@noone7657 I may be. But I just think it's still rewarding. I don't want to feel like some robot took the boot for some of my work. I haven't animated in a few months, but I can 100% tell you that when I'm creating a piece of art, which animation is, I want it to be personal. Every bit of it sealed together in a nice package constructed by me. I know I'll still have the option to do that all on my own if I want to, but even if AI becomes perfect at replicating animation and art, I don't think it sits right with me that even part of it is made by ai. It's just like interpolation. It's not authentic. That bothers me in a way that's very difficult to explain. It's like, you look up to the night sky expecting to see stars, but instead you just get a dull hue of greyish blue or black with the occasional light from planes or helicopters in the sky. Sure, the beautiful stars are still there, but they're drowned out by light pollution. That new night sky has the night part in it, sure. Maybe a few stars here and there. But the real charming part of the night is looking up and seeing hundreds of tiny little embers glistening, knowing that those each fuel their own little solar system or galaxy. That charm, the possibilities of the human mind at its fullest potential, is completely absent behind the realization that a soulless robot did a hefty portion of the work. The beauty of the art is ruined for me with that. Even the greatest looking piece, the smoothest animation, or the most beautiful symphony... Can be reduced to nothing but a dull sky to me if it's revealed to have used ai for anything other than.... At most, idea visualization. That's just how I see it. Narrow-minded, sure. But it's how I feel.
if you break an action sequence down into scene by scene, you will notice that each scene is slow paced… it is the rate all scenes are composited in sequence that decides how action filled it feels. still a bit of a ways to go before we get AI to do logical compositing of multiple scene sequences.
I think it's because the AI is trained to render up to 3 seconds worth of animation, and the start/end frame data it's given doesn't show enough motion (like the train passing at 4:20)
I got into an argument with someone on twitter on AI art theft, and I told buddy that what if you could upload an image and AI animates it for you, he said I was too optimistic.
@@johndank2209 it takes more time the worse pc you have, I don't think there's a strict minimum requirement, unless you have some windows 95 kind of machine
Something you didn't mention was that in the course of generating the in-between frames the AI also adds secondary motion, ease-in, and ease-out frames. This makes a huge difference to what was previously just a sophisticated morph. While there are serious problems with entire scenes (i.e. completed shots) most 2D anime is created from multiple elements (animated action, foreground plate, background plate, etc.), and reducing the time to create animated elements for later compositing makes this a huge breakthrough. However, I noticed there are no lip-sync examples.
It's made by TenCent, has to be downloaded locally, and this video only uses examples from films where in-between frames already exist. Who wants to to be the first to test this thing for spy/malware?
This, exactly, just put in some very simple key frames and they look nothing close to the examples given and one gave me an output that was just straight ripped from arcane not even my work lmao. Also where are the auto color features??
@@yotsuba0129 Anyone can see the code, anyone can edit and redistribute their own version of the code. IDC. Tencent literally owns major shares of Epic Games and Discord. They are an arm of the CCP. There's no way in Hell they're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.

This is the real win for artists right here. People are scared to lose their jobs to AI. Corporations should be scared artists will no longer need to be chained to their deep pockets to get anything longer than a 30 second clip done within a year's time. Yes, there will be garbage flooding online, but no one's really complaining about the stupidly redonkulous number of let's plays and streamers/vtubers though. TH-cam will be fine if it gets a surge of junk animation, the cream will rise to the top.
@@littleman6950 But if everyone can just draw like 3 frames to get something, doesn't that mean that the areas to actually get better than others will be lesser? And yes you say corporations are scared, so ultimately won't they just fund the ai companies to create an ai that will barely require or even won't require artists at all. In the end for corporations, money is always above morality and companies will just aim to cut the cost.
Do p*rn. Big companies will stay away from it for a good while, and there is only so much you can do with a local AI running on your computer. For reference, I'm an adult videogame creator and I still need my artist partner to generate assets to accurate specifications.
Your dreams are now 10x closer, not 1000 steps away. If you wanted to do animation you had no chances anyway, for every keyframe artist that gets to implement their artistic vision there must be 10 in betweeners who get no say at all, it was a zero sum game. If you tried to get hired at an animation studio, statistically you would end up one of those. Now that these tools are here you can make the animation yourself, draw your own keyframes and let AI draw in betweens. So you go from having 10% chance to 100% chance of being able to make an animation that would otherwise require a large budget for in-betweens.
This looks good, but I find it suspicious that all the examples given contain automatically generated sketches as inputs. For having trained GANs on similar concepts back in the day, we typically use some segmentation algorithm to get a 'sketch' from a colored image (or video frames) and use this to train the model. However, there are a lot of differences between automatically generated ' sketches' and hand drawn sketches from scratch. I would be more enthusiastic about this project if they showed results from hand drawn inputs.
Those who support this are just concerned about seeing their favorite anime released as quickly as possible. They are consumers, not fans, they don't care who is behind the process, never cared.
@@JoaoVictor-rs8rr Fact or not, AI is here to stay. You may have a different view for people who support stuff like this, but this will be an incredibly useful tool to save time when it comes to animation. I swear, I can't wait for the early years of the AI era to be over to prove that everything will be fine. People had the same concerns about Computers and stuff and we ended up fine...
@@Key-Knight87 Animators, effects professionals specials etc are already highly undervalued, long hours, non-corresponding salaries and unhealthy conditions. This is something they always complained about but no one was ever willing to care, at most it just became an inside joke among fandoms or complaining about the dubious quality of the animation. Do you really believe that when big producers apply this to the production process they would be thinking about professionals and not just about reducing expenses and then devaluing the salary of the animators?? It won't be something extremely technical that only a few professionals could do and that will create more "jobs". Your optimistic view is really cool, I hope you're right, but most producers don't care much about animations, what we see most nowaday are series being canceled or continuations of popular animations.
my first thought was "if this helps me do lineart and coloring faster then please i need it" i literally paused the video at the very beginning to vent in my brain how i wanted a tool that when make lineart for 1st frame it will copy it and adapt it to other frames so i dont have to manually do it myself. like imagine drawing same thing hundred times with only slight changes. no matter how much u love to draw or animated it will eventually get tiring and tedious that kills the joy. with this i can just simply go frame by frame making sure if its done everything correctly and implement corrections there and there when needed. same with coloring. i have to color only the 1st frame and let the tool do the rest of the frames and do corrections. this will speed up my process and i wont end up hating animating. i sketch all my animations myself and if any tool could help me with lineart and coloring id welcome it. when it comes to anime releases idrc how long it takes. i watch it after few years of it being releases anyway. im patient with tht sht. in contrast if i was done with my animations i might have more free time to actually watch anime lol.
people have forgotten the fun of making art. so they get bored, fed up and lazy by letting the AI do everything. but there is no satisfaction in doing something that in the end you didn't do, the AI did. 😞
if you tell me yes but it's economically better this way, ok but if you wanted to get rich, if you only think about money why are you an entertainer? you earn much better and easier by being a lawyer, a doctor.
I did a very basic test with two images of Link from Zelda I found online. It generated some random photo of a guys face morphing in to another guy. Very weird
you need a higher frame rate. it’s missing information so it’s filling the gaps. the more frames you feed it, the more info it has to work with to create consistency.

Not as advertised. We tried this with a 3D model falling sideways. Yk what it did? It just made weird shapes on the model. Like it was erupting shapes from it. The 'Sketch Guidance' is a heavily filtered outline version of the 'Output'. The examples don't really showcase anything other than it was fed what was already existing. For example, Ghibli content. At most, what this did is find what piece of animation you've pasted in it. It's not completely filling something in from nothing. I don't even think it's generating anything like what this video says. Go test it with a sketch of YOUR OWN and see for yourself. This isn't as advertised.

