This is truly amazing a game changer! All this in real-time running inside UE5. Hat's of the guys at ZIVA VFX!! Anyways I am currently on a waiting list to try it out! Apparantly the tool uses a library of 4D facial scans with the help of machine learning AI to create life like facial expression. I have a feeling that it is very much like deep fake. Just my thoughts but we will wait and see 🙂

Love, Death & Robots

Love, Death & Robots... how did I miss these mini episodes on Netflix for so long! Some amazing CGI shorts... 

My favorites listed below: 

1. Beyond the Aquila Rift (Loved it!) 

2. Zima Blue (The way the story twisted and the overall stylization) 

3. The Secret War (Always a big fan of Metro 2033 vibe and a post apocalyptic world doomed by underworld creatures) 

4. Pop Squad (Fascinating storyline, CGI stylization loved it!) 

5. Snow in the Desert (One of the best CGI humans!) 

6. Life Hutch (The integration of live action + CGI blended so well that at some point it wasn't uncanny and very believable. 

7. The Drowned Giant (A Drowned Giant on the beach... narration nailed it!)
