A machine learning animation technology from the same creator whose work was infamously shot down by Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki in a viral video almost 10 years ago, will be used in a new evolution/god-sim game coming out next week.
Thing is, making a life-simulation-game thing with creatures powered by AI is interesting. Not necessarily gen AI though, not the ultra-costly large model kind in any case.
I am still waiting for something like Creatures to come back.
However, demoing the same technology to an animation artist… What did they expect? Of course it’ll sound like suggesting that they do the same thing, and of course the guys trying to do art will not like it.
And honestly, they went to the guy that was notoriously the least likely to be polite about this.