@@ZipZapTesla So, what was that Final Fantasy Advent Children example? Wasn't that 3D? Tifa basically put on a glove. The model I had was slightly tipped over to the side. It should've been simpler to animate.
Why do you guys want lower quality films and shows that will be mass produced by greedy corporations using ai instead of just, idk... properly paying/treating artists for their work? People have never understood how much goes into animation. It's not JUST labour. There are so many specific decisions that animators make that are completely disregarded by ai like this. I understand AI isn't going away, but this being celebrated is just so weird to me especially considering the state of the animation industry right now, and how obvious it is that these giant corporations don't care about art.
it’s weird that you have been conditioned in a way that you think big corporations should be the only ones to have a voice and produce animation. most regular artist will be nothing more than cog wheels for these corporations while the top who are executives earn all the revenue. Ai makes it so all of us can now produce are own pictures and tell our stories. ai will still require a creative pilot and they can design their own art and use ai like this to fill the gaps. these tech help smaller companies thrive and make the artist in charge of their own destiny.
@@WisdomTooth1987 1. If you’re describing how artists are treated in the industry now, ai is in no way the solution to that. While I think ai art looks like hot garbage most of the time, I can realize that general audiences can lack taste, and that studios wanting to use ai in place of artists to cut costs is a very real thing. It’s already happened in some cases. Why do you think the writer strike had writers striking AGAINST ai? Because they knew that greed has no limits and that their jobs and industry rights were on the line. 2. Now, If you’re convincing yourself that people will just make ai animated movies for each other, please stop; and attempt to be realistic for a moment. It’s actually difficult to write a rebuttal to this concept because it’s just that stupid and reminds me of previous promises like “crypto land.” In terms of logistics, where’s the money coming from that replaces the artists salaries and benefits that they had from studios? In terms of quality, as I already said there’s so much that goes into animation that’s being disregarded with ai, and that’s not even talking about the art of filmmaking. 3. Watch some TH-cam tutorials, Practice, Pick. Up. A. Pencil. Art/animation is more accessible now than ever for people to learn. It’s not that ai bros can’t, It’s because they don’t want to. That’s it. It always boggles my mind seeing ai bros attempt to use “it will empower artists” as a point despite it being VERY clear by now that real artists HATE this. You know that we enjoy drawing? That we enjoy the process of making art? It’s kinda the whole reason we’re artists. 4. Bruh……“Destiny?” Can we PLEASE stop with the utopia ai-fuelled future talk. Ai and nfts were always pitched this way to convince people to buy into it now and disregard any shitty practice that came along until “the future” arrived; and it worked. How bout we talk about today for a moment: People trying to make a quick buck have flooded online stores like Etsy with shitty ai generated products, burying actual artists who rely on their stores to pay bills in the process, The co founder of Dreamworks has said that 90 percent of artist jobs will be eliminated by ai, and some studios like Netflix have admitted to looking into how they can replace artists with ai. just recently, Meta (Instagram) has decided to scrape every video, photo, or artwork on their platform to feed their ai without offering people an effective way to opt out causing waves of artists to either leave the platform for alternatives, or use glaze and nightshade to protect their work going forward. (something we should not have to do) 5. Ai has done nothing for artists. it’s existence was built off of millions of actual artwork unethically, and it’s implementation in creative spaces threatens to replace actual artistic merit, with algorithms that spit out serviceable garbage for mass audiences.
@@JaxonPham you can argue all day. Explain to me how spending millions if not billions of dollars to produce entertainment serves the better for the world at large? Ever heard of world hunger? recessions? We're not gonna derail technology and do things the slower way in the name of 'art.' It's really not that complicated. Ai is like 3d programs, they lower cost tremendously. Hey, you know that we could all make sculptures instead of polygons right? why didn't pixar complain when they took sfx artist jobs? oh but now they give a fk? Ai is a broad term, not all ai is derived from others work. Ai isn't the problem , it's not compensating the artist and their brand. TH-cam,limewire,vcr all committed these sins. The abuse should always have consequences and the courts will work itself out, but ai is not going anywhere. I'm not going to pretend it doesn't exist. If i want to produce a faster walk cycle, a tool like this helps me do it faster, you bet i'm going to use it. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, you can go ahead and make art the slow costly way, just don't expect your competition to give a fk, they and the audience don't care. As for artist learning animation, yeah sure dude, learn all you want, so you can have an AD tell you what to make for them. slave away doing line work and being paid peanuts. Animation in japan is basically slavery. Ai is headed in that direction where artist can branch off and do their own movies(not one person) overall inexpensive animation cuts off the middlemen like executives and big studious and equals the playing field, don't believe me? TH-cam the platform you're on now allows everyone to have a channel and do their own stuff, back then you had tv with 3 channels and 99.9% of the world wasn't going to ever have an audience seeing them perform. Why all the sudden we want to revery to doing things like the 1990s? lets go back to doing television programming only while we're at it. If we follow your approach, the entertainers from the past would have made vcr illegal , youtube etc. battles that appear righteous actually do the opposite of what you intended.
Maybe now individual artist can express their idea instead of relying on million-dollar company that doesn't pay their employee well anyway. The tool is more to fill key frame that the artist has to do to make a good animation. The artist can instead focus on the story and the key element like expression or combat scene or whatever complex thing that the AI can't do. It also speeds up the process of making animation. People don't want to pass hours just to make a simple walking animation, or a camera rotation on the environment (Maybe you like it... idk). Instead, they can animate well crafted dynamics scene. Big company already takes years to releases anime seasons. Imagine now how good storytellers can give us amazing work in a way smaller time interval. People also complains that corporation would spam bad AI generated content. Well... why don't you eat shit? Because it's bad so you don't. Then why just watch the good show and cast away the bad stuff. There are a million video games out there, some good, some bad. You don't just randomly buy your games, you have reviews to look, a trailer, videos on TH-cam that tells you about it. Same for shows, really... You don't watch a show if no one watches it or people says it's bad. Why not take the same approach for this future, where we can have access to many contents quickly. Where animators can find balance between filling shot assisted by AI, and well hand animated action scene. Where you don't need millions of dollars for a series. Where you don't need a full team to release season in 3 years. I find this kind of tool extremely useful, and liberate indie animators, letting them express their stories. Let me hear your thoughts.
Animator and animation educator here. If you’re young person learning art and looking at this and getting depressed just know that I felt the same way when I saw Toy Story in theaters. I knew by the time I was old enough traditional animation would be dead and I was right. It didn’t stop me though. Every generation of animators will have a new tech they have to adapt to. The only people who are truly threatened by this are people who want jobs that were being outsourced anyway. If you want to be a traditional animator in America Titmouse is the last studio and they struggle to pay their animators a living wage. Before you came into the picture traditional animation was already dying… in the studio world. That’s the beauty of independent animation. There are no rules as to what animation can or cannot be but too many animators feel like they need the studios but the studios don’t feel the same way. They’ve been trying to get rid of artists and they have the money to hire outsource studios to do the animation for them. SO, why don’t you just use A.I. against them to make something better than them? We animators complain that the studios make garbage but when we have a chance to take the reins for ourselves we’re too afraid to do it. Embrace it; don’t fear it!
it doesn’t ruin it if used wisely. It can save time while achieving the same results. For example, if an animator has to draw 30 frames, they just can draw 15 and other 15 frames with the help of this AI
the ignorance of how much work goes into making a piece of animated work, and arrogance of people like this, is truly baffling. the only reason any of these examples look remotely interesting is because of the amount of human work and expertise that already went into those frames. i really struggle to imagine how people with no animation or storytelling experience could even come close to come up with something as charming as studio ghibli films for example. and to anyone who believes the extra money freed up from saving time animating and painting backgrounds is sorely misguided, corporations and large studios will only end up hoarding more and more of the wealth, not reinvest it into the artists they're already squeezing of everything.... just look at the way studios like Pixar and Riot are laying off substantial percentages of their workforce to outsource to countries where they don't have to pay workers as much to do the same work. good luck making your own indie animated film with no creative skills whatsoever, i'm sure it will have mass appeal and not rely solely on "pretty" visuals. seriously, screw you and anyone promoting generative AI, you're actively taking part in the erosion of the arts, and aiding greedy tech entrepreneurs and corporations in taking away our livelihoods.
I’m a 2D anime animator, This is a good tip to use. But Forget this software, I’m going to start using this method manually by hand for my start-to-end frames for animation.
if you make art in the old way, you can use that as a plus, as marketing, it makes people interested "hey did you know that guy used absolutely NO AI in his work?" "what, really??" its like if someone made an animation completely using paper and pencils and then taking a picture of them with an analog camera and doing the animation out of the camera's film rolls, stuff like that makes people interested and gives them that credit, so its gonna become quite the unique, niche, fancy, and highly respectable skill to have, you wont compete with ai, you'll walk over it, its like a high standard coffee brewer competing against a 30$ instant coffee machine.
The ultimate test: Grab one of those multi-panel animated scenes from the One Punch Man manga and see if it can handle animating one of those well. It can barely do SD resolution so It's probably not taking anyone's professional job anytime soon (even with AI up-scaling techniques). but it sounds like a fun thing to mess with, maybe for gifs.
@@hannahprivett1638 your first thought was to assume someone was going to claim a famous bit of work was their own without someone already knowing where it was from a thousand times over?
@@hannahprivett1638 what actions? I made a suggestion to test the quality of the software ability. You're the one who made wild accusations about assuming ownership. That's completely unreasonable and rude.
As an animator I find this surprising though I did notice things it can't do, it won't take over animators don't worry, experts will still be hired to correct the anitmation mistakes the tool does. I do find it interesting, not saying I don't like it, simply pointing out it can't do some things animators can do.
This is honestly a next step towards AI development. If open AI drops sora along with these tools perfecting themselves, we are really close to creating projects for ourselves.
@AvgJane19 death of almost 60% of jobs are right around the corner, any job related with non physical work is in imminent danger but this also produces more job as well according to some researches. Many new jobs will be created. So the best thing we can do is adapt to the technology, learn it. Do a course around AI and learn python for starters.
@jumpy2783 assuming that AI doesn't thinks for itself and creates a series itself. many people will be fired because need of hiring 10 people can be replaced by one person doing 10 person's worth work by using AI. Same thing happened in web development jobs, a senior manager fired junior web devs and did the job himself using AI. So better be careful and adaptful. While bar will be raised, jobs will be destroyed and created untill AGI and humanoids are achieved.
