[Test] Animated scenes

Post 4 out of 4

TLDR: Link is all the way down if you just want to ignore my blabbering and head straight to it.

So it took me a lot of troubleshooting and patching up some nuances in python dependencies, modules, nodes, etc. Don't actually like Comfyui with its setup and how its unnecessarily being complicated for the sake of the look of complicated. I gave up a while back, but decided to take a look at the current progression for how AI is doing for animating still images.

It is very rough and takes a long time, each process takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour 25min and I generally get bad results. These are the best I have so far and unfortunately it did take a significant time away from me working on some commissions + the polled characters so I apologize on the delay for those.

I'm trying to juggle time between testing different settings on these videos and the sets I'm working on. As far as I know, or at least what I'm seeing and hearing from the community is that its not very friendly towards anime/2d style as most of the work was done on realistic/lifelike images, so in these animations you will see distortions on the face (loss of detail).

I did try and get some royalty-free SFX which most of what the ones that have audio. There may be a familiar sound for 2 of them that I did strip and extract audio from specific sources.

I did try to sync them up, but I realize its a lot more difficult than I imagined, but I do have the non-audio versions in there (not all of the animations will have an audio version) if it feels off putting.

I did find that it does not cooperate with many positions/scenes (similar to how AI first started and not understanding how hands work, positions that required some initial drawing to get started). I found that Missionary and Doggystyle worked fine (took me about 4 or 5 tries before getting a successful one, which was several hours)

So here's the link, I hope you enjoy them. They're not great, but maybe they're enough for a good time I hope.
