New METAHUMANS are TOO REALISTIC in UNREAL ENGINE 5.2 Unreal Engine 5.2 ML Deformer can be utilized to achieve lifelike deformation on your own real-time characters. It shows an approximation to a full muscle sim that takes 1 minute per frame normally. Also does cloth approximation.

Generative AI artwork is incredible, but for me, this video is one of those moments when you really can feel a new piece of science fiction becoming reality.

The next generation of game character creation is coming.

Watch a human character deconstructed and reconstructed in a few seconds.

@finmetry.bsky.social come next time

So nice to meet in person! Friendly and genuine meetups not as common as they should be, so 🙏 for making it happen.

going to drop in something I wrote back in 2021 paulfrazee.medium.com/the-anti-parler-principl...

This is an example of creating a protocol to serve fairly specific use cases, which makes it more likely to succeed.

Having observed “semantic” efforts like this for a long time, it does seem like @atproto.bsky.social is a good example of how we might learn from past efforts to add simpler and scalable, interoperable structured data to web-distributed applications.

The great danger when building frameworks is that you build something useful for all kinds of things but not essential for anything in particular.

Good to hear! I’ve had similar thoughts. One of the first times I’ve been cautiously optimistic about efforts in this direction in many years. Going to explore and give feedback as well.

In contrast, adoption of SEO micro formats or HTTP/2 was very extensive, because it was incrementally adoptable and websites and devs had immediate, selfish incentives to use them.

Many well intentioned, technically superior ideas have not gained adoption because they were not designed with incentives in mind.

For example, years ago, many smart people spent years on Semantic Web designs that never had real incentives for use.

Exactly this. Only thing I’d add is all this hinges not just on useful primitives and tools, but with the incentives for content creators and developers to adopt protocol features, at each stage of adoption.

I wonder if Bsky traction in Brazil is related to how the same thing happened back in the day with Orkut.

I’m glad I happen to understand Portuguese (personally it’s kind of fun), but the fact that my What’s Hot feed is half English/half Portuguese is not what I expected. bsky is def going to need to implement a language filter soon to make that feature broadly usable.

Perhaps horse culture is a third culture.

Good interview. New protocols are very hard. Any discussion of whether a new protocol will work has to go deep into both the technical details and the incentives for using it. But I’m cautiously optimistic:

But did home school kind of mean you’re used to knowing your background doesn’t quite fit in? And my feeling (maybe just me) is this is in a way like third culture perspective.

It’s a lot of people but most Americans are single-culture. :)

Haha Wikipedia has a whole article on it

Oh sorry! People raised in a culture different from their parents’ culture. Like some immigrants who are very bicultural, kids of diplomats who grew up traveling? kids of parents with very different cultures, etc.

Do you find you get along with third culture kids? I like all kinds of people but noticed over time my closest friends were usually third culture.

I’ve wondered before if “homeschool vibes” are a thing. I think it is easy to recognize when someone has a deep sense of what it means not to fit into a single system.

Yeah, never went to school at all then switched to part time community college at like 14, which was a bit different socially (to say the least) but by and large it worked.

Was nice to meet folks!

I only just now realized that Florida has keys with no locks and Panama has locks with no keys.

Perhaps not the craziest, but this one is definitely a little odd. Not really scientific but who knows, it might have some truth. The legendary coach Charles Poliquin was a big proponent of it and used it (apparently successfully) to train Olympians.

I’d love a feature where I can paste the URL of my own tweet thread and the client just unrolls it into a thread here (and you could re-edit). Has this been done yet?