tbh these projects won't last a project if AI quickly gets developped to the point that we can type a few words and get a movie out of it, just like that one song generator. We would also be making projects for ourselves and ourselves only because the amount of these probably would flood the internet just like the AI generated pictures, it would be everythere and nobody would care about that one plankton in the huge ocean of vomit. Internet soon will be a disaster. and soon original ideas would be less original even more by the time goes on.
I am a trained artist with years of experience and I tell you that much: - see it for what it is: - a tool! Look, every year there are 100s anime projects coming out. They all get equal exposure. The good ones prevail. The aidience couldn't care less, if the dirty work is done by the A.I. as long the art is aesthetic, characters are lovable and the story / plot / dialogues are entertaining. The rise of A.I. is a bliss for small productuon companies or even single authors / artists, who now don't need a $ millions budget and big companies anymore to make their projects come true. As a manga / comic artist and author I see this development as an absolute win! Finally I can create something like "Made In Abyss". Alone! Ofc for the 2nd echelon artists in the bigger studios this is rather the opposite of good, but there are plenty cases in the entertainment craft & software industry, where the fired employees started an even more successful company, that outperformed or even pushed out of business the company, that once fired them.
hopefully this will make traditional animation cheaper, so companies will start making traditional animation again instead of making 3D animations for cost reason
It's not really true that 3D is cheaper than 2D when they are done at the same level. It's only true when we talk about the lower end of the quality spectrum ( children's TV animation for example )
To be fair, computer animation isn't actually cheaper. But inbetweening looks like a process that should be eliminated to business people (especially if you see a room full of people doing it) and to be quite honest, it sometimes feels like a process that should be eliminated while you're doing it.
@@Zion_k so you like poor talented people that can make a great film without AI from 3rd world countries having to take months of animating manually some demo video while they have other issues to solve in their lives during these months?
As an animator, this scared me and makes me happy at the same time. It scares me because now the competition to get a formal job as animator is higher because there will be less jobs for it. But it makes me happy because I think that with this tool anyone, like myself, can make their own full projects. I will try to use this tool to make small videos and see how it goes, this is an amazing find.
Incredible. What's always worrying however is managers and directors believing they can just use these tools to dump more work onto already crunched staff rather than allowing those hard working people the freedom to live their lives while producing higher quality art faster and more efficiently than ever before. The reliance on crunch as the default response in every situation is unsustainable and bad for everyone, the company included. Automation is a tool for higher productivity, not a bellows you throw humans into as a fuel source. The inability of the managerial class to comprehend the difference and see people as equal partners in their business rather than a resource (human resources is aptly named after all) to be exploited is why so many industries are falling apart right now. We simply don't have leaders anymore, only accountants styling themselves as leaders. Here's hoping that as the economy crumbles and people clamp down on their wallets, these exploitative practices crumble in favor of independent artists using these tools to tell their own, more unique stories through animation rather than simply adhering to "broad audience appeal" to decide what gets greenlit.
What is the point of A.I. art? A.I. animation? To undermine an industry that is already in so much pain, of forms of art that people put their whole entire lives into? But, its better to have the ai not as a generator but instead as a tool. A tool that would help artists become better and find better ways to animate. But if you just want to make an animation without effort than there no point in making it, it's then materializing into jobs being useless. The only ones surviving being either the best of the best or the higher ups making any decisions when talking about manufacturing. Dont take this comment as a hate comment or a critique on any of this stuff. Just realize both sides to every situation and take everything with a grain of salt.
This technology is absolutely incredible! I've always fantasized about utilizing AI tools to accomplish this. These elements have the potential to greatly empower indie animators and animators overseas who often face the challenges of being treated like factory workers.
I think this could work well for pre production/ animator notes on movement(especially if you can train it on your won data),but for know it would be more effective to hand animate stuff,but it really is powerfull,but for a studio setting for copyright reasons I still see most commercial productions sticking to human cell animation.
@@NightWatcher-NW ha you not ready to be an artist yet. I. Reality artist hate how long it takes to finish their vision. Most time it half done. Hopefully this will change it.
@@NightWatcher-NW An Artist "captures" or "renders" imagination/expression into a tangible artform. I remember the same conversation when Traditional Artist (Who drew each frame) had to face the industry when computers came into play (Digital Artist). That conversation is still going on today with alot of the OG animators on TH-cam.
Those cherry picked examples by the author looked pretty good, but holy the ones you tried were awful. Hand morphing, character morphing, exaggerated camera pans. The only good use case I can see for this is in the hands of animation professionals for inbetweens. That tracks with what the stated purpose of it is anyway. Using sketched animations to guide the system to create the color animation for you is going to be decently powerful if it actually works like they showed. I could see studios using that to save some money and time on unimportant scenes.
That's one of my major concerns with AI, besides the ethical quandaries I have for it. The dataset will continue to dilute as more and more artists' hard and soft skillsets wither away, staying more dependent on tech, leading to an en masse entropy/ homogenization of sorts. You see it already with AI generated images. When there are so many of the same thing in quick succession, people will start to slip.
This is a game changer. it doesn't need to fire the existing artist. Now they can pump out 3 series of anime at the same time with the same setup of the worker for one anime series.
This only mimics animation that already exists, its not creating anything new just disrespectful to studio Ghibli and its animators. To anyone who wants to be animator please I implore you to learn how to draw animation it will be worth it animation isn't as hard as it use to be especially with todays animation software's. it most fulfilling to do it yourself, do not trust these scammers.
@@Key-Knight87 the person who made this did not draw a single frame of animation that is on this video, he is using frames from Ghibli films that have already been in-betweened and scaming you into believing that it will effortlessly in-between your own created drawings, stop defending this nonsense
@@ItsKatinasWorld I'f you learn how to draw there's no 2danimation softwares you can't animate in. I started with Serifdrawplus it very simple to learn now im using TV Paint but there's plenty more you can use that are as simple just search on youtube
@@sandilemlambogoblination420 Yeah because he used it as an EXAMPLE lmao. If you really wanna use it as a tool, you'll come up with your own animations. I'm defending the software, not the users... 🤦🤦🤦
As an aspiring animator, this is both terrifying and exciting. Yes, there's the possibility of big companies trying to use tech like this to cut costs and in turn fire people. But im also hopeful that AI can be a wonderful thing if used correctly as a tool for the animator, not to straight up shit out animation all by itself. I can imagine a future where this type of technology gets integrated into animation softwares, and you can just draw the key frames and tell the computer to generate the inbetweens, maybe set how many frames of animation between each key frame, and even letting the animator be able to go in and manually draw a new key frame or correct small mistakes made by the AI, kinda like how twinning works in 3d and flash animation. It's about making animation less time consuming but still giving the animator full control over the animation.
This tech is impressive, but a lot of times, in-between frames are made with intention in mind. Depending on how the in-between frames look can drastically alter the mood, tone, etc of the scene and character. And as Hayao Miyazaki once said, "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself."
I hope all animators that will lose jobs to this ai will actually start their own animated projects and it will become their new bread As long as it’s not stealing from artists, it could be pretty useful and nice tool! It will not stop me learning animation, but i’m kinda hyped that i don’t have to be extremely rich person to make my wish come true and make my own cartoon series by not spending bazillion dollars to the huge team of animators, and i hope that lots of animators make their dream project come true as well!
This feels like a tool specifically designed to get rid of jobs. Just what corporate hacks who hate paying for art asked for. At the same time, it could be used to bring storyboard scenes to life of scenes that didn’t make the final cut. Technology should move forward, but laws need to be put in place to protect the integrity of new art and the jobs of the artists behind it.
To me these developments are encouraging. I don't feel that I have the time or energy to learn the skills, but with AI tools I'll eventually be able to tell my own stories as graphic novels or movies.
Yeah, now this is what I call a tool. Artificial inteligence is a field so much broader than the generative image ones. I wish we had more useful stuff like this.
This is going to be a huge opportunity for small studios and individual savants to create their own animations. It will affect in-betweeners but it also allows the opportunity to become a key frame artist. I predict an explosion in content production from this. Which is crazy because it’s already high, but into more obscure genres since studios won’t have to play it as safe due to costs.
It's cool and all but artists who actually put love and care into every frame of an animation will always be superior 2 AI artwork, again AI artwork is fine if you're doing it for fun and personal use but bringing it into the working field takes the soul out of actual artists👊
Yeah, something like this is a good idea because they can still have a job but just get the animations done faster. Although they will probably just put out more Anime, meaning more work. We might finally get some Independent creators doing their own works!
damn getting a whole anime from a manga is only less than a year away looking at this. I am unsure if people realize that when I look at the reactions here tho.
I think there's probably still a few problems since manga jumps from one action to another one in a different perspective so interpolating those would still be difficult. I do think this will help animators in coloring sketch guidelines faster tho. So they can skip an entire process easily and finish the animation faster.
You're thinking too low. We're already thinking of having ai write the story, create the character designs, draw the scenes and animate the entire damn thing. Literally all the pieces are already in play. All we're waiting for is the reasoning to keep it all coherent. And agents are already halfway there. The architecture and context just needs to be improved. The world is NOT ready for AI. People don't understand that within a YEAR to robotics will be able to replace humans. Within 2 humans will be irrelevant. We're in for a wild fucking ride. When AI gets generally 'smarter'. Every bit of 'IQ' matters in a BIG way.
@@WolfeByteLabs There is a difference between "can" and "will". Especially with robots. We are too compute limited, we are too production limited and lastly we are too digitalization limited. My job for example cant be replaced based on the simple fact that it almost only works with paper or a very very closed system. Integration into this would take years. We will absolutely get AGI in the next year, but that doesnt mean it will replace all jobs it can instantly. But we are really in for a wild ride.
@@globurim Maybe so, but also, we can let the viewer do the jumps. And I dont think models will struggle as much as you think they will. You can try and ask chatgpt what it thinks happenes between two manga images, that should tell you how well it works. Just copy paste the two images (maybe even as one image) into it, the free version supports it.
No, it is not. It does not look good. It does not change animation a single bit. All these folks from Hong Kong trying to use Miyazaki just butchered his art. Instant noodles are not hand made noodles, they don't taste the same and won't taste ever the same. For fast food manga low quality it will work. Nothing else.
try doing it using non existing animated ghibli panel. i dont see anything practical here. maybe it is just stealing from existing ghbili frames. use another sketch

