Comic Animation

These pieces are part of a proof of concept that followed from the visual novel experiments. The next obvious step was to use art extracted from comics and modified with an AI tool assisted artist to create animation.

The time to produce these animations was the most impressive aspect. With only a single developer, a comic book could be extracted in 2 days or less and the corresponding video produced in under 3 days. A few bottlenecks were identified, namely the creation of 3D assets and material mapping, but with recent AI tools these can be solved.

Not featured here is the next phase, wherein said art was used as keyframes and skeletons along with DAIN for moving characters instead of the static ones seen here.
