this is amazing looking tech! Seriously. this is why they talk about DeepFake video now. For the average person, one cannot tell the fakes from the realistic.

I found this post from @PYPT on #dreemport today!

Bluefin, I have to admit...there's a little concern about some of the ways this tech will be used in the future. Right now I have marketing ideas when it comes to novels and such, but I'll have to stay vigilant about what lines I think should not be crossed with this stuff.

Exactly right, the tech is amazing and in itself, it is NOT bad.
It all comes down to who is using it and what are THEIR morals!

[rhondak]

Precisely!

How far the tech has come in only ten years - beyond astonishing!
You just need to stay out of the hospital (and raise money for the computer/software), and you can do anything--your filmmaking skills are brilliant.

The learning curve is steep. It’s highly technical. I’ve fallen way behind in the near decade that I’ve been away from the CC and mod universe. But I still remember the basics. I understand bone assignments. I’m familiar with path-based physics. I can mesh. I can work with textures and alpha channels. Why let all those years of skill development go to waste? My brain hasn’t completely rotted. I think it can still dust itself off and get back on point.

You're still amazing! No atrophy of the brain here!

Thank you for the kind words, Carol. Yep, I definitely wish I had the money for high end hardware. Maybe if I keep dreaming and hoping hard enough....