@@jollygirl94 yeah
@hedgehogdatabase also lazy companies might use this and all studios have a workflow that isn't that easy to break unless it's game changing
Im not even an Animator but I still know that this will not help the animator that much. The ai generates its own facial movements which may be not ideal if its not ur intention.
nah , only shitty companies will use this crap . and those companies generally make crap noone watches and they eventually shut down . lazy people will always be lazy doesnt matter what tool they have in their hands
not gonna lie,I am a bit depressed as an animator doing inbetweens/colouring is how alot of us get into the 2d animation industry,so that being removed does not bode well to newer junior animators,hopefully the industry accommodates more people with these developments,but the spree of job cuts does not fill me with confidence.Really interested to see how I can fit these developments in my work flow,so I am slightly optimistic.I dont know the legal nightmare having ai inbetween will work in commercial animation since ai generated work has no copyright.
Well now you can make your own animations without having to spend millions to hire a hoarde of in-betweeners or spending years to draw mere minutes of video
“Ai has no copyright” who said that? And is this idiot who already implemented that in the law? And which poor country is this?

Its simulates human movements of disfigured human body, and Miyazaki reminded and took it like its a mockery to his disabled friend.
Eh, I'm not so sure. Miyazaki didn't take issue with using CGI to produce some of his long and short films. And we all know CGI is a tool used to cut down on costs and time, but it's often inferior to an all hand-drawn animation by a skilled animator. A trained AI basically becomes a better version of the CGI tool because it allows for mimicking the hand-drawn frames into a full animation.
@@PixelBard It is not boring tho
Please, make an Ai that does the dishes, the laundry and cleans the house so it is ME who animates instead of a machine.

2D/3D Animator here.
The colouring is impressive. It means you could produce a line test/pencil test produce two or three coloured frames, spend days on those to make them of much higher calibre than usual and then let the AI do the work. People are apparently getting artifacts. But you could make it simple. Inputting one layer at a time and use a chromakey colour to return the transparency / separation needed during comp. This could also be used to reduce the issues perceived when using 3D combined with 2D.
Right now, without it being 4K and the colour features not there its still in its infancy. Id like to see 32-bit image /masks sequences be part of the input and output.
Make it a tool, not a cheat.
The AI should be tailored to remove burden, to support the creative process of an animator, reduce labour intensive work and promote a higher output for audiences. Id like to see that creative control is maintained with our time repurposed to other parts of the pipeline.
A few years, and this will be mainstream.

I feel robbed. I feel violated. It's like a big part of my soul died. People that are not in the art scene can't comprehend how this whole AI art movement destroys our lifes - they just laugh and tell you how dramatic you are, ignoring the fact that artists (be it digital artists, 3D-model artists, voice actors, writers, animators, hell even musicians are affected) actually losing their jobs, get depressive and even end their lifes.
Art was a big part of our culture over the centuries, it made us human and set us apart from the animal kingdom. Now we sold our souls to the devil. We will gradually lose our creativity as we evolve. They call AI progressive, I beg to differ- it's more regressive than ANY of us can fathom at this time. No one can say with certainty where we're heading, but it can't be in favor for the artists. Hate the future.
Children's book illustrator and digital graphics artist here, hired for everything from logo design, tattoos, murals, custom character creation and novel covers. I've been totally replaced by AI. Within just the last 2 years my income was cut in half. It appears now us real artists will have to do the bland work of painting houses, since the creative world is being overtaken with AI, art created en masse by people who never learned how to draw a properly shaded circle. I'd never have guessed in a million years that AI could take over the creative world...instead it was the first thing to go. And I am in full agreement. Humans will cease to learn art. There will be ZERO incentive to spend your life honing your craft since there will be no money in it. AI will be what big corpos turn to and the time it takes to create a single piece, loving made by your own hands AI can do hundreds of pieces in. Oh yes you might make it as a traditionalist to those few supporters who appreciate the human touch, but come on that's a here and there income, and not a viable survival plan to make a career from. If you thought you'd heard people saying art as a career is a bad thing before, now it truly is dead. I am being told to adapt, to use AI to my advantage so I can turn around hundreds of products overnight too, and I just can't. It lacks soul and passion. Quantity over quality and partaking in the systematic removal of artist as we know it. I won't. It might look great but there's no human element there.

AI should've just been really good tax calculators, document sorters, auditors, accountants and all those tedious and dull corporate stuff. Who the hell woke up and thought "yeah, AI art sounds like a cool thing to invent"?
This is why I quit making art as soon as the recent advancements of A.I were revealed these past few years. I had to rip that band aid off because it hurt too much to pretend I wasn’t being replaced. We were already in a field where our audience didn’t respect our hard work so with this I knew it’d be a waste of my heart.

Hardware is harder than software to program to perform well. As you say, all that boring stuff will be left for us for the most part, sad but true.
well there goes my career before it even started
😢
Real
Poor guy, go touch some grass
Not really, my guy
This thing is phenomenal
I can now focus on improving my drawings and know that I can become a Fan-animator in the near future.
With all that said, this AI does small things like the ones said in the video. It does not contribute to complicated action scenes, and they have yet to be drawn by hand.
bruh, you can do your own productions on your own now.
in my opinion,AI is taking over and is making people LAZY,i believe in hard work and learning how to animate
as an animator i think the coloring feature is pretty useful because i hate coloring in stuff frame by frame lol
I agree
I see this as a tool animators can use to produce the vision of their work better. The artistic intent to make an animation is still there
i think youre overrating the tool, even if it were as good as you think, it takes a hell a lot of time to animate, if you can cut some of that, then do it, work smart not hard
actually, when i try to replicate any signature work using txt2img or img2img it fails terribly all the time.
if your motivation is to do the same stuff as ufotable studio with your own idea. one way or another you will face your AI assistant limits (so much of them), in such case you can :
1) adapt with the trades off
2) change your objectives
3) learn the usual way the difficult part to fix specific issues
4) pay someone else to do it (with ai or not)
i've been learning soo much just to render my OC that it is not lazy anymore, somes compositions took me 10h to get ACCEPTABLE for target audience. it could have taken me 1 hour with an artistic background AND stable diffusion.
funny how most of the example animations are from movies with a director that despises ai
But who cares about the artist or director or whatever when we can have less costs and free hentai (this is satire I hate this)

When it comes to AI "free" mean you are allowed to train it free for the AI's owner, once it is refine enough and the owner can offer a more reliable product you may be removes and now there is Ai that can work equal to you because you trained it yourself.
This is a good point to consider. Hopefully the tool doesn't require internet connection and that people are archiving previous versions so if and when that happens, people can make a branching product if it truly is "open source".
Probably the AI programmers already did that work, plus the AI probably has access to Pinterest or any image library to play with.....
Very true. Also using all these established animations is not impressive. The AI is just pulling from the original source lol
That’s when you will start to see paid AI that is pre trained
Why? Every work you do in a software is already used to train AI. Read terms and conditions for the program you use, the company can use your work for anything they want.
As a CG supervisor i think this may be the way to make 3d animation blend more seamlessly or masquerade as anime by using a sparse frame rate and letting it draw the tween frames. I'll post my findings.
interesting idea! looking forward to your findings
yup!
Leaving a message so I'm updated if you decide to publish.
Sir, I thought the SAME THING HAHA. People attempting to make anime with a software like Blender don't have to rely *SOLELY* on shaders alone. And they don't have to work hours on posing each frame
Based on the previews it often generate very CGI'sh look, so I don't know about this
I'm an amateur animator, and I tried this on some of my work, and essentially it makes almost no sense to me. Until such tools have a truly extensive list of functions for controlling what should move and how, I don’t think that such tools will make practical sense.
Well, you know, why do I need AI to generate zoom animations when I can do it much faster and without artifacts?
Yes, in the examples it looks good, but these are the materials on which he was most likely trained.
Although I think from the technical side it looks interesting. But it's nothing more than a toy at the moment.
Yeah, what ai is not achieving is characteristic within animation.
Which is the way something or someone moves that gives them uniqueness.
Take Carpet from Alden, Tarzan,
Or Naruto. Stitch from Lilo&Stitch
They're all animated to fit their characteristics.
Compare Sasuke to Naruto or Hinata
Naruto's character is usually more open, silly, or goofy while Sasuke is more relaxed, calculated or controlled. Hinata is more restricted. Than the two
Depending on the scenario.
If Ai can't achieve individuality within a characters motion, it's kinda pointless...or very limited.
6:10 Did you try this? IDK if it achieves your goal of controlling exactly the animation, but it looks pretty close to me. If between frames you can just do a sketch without colour of the frame you want it to generate, it seems pretty useful to me. Just the colouring aspect seems amazing.
Update me if you tried it.
@@lapoudrerouge7671 In the example, what the video author calls a "sketch" is actually the original animation with some filters. Real animation sketches look different.
Even if you only use this AI for painting - why not just use modern software that already does an excellent job of this task and gives you much more control.
For me, at least looking at the examples that were shown in the video, this is simply an attempt to pass off wishful thinking. I don't deny that from the technical side it's pretty cool. But I think it still has a long way to go as a tool that can actually be used to simplify your workflow.
@@DearFox Man please try it. I just wanna know what it would look like since I got 0 drawing skill.
How is automatic colouring not useful?
when I imagined the future I always knew that ai would replace us humans but I always thought it would replace the most manual labors not the creative ones this only will enable companies to further abuse their animators don't be fooled after all a machine can do it for you 🤦♀
Drawing inbetween frames is manual work
Real, i wanna be an artist in the future, and i feel robbed of the time i spent in art and animation now
People have to slave away doing manual labor while an ai that doesn’t have dreams or feelings gets to do the jobs that many people would die for. What a horrible time to be alive
tbh i think the creepier part is taking away self expression and sending us all to the manual labour lmao

I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself. - Hayao Miyazaki
FYI when Miyazaki said that, he was talking about some ragdoll physics engine similar to Rockstar's Euphoria physics system. He was not talking about AI, CGI, or whatever else.
Something tells me his opinion won't differ much@@johnderat2652
This is really mind blowing and would save a lot of time, but as an animator my self, knowing that this AI could still evolve to the point where it can replace us, It's just depressing.
specially for the aspiring animators, they will have no choice but to adapt. this really takes away the fun in learning and just skips a lot of parts that could be beneficial for the animators growth.
but I guess there's nothing we can do, it's the age of AI, and I'll probly have to use this in the future too, but I guess atleast I had the fun to learn it from scratch.

@@DimiArt don't give up brother, keep going. Love your animations btw.
@@Atokun thanks ill keep going! I love yours as well!
I don't know, I've seen many people saying inbetweening is tedious, not difficult
However you still need to have key frames or atleast 12 fps to get something decent with this tool, so it still requires human touch and control at certain extent
So it isn't like SoraAI that generates it from Scratch
The worst part is that people keep promoting it to the point anyone can just create art. And then in the future good art will either be just a common thing or something that nobody's good at
For all the artists out there that feel down because of things like this, listen to this.
Obviously, AI can be a powerful tool for annoying labour and thats a positive aspect, AS LONG as it is good enough to (technically) be a replacement of human work, which it still isnt by far. But okay, people say that its eventually gonna reach that point and that we will then be replaced - but no:
AI will never replace art or artists. We can only be replaced when we let it replace us and artists hate AI for obvious reasons. Its not only about how good AI gets, its about aspects that AI simply cant replace - like the sheer fact, that its created by humans. Beings that are capable of having feelings, thoughts and experience. The only people who see AI as more than tools or even as replacements are the ones too dumb to appreciate realness. No matter how good AI can get and how much this fact will satisfy the cattle, thats the one thing it simply cant be: real. And if theres one thing where realness is appreciated, its art.
Art of any form needs more than just prompts and references, it needs sentience and thought put into every step of the process. And even if AI became fully sentient, it still would only replicate realness better. And if AI became fully sentient id worry abt smth else lmao. Anyways keep it up to whoevers reading this

Multi billion company: About that .....
Inbetweening was always the ethical use for AI, I’m glad we’re seeing that now.
Yes! I've been saying this forever! O_O
Makes it easier
no it's not. Generative AI is ALWAYS based on the mass theft and ingestion - and then replication of massive amounts of stolen data. How do you think it knows how things move? By downloading 5 billion images in the data set - that's how. It doesn't know how water splashes or snow falls without massive theft.
That on TOP of that, it is trained by your data set for it's particular style adjustment means ZERO.
It inhuman - and based on theft, at the core of what it does - or it cannot do what it does.
ZERO ethics.
All of it is ethical
@@SidPil Agreed!
The amount of frames animators draw per motion is “decided” per movement and never “calculated”. So no, it will not replace animators, but it could def. be a good tool for speeding up certain processes, like auto colouring and animating parts that have a continues flow, like water or lava for example. AI is always morphing and tweening frames, which always looks not that great for characters. AI seems to be working towards its own particular style, when it comes to animation. It’s still impressive though how it calculates the volume of an object and tries to make it work.
The coloring aspect has me really excited, I’m not really interested in it doing the whole thing, but auto coloring is a game changer
You guys are so right. I think the sketch and color thing is the best thing to come out of this.
How cute, you think that eventually you won't be able to tell the AI...hey AI, I want 5 in between...😂
@@mcruz4571 I think if we keep going down this path we’re gonna end up like the people in Wall-E. If it progresses too far, we will regress. It’s better kept as a tool, not a replacement

Okay... the colouring is actually fucking wild. I mean a handfull of frames you can just tween for the most part anyway, but the colouring is definitely something else. Being able to storyboard and then running through an AI and having a full markup in a few minutes is... welp that's game changing.

@@noone7657You are right. AI is just another tool that will make a lot of peoples lives easier especially in a industry like this, but it is understandable that most people out there don't want a "drag and drop feature" to be the main selling point of there work. I (Like many others) want to look at something I've done and go "Damn I did that (In It's entirety)". But then again treating AI like its "The enemy of mankind" is such a overdone story that at this point, people just seem to be trying to fulfill some weird fantasy about its takeover, so idk 🤷♂.
@@noone7657 I may be. But I just think it's still rewarding. I don't want to feel like some robot took the boot for some of my work. I haven't animated in a few months, but I can 100% tell you that when I'm creating a piece of art, which animation is, I want it to be personal. Every bit of it sealed together in a nice package constructed by me. I know I'll still have the option to do that all on my own if I want to, but even if AI becomes perfect at replicating animation and art, I don't think it sits right with me that even part of it is made by ai. It's just like interpolation. It's not authentic. That bothers me in a way that's very difficult to explain. It's like, you look up to the night sky expecting to see stars, but instead you just get a dull hue of greyish blue or black with the occasional light from planes or helicopters in the sky. Sure, the beautiful stars are still there, but they're drowned out by light pollution. That new night sky has the night part in it, sure. Maybe a few stars here and there. But the real charming part of the night is looking up and seeing hundreds of tiny little embers glistening, knowing that those each fuel their own little solar system or galaxy. That charm, the possibilities of the human mind at its fullest potential, is completely absent behind the realization that a soulless robot did a hefty portion of the work. The beauty of the art is ruined for me with that. Even the greatest looking piece, the smoothest animation, or the most beautiful symphony... Can be reduced to nothing but a dull sky to me if it's revealed to have used ai for anything other than.... At most, idea visualization.
That's just how I see it. Narrow-minded, sure. But it's how I feel.

This is incredible for solo indie artists!
This is terrifying for professional animators.
I've been noticing a lot of AI videos and animations tend to be pretty slow paced stationary shots
yes, current tools still suck at action scenes. even sora is quite slow paced
if you break an action sequence down into scene by scene, you will notice that each scene is slow paced… it is the rate all scenes are composited in sequence that decides how action filled it feels.
still a bit of a ways to go before we get AI to do logical compositing of multiple scene sequences.
I think it's because the AI is trained to render up to 3 seconds worth of animation, and the start/end frame data it's given doesn't show enough motion (like the train passing at 4:20)
No one noticed the thumbnail?

Something you didn't mention was that in the course of generating the in-between frames the AI also adds secondary motion, ease-in, and ease-out frames. This makes a huge difference to what was previously just a sophisticated morph. While there are serious problems with entire scenes (i.e. completed shots) most 2D anime is created from multiple elements (animated action, foreground plate, background plate, etc.), and reducing the time to create animated elements for later compositing makes this a huge breakthrough. However, I noticed there are no lip-sync examples.
pika labs and runway ai have a lip sync feature , still needs refinement tho.
It's made by TenCent, has to be downloaded locally, and this video only uses examples from films where in-between frames already exist.
Who wants to to be the first to test this thing for spy/malware?

Not even keyframes; make your own anime while only making two drawings per shot.
You can even make animes of series that do not have season 2, seasons made by fans
This is the real win for artists right here. People are scared to lose their jobs to AI. Corporations should be scared artists will no longer need to be chained to their deep pockets to get anything longer than a 30 second clip done within a year's time.

@@littleman6950 But if everyone can just draw like 3 frames to get something, doesn't that mean that the areas to actually get better than others will be lesser?

In the end for corporations, money is always above morality and companies will just aim to cut the cost.

If you wanted to do animation you had no chances anyway, for every keyframe artist that gets to implement their artistic vision there must be 10 in betweeners who get no say at all, it was a zero sum game. If you tried to get hired at an animation studio, statistically you would end up one of those. Now that these tools are here you can make the animation yourself, draw your own keyframes and let AI draw in betweens. So you go from having 10% chance to 100% chance of being able to make an animation that would otherwise require a large budget for in-betweens.
That thumbnail is cursed, but this is amazing! Well done, glad I subscribed
lol thank you!
You're such a simple man.
This looks good, but I find it suspicious that all the examples given contain automatically generated sketches as inputs. For having trained GANs on similar concepts back in the day, we typically use some segmentation algorithm to get a 'sketch' from a colored image (or video frames) and use this to train the model. However, there are a lot of differences between automatically generated ' sketches' and hand drawn sketches from scratch. I would be more enthusiastic about this project if they showed results from hand drawn inputs.
I really appreciate the clear and concise installation walkthrough 🙏
Thanks!

@@Key-Knight87 Animators, effects professionals specials etc are already highly undervalued, long hours, non-corresponding salaries and unhealthy conditions. This is something they always complained about but no one was ever willing to care, at most it just became an inside joke among fandoms or complaining about the dubious quality of the animation. Do you really believe that when big producers apply this to the production process they would be thinking about professionals and not just about reducing expenses and then devaluing the salary of the animators?? It won't be something extremely technical that only a few professionals could do and that will create more "jobs". Your optimistic view is really cool, I hope you're right, but most producers don't care much about animations, what we see most nowaday are series being canceled or continuations of popular animations.
my first thought was "if this helps me do lineart and coloring faster then please i need it" i literally paused the video at the very beginning to vent in my brain how i wanted a tool that when make lineart for 1st frame it will copy it and adapt it to other frames so i dont have to manually do it myself. like imagine drawing same thing hundred times with only slight changes. no matter how much u love to draw or animated it will eventually get tiring and tedious that kills the joy. with this i can just simply go frame by frame making sure if its done everything correctly and implement corrections there and there when needed. same with coloring. i have to color only the 1st frame and let the tool do the rest of the frames and do corrections. this will speed up my process and i wont end up hating animating. i sketch all my animations myself and if any tool could help me with lineart and coloring id welcome it.
when it comes to anime releases idrc how long it takes. i watch it after few years of it being releases anyway. im patient with tht sht. in contrast if i was done with my animations i might have more free time to actually watch anime lol.
people have forgotten the fun of making art. so they get bored, fed up and lazy by letting the AI do everything. but there is no satisfaction in doing something that in the end you didn't do, the AI did. 😞
if you tell me yes but it's economically better this way, ok but if you wanted to get rich, if you only think about money why are you an entertainer? you earn much better and easier by being a lawyer, a doctor.
So, Corridor's vision for AI animation just became real.
I did a very basic test with two images of Link from Zelda I found online. It generated some random photo of a guys face morphing in to another guy. Very weird

it’s weird that you have been conditioned in a way that you think big corporations should be the only ones to have a voice and produce animation. most regular artist will be nothing more than cog wheels for these corporations while the top who are executives earn all the revenue.

1. If you’re describing how artists are treated in the industry now, ai is in no way the solution to that. While I think ai art looks like hot garbage most of the time, I can realize that general audiences can lack taste, and that studios wanting to use ai in place of artists to cut costs is a very real thing. It’s already happened in some cases. Why do you think the writer strike had writers striking AGAINST ai? Because they knew that greed has no limits and that their jobs and industry rights were on the line.
2. Now, If you’re convincing yourself that people will just make ai animated movies for each other, please stop; and attempt to be realistic for a moment. It’s actually difficult to write a rebuttal to this concept because it’s just that stupid and reminds me of previous promises like “crypto land.” In terms of logistics, where’s the money coming from that replaces the artists salaries and benefits that they had from studios? In terms of quality, as I already said there’s so much that goes into animation that’s being disregarded with ai, and that’s not even talking about the art of filmmaking.
3. Watch some TH-cam tutorials, Practice, Pick. Up. A. Pencil. Art/animation is more accessible now than ever for people to learn. It’s not that ai bros can’t, It’s because they don’t want to. That’s it. It always boggles my mind seeing ai bros attempt to use “it will empower artists” as a point despite it being VERY clear by now that real artists HATE this. You know that we enjoy drawing? That we enjoy the process of making art? It’s kinda the whole reason we’re artists.
4. Bruh……“Destiny?” Can we PLEASE stop with the utopia ai-fuelled future talk. Ai and nfts were always pitched this way to convince people to buy into it now and disregard any shitty practice that came along until “the future” arrived; and it worked. How bout we talk about today for a moment: People trying to make a quick buck have flooded online stores like Etsy with shitty ai generated products, burying actual artists who rely on their stores to pay bills in the process, The co founder of Dreamworks has said that 90 percent of artist jobs will be eliminated by ai, and some studios like Netflix have admitted to looking into how they can replace artists with ai. just recently, Meta (Instagram) has decided to scrape every video, photo, or artwork on their platform to feed their ai without offering people an effective way to opt out causing waves of artists to either leave the platform for alternatives, or use glaze and nightshade to protect their work going forward. (something we should not have to do)
5. Ai has done nothing for artists. it’s existence was built off of millions of actual artwork unethically, and it’s implementation in creative spaces threatens to replace actual artistic merit, with algorithms that spit out serviceable garbage for mass audiences.
@@JaxonPham you can argue all day. Explain to me how spending millions if not billions of dollars to produce entertainment serves the better for the world at large? Ever heard of world hunger? recessions? We're not gonna derail technology and do things the slower way in the name of 'art.' It's really not that complicated. Ai is like 3d programs, they lower cost tremendously. Hey, you know that we could all make sculptures instead of polygons right? why didn't pixar complain when they took sfx artist jobs? oh but now they give a fk?
Ai is a broad term, not all ai is derived from others work. Ai isn't the problem , it's not compensating the artist and their brand. TH-cam,limewire,vcr all committed these sins. The abuse should always have consequences and the courts will work itself out, but ai is not going anywhere. I'm not going to pretend it doesn't exist. If i want to produce a faster walk cycle, a tool like this helps me do it faster, you bet i'm going to use it. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, you can go ahead and make art the slow costly way, just don't expect your competition to give a fk, they and the audience don't care.
As for artist learning animation, yeah sure dude, learn all you want, so you can have an AD tell you what to make for them. slave away doing line work and being paid peanuts. Animation in japan is basically slavery. Ai is headed in that direction where artist can branch off and do their own movies(not one person) overall inexpensive animation cuts off the middlemen like executives and big studious and equals the playing field, don't believe me? TH-cam the platform you're on now allows everyone to have a channel and do their own stuff, back then you had tv with 3 channels and 99.9% of the world wasn't going to ever have an audience seeing them perform. Why all the sudden we want to revery to doing things like the 1990s? lets go back to doing television programming only while we're at it. If we follow your approach, the entertainers from the past would have made vcr illegal , youtube etc. battles that appear righteous actually do the opposite of what you intended.
Maybe now individual artist can express their idea instead of relying on million-dollar company that doesn't pay their employee well anyway.
The tool is more to fill key frame that the artist has to do to make a good animation. The artist can instead focus on the story and the key element like expression or combat scene or whatever complex thing that the AI can't do.
It also speeds up the process of making animation. People don't want to pass hours just to make a simple walking animation, or a camera rotation on the environment (Maybe you like it... idk). Instead, they can animate well crafted dynamics scene.
Big company already takes years to releases anime seasons. Imagine now how good storytellers can give us amazing work in a way smaller time interval.
People also complains that corporation would spam bad AI generated content. Well... why don't you eat shit? Because it's bad so you don't. Then why just watch the good show and cast away the bad stuff. There are a million video games out there, some good, some bad. You don't just randomly buy your games, you have reviews to look, a trailer, videos on TH-cam that tells you about it. Same for shows, really... You don't watch a show if no one watches it or people says it's bad.
Why not take the same approach for this future, where we can have access to many contents quickly. Where animators can find balance between filling shot assisted by AI, and well hand animated action scene. Where you don't need millions of dollars for a series. Where you don't need a full team to release season in 3 years.
I find this kind of tool extremely useful, and liberate indie animators, letting them express their stories.
Let me hear your thoughts.
Hollywood se mueve por el dinero además está ia no reprasa a los animadores sólo es una herramienta
That's fine for independent animators.
those who do versus on TH-cam.
They don't care about good quality, they just have fun.
Pretty much
As someone who has it as a hobby it sounds pretty good
As a frame interpolation generator to increase fps of animations is insane
This AI technology is a bittersweet.
Animator and animation educator here.
If you’re young person learning art and looking at this and getting depressed just know that I felt the same way when I saw Toy Story in theaters. I knew by the time I was old enough traditional animation would be dead and I was right.
It didn’t stop me though.
Every generation of animators will have a new tech they have to adapt to.
The only people who are truly threatened by this are people who want jobs that were being outsourced anyway. If you want to be a traditional animator in America Titmouse is the last studio and they struggle to pay their animators a living wage.
Before you came into the picture traditional animation was already dying… in the studio world.
That’s the beauty of independent animation. There are no rules as to what animation can or cannot be but too many animators feel like they need the studios but the studios don’t feel the same way.
They’ve been trying to get rid of artists and they have the money to hire outsource studios to do the animation for them.
SO, why don’t you just use A.I. against them to make something better than them?
We animators complain that the studios make garbage but when we have a chance to take the reins for ourselves we’re too afraid to do it.
Embrace it; don’t fear it!
Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
I feel like this will ruin the magic of animation. One of the things I love the most about anime is that it’s hand crafted. Not a fan of I’m honest.
it doesn’t ruin it if used wisely. It can save time while achieving the same results. For example, if an animator has to draw 30 frames, they just can draw 15 and other 15 frames with the help of this AI
the ignorance of how much work goes into making a piece of animated work, and arrogance of people like this, is truly baffling.
the only reason any of these examples look remotely interesting is because of the amount of human work and expertise that already went into those frames. i really struggle to imagine how people with no animation or storytelling experience could even come close to come up with something as charming as studio ghibli films for example.
and to anyone who believes the extra money freed up from saving time animating and painting backgrounds is sorely misguided, corporations and large studios will only end up hoarding more and more of the wealth, not reinvest it into the artists they're already squeezing of everything.... just look at the way studios like Pixar and Riot are laying off substantial percentages of their workforce to outsource to countries where they don't have to pay workers as much to do the same work.
good luck making your own indie animated film with no creative skills whatsoever, i'm sure it will have mass appeal and not rely solely on "pretty" visuals. seriously, screw you and anyone promoting generative AI, you're actively taking part in the erosion of the arts, and aiding greedy tech entrepreneurs and corporations in taking away our livelihoods.
Rule 34's gonna go crazy rn

investing in the GIF stocks
I’m a 2D anime animator, This is a good tip to use. But Forget this software, I’m going to start using this method manually by hand for my start-to-end frames for animation.
if you make art in the old way, you can use that as a plus, as marketing, it makes people interested "hey did you know that guy used absolutely NO AI in his work?" "what, really??"
its like if someone made an animation completely using paper and pencils and then taking a picture of them with an analog camera and doing the animation out of the camera's film rolls, stuff like that makes people interested and gives them that credit, so its gonna become quite the unique, niche, fancy, and highly respectable skill to have, you wont compete with ai, you'll walk over it, its like a high standard coffee brewer competing against a 30$ instant coffee machine.
Wow this is incredible! Your content is high quality👌
Thanks!

For someone especially an illustrator who wishes to create animation all alone this is like a dream come true.
I love the coloring! It would make animating detailed color scenes so much faster.
The ultimate test: Grab one of those multi-panel animated scenes from the One Punch Man manga and see if it can handle animating one of those well. It can barely do SD resolution so It's probably not taking anyone's professional job anytime soon (even with AI up-scaling techniques). but it sounds like a fun thing to mess with, maybe for gifs.
good idea. yeah the resolution is a major limitation
your first thought is to steal someone elses work, put it into a AI and claim it as your own? wow
@@hannahprivett1638 your first thought was to assume someone was going to claim a famous bit of work was their own without someone already knowing where it was from a thousand times over?
@@TheRealAlpha2 you’re just justifying your actions rather then thinking about them.

As an animator I find this surprising though I did notice things it can't do, it won't take over animators don't worry, experts will still be hired to correct the anitmation mistakes the tool does. I do find it interesting, not saying I don't like it, simply pointing out it can't do some things animators can do.
Broooooo…. coloring animations frame by frame is usually a nightmare. This right here is a game changer 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
The day of when a single person can make a full high quality 1-2 hr film is slowly approaching XD and I am here for it XD
thats not a good thing
😃😃😃
This is honestly a next step towards AI development. If open AI drops sora along with these tools perfecting themselves, we are really close to creating projects for ourselves.
... the death of mega studios right around the corner
@AvgJane19 death of almost 60% of jobs are right around the corner, any job related with non physical work is in imminent danger but this also produces more job as well according to some researches. Many new jobs will be created. So the best thing we can do is adapt to the technology, learn it. Do a course around AI and learn python for starters.
@@AvgJane19 No? They'll just use these tools for themselves, and use them to a much grander scale than us. Then the bar is raised once again
@jumpy2783 assuming that AI doesn't thinks for itself and creates a series itself. many people will be fired because need of hiring 10 people can be replaced by one person doing 10 person's worth work by using AI. Same thing happened in web development jobs, a senior manager fired junior web devs and did the job himself using AI. So better be careful and adaptful. While bar will be raised, jobs will be destroyed and created untill AGI and humanoids are achieved.
tbh these projects won't last a project if AI quickly gets developped to the point that we can type a few words and get a movie out of it, just like that one song generator. We would also be making projects for ourselves and ourselves only because the amount of these probably would flood the internet just like the AI generated pictures, it would be everythere and nobody would care about that one plankton in the huge ocean of vomit. Internet soon will be a disaster. and soon original ideas would be less original even more by the time goes on.
I am a trained artist with years of experience and I tell you that much: - see it for what it is: - a tool! Look, every year there are 100s anime projects coming out. They all get equal exposure. The good ones prevail. The aidience couldn't care less, if the dirty work is done by the A.I. as long the art is aesthetic, characters are lovable and the story / plot / dialogues are entertaining.
The rise of A.I. is a bliss for small productuon companies or even single authors / artists, who now don't need a $ millions budget and big companies anymore to make their projects come true.
As a manga / comic artist and author I see this development as an absolute win! Finally I can create something like "Made In Abyss". Alone!
Ofc for the 2nd echelon artists in the bigger studios this is rather the opposite of good, but there are plenty cases in the entertainment craft & software industry, where the fired employees started an even more successful company, that outperformed or even pushed out of business the company, that once fired them.
hopefully this will make traditional animation cheaper, so companies will start making traditional animation again instead of making 3D animations for cost reason
yes, hopefully!
@@theAIsearch instead of having to draw 12 frames per second, they only have to draw 4 or even 2 frames per second, will be much cheaper for sure!
It's not really true that 3D is cheaper than 2D when they are done at the same level.
It's only true when we talk about the lower end of the quality spectrum ( children's TV animation for example )
@@chrisunterberg4652 yeah, lower terrible 3D. But hopefully good 3D will remain (Girl Band Cry, Land of the Lustrous etc.)
To be fair, computer animation isn't actually cheaper. But inbetweening looks like a process that should be eliminated to business people (especially if you see a room full of people doing it) and to be quite honest, it sometimes feels like a process that should be eliminated while you're doing it.
this is good for artists, it can help them alot
No
This technology is gonna make it possible for more people to create their own animated stories without taking all their life away
not worth it for the heart and soul to be taken out of animation
@@Zion_k so you like poor talented people that can make a great film without AI from 3rd world countries having to take months of animating manually some demo video while they have other issues to solve in their lives during these months?

@@3deltaanglemusicno offense, but this happens in first world countries as well.
Yeheyyy they can finally perfectly animate berserk soon🤩
Its still pretty bad when stuff is going on
Whaaaaaaaaat, how is it free. Insane, thanks so much for sharing
As an animator, this scared me and makes me happy at the same time.
It scares me because now the competition to get a formal job as animator is higher because there will be less jobs for it.
But it makes me happy because I think that with this tool anyone, like myself, can make their own full projects. I will try to use this tool to make small videos and see how it goes, this is an amazing find.
thanks for sharing!
Holy SHIT the coloring thing is gonna help me so much💀💀💀
Incredible. What's always worrying however is managers and directors believing they can just use these tools to dump more work onto already crunched staff rather than allowing those hard working people the freedom to live their lives while producing higher quality art faster and more efficiently than ever before. The reliance on crunch as the default response in every situation is unsustainable and bad for everyone, the company included. Automation is a tool for higher productivity, not a bellows you throw humans into as a fuel source. The inability of the managerial class to comprehend the difference and see people as equal partners in their business rather than a resource (human resources is aptly named after all) to be exploited is why so many industries are falling apart right now. We simply don't have leaders anymore, only accountants styling themselves as leaders.
Here's hoping that as the economy crumbles and people clamp down on their wallets, these exploitative practices crumble in favor of independent artists using these tools to tell their own, more unique stories through animation rather than simply adhering to "broad audience appeal" to decide what gets greenlit.
What is the point of A.I. art? A.I. animation? To undermine an industry that is already in so much pain, of forms of art that people put their whole entire lives into? But, its better to have the ai not as a generator but instead as a tool. A tool that would help artists become better and find better ways to animate. But if you just want to make an animation without effort than there no point in making it, it's then materializing into jobs being useless. The only ones surviving being either the best of the best or the higher ups making any decisions when talking about manufacturing. Dont take this comment as a hate comment or a critique on any of this stuff. Just realize both sides to every situation and take everything with a grain of salt.
This technology is absolutely incredible! I've always fantasized about utilizing AI tools to accomplish this. These elements have the potential to greatly empower indie animators and animators overseas who often face the challenges of being treated like factory workers.
I think this could work well for pre production/ animator notes on movement(especially if you can train it on your won data),but for know it would be more effective to hand animate stuff,but it really is powerfull,but for a studio setting for copyright reasons I still see most commercial productions sticking to human cell animation.
For copyright reasons you would see this used more in bigger studios, because they own what the artists in the company make.
Every studio would have their own AI colorer and in-betweener based off their own work.
For sketches / displaying "high quality" ideas, it's great!
And or for people that want to do animation but don't have the time to learn it fully🤷🏼♀️
As an artist I love this. Saves me a lot of work.
as a beginner artist my dreams are slightly leaving my soul........
@@NightWatcher-NW ha you not ready to be an artist yet. I. Reality artist hate how long it takes to finish their vision. Most time it half done. Hopefully this will change it.
@@danielodeniyi8729 so you're basically saying that you'll make the art soulless to make it faster?
Also what does reality artist mean.
@@NightWatcher-NW An Artist "captures" or "renders" imagination/expression into a tangible artform. I remember the same conversation when Traditional Artist (Who drew each frame) had to face the industry when computers came into play (Digital Artist). That conversation is still going on today with alot of the OG animators on TH-cam.
Those cherry picked examples by the author looked pretty good, but holy the ones you tried were awful. Hand morphing, character morphing, exaggerated camera pans. The only good use case I can see for this is in the hands of animation professionals for inbetweens. That tracks with what the stated purpose of it is anyway. Using sketched animations to guide the system to create the color animation for you is going to be decently powerful if it actually works like they showed. I could see studios using that to save some money and time on unimportant scenes.
It’s gunna lead to a bunch of unskilled animators
That's one of my major concerns with AI, besides the ethical quandaries I have for it. The dataset will continue to dilute as more and more artists' hard and soft skillsets wither away, staying more dependent on tech, leading to an en masse entropy/ homogenization of sorts. You see it already with AI generated images. When there are so many of the same thing in quick succession, people will start to slip.
People always say that "Ai will replace human labor" is like "Heavy machinery and power tools will replace construction workers" 🤷♀🤷♀
This is a game changer. it doesn't need to fire the existing artist. Now they can pump out 3 series of anime at the same time with the same setup of the worker for one anime series.
Did the AI see these movies in its training?
Probably that and thousands movies, with extreme observation of every frame from each movie, just to practice
This only mimics animation that already exists, its not creating anything new just disrespectful to studio Ghibli and its animators. To anyone who wants to be animator please I implore you to learn how to draw animation it will be worth it animation isn't as hard as it use to be especially with todays animation software's. it most fulfilling to do it yourself, do not trust these scammers.
May you share the animation software you use? Or what is commonly used?
Because it's a tool. You have to come up with your own frames and let the AI finish it. He's just using Ghibli for an example. 🤦
@@Key-Knight87 the person who made this did not draw a single frame of animation that is on this video, he is using frames from Ghibli films that have already been in-betweened and scaming you into believing that it will effortlessly in-between your own created drawings, stop defending this nonsense
@@ItsKatinasWorld I'f you learn how to draw there's no 2danimation softwares you can't animate in. I started with Serifdrawplus it very simple to learn now im using TV Paint but there's plenty more you can use that are as simple just search on youtube
@@sandilemlambogoblination420 Yeah because he used it as an EXAMPLE lmao. If you really wanna use it as a tool, you'll come up with your own animations. I'm defending the software, not the users... 🤦🤦🤦
Maybe with AI we will finally have a worthy Berserk anime adaptation?
Anything is better than the 3d one
Or maybe I'll be proven wrong. Whatever the case the bar is low rn
As an aspiring animator, this is both terrifying and exciting. Yes, there's the possibility of big companies trying to use tech like this to cut costs and in turn fire people. But im also hopeful that AI can be a wonderful thing if used correctly as a tool for the animator, not to straight up shit out animation all by itself. I can imagine a future where this type of technology gets integrated into animation softwares, and you can just draw the key frames and tell the computer to generate the inbetweens, maybe set how many frames of animation between each key frame, and even letting the animator be able to go in and manually draw a new key frame or correct small mistakes made by the AI, kinda like how twinning works in 3d and flash animation. It's about making animation less time consuming but still giving the animator full control over the animation.
This tech is impressive, but a lot of times, in-between frames are made with intention in mind. Depending on how the in-between frames look can drastically alter the mood, tone, etc of the scene and character. And as Hayao Miyazaki once said, "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself."
I hope all animators that will lose jobs to this ai will actually start their own animated projects and it will become their new bread
As long as it’s not stealing from artists, it could be pretty useful and nice tool!
It will not stop me learning animation, but i’m kinda hyped that i don’t have to be extremely rich person to make my wish come true and make my own cartoon series by not spending bazillion dollars to the huge team of animators, and i hope that lots of animators make their dream project come true as well!
People getting so weird about AI
You guys do realize that it can never replace humans right??
People are overthinking this and its pathetic
It’s a tool of the future. And them whining about it won’t suddenly make everyone stop using it and improving the technology. It’s pretty funny
This feels like a tool specifically designed to get rid of jobs. Just what corporate hacks who hate paying for art asked for.
At the same time, it could be used to bring storyboard scenes to life of scenes that didn’t make the final cut.
Technology should move forward, but laws need to be put in place to protect the integrity of new art and the jobs of the artists behind it.
To me these developments are encouraging. I don't feel that I have the time or energy to learn the skills, but with AI tools I'll eventually be able to tell my own stories as graphic novels or movies.
Yeah, now this is what I call a tool. Artificial inteligence is a field so much broader than the generative image ones. I wish we had more useful stuff like this.
This is going to be a huge opportunity for small studios and individual savants to create their own animations. It will affect in-betweeners but it also allows the opportunity to become a key frame artist. I predict an explosion in content production from this. Which is crazy because it’s already high, but into more obscure genres since studios won’t have to play it as safe due to costs.
thanks for sharing!
Wasn't the AI supposed to be invented to do the dull and boring work for the human and NOT the creative and fun?
It's cool and all but artists who actually put love and care into every frame of an animation will always be superior 2 AI artwork, again AI artwork is fine if you're doing it for fun and personal use but bringing it into the working field takes the soul out of actual artists👊
you have just enabled me as artist to make anime myself now i i must work.
Yeah, something like this is a good idea because they can still have a job but just get the animations done faster. Although they will probably just put out more Anime, meaning more work.
We might finally get some Independent creators doing their own works!
Not only will In betweeners be out of a job but also those who color in the frames
damn getting a whole anime from a manga is only less than a year away looking at this. I am unsure if people realize that when I look at the reactions here tho.
a manga to anime tool would be awesome!
I think there's probably still a few problems since manga jumps from one action to another one in a different perspective so interpolating those would still be difficult.
I do think this will help animators in coloring sketch guidelines faster tho. So they can skip an entire process easily and finish the animation faster.
You're thinking too low. We're already thinking of having ai write the story, create the character designs, draw the scenes and animate the entire damn thing. Literally all the pieces are already in play. All we're waiting for is the reasoning to keep it all coherent. And agents are already halfway there. The architecture and context just needs to be improved. The world is NOT ready for AI. People don't understand that within a YEAR to robotics will be able to replace humans. Within 2 humans will be irrelevant. We're in for a wild fucking ride. When AI gets generally 'smarter'. Every bit of 'IQ' matters in a BIG way.
@@WolfeByteLabs There is a difference between "can" and "will". Especially with robots. We are too compute limited, we are too production limited and lastly we are too digitalization limited. My job for example cant be replaced based on the simple fact that it almost only works with paper or a very very closed system. Integration into this would take years. We will absolutely get AGI in the next year, but that doesnt mean it will replace all jobs it can instantly. But we are really in for a wild ride.
@@globurim Maybe so, but also, we can let the viewer do the jumps. And I dont think models will struggle as much as you think they will. You can try and ask chatgpt what it thinks happenes between two manga images, that should tell you how well it works. Just copy paste the two images (maybe even as one image) into it, the free version supports it.
No, it is not. It does not look good. It does not change animation a single bit. All these folks from Hong Kong trying to use Miyazaki just butchered his art. Instant noodles are not hand made noodles, they don't taste the same and won't taste ever the same. For fast food manga low quality it will work. Nothing else.
Well it does help artist finish some simple scenes so they can focus on hard scenes
Thank you so much for this demonstrstion and your commentary!
try doing it using non existing animated ghibli panel. i dont see anything practical here. maybe it is just stealing from existing ghbili frames. use another sketch
you can easily generate frames with SD & img2img
