    Waifu 3D interactions!

    Technologies, progress, I love them.
    Just read that article on Endgadget : http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/23/l...y-turns-2d-3d/

    With that Video:



    I feel like 3D waifu integration into smartphones, tablets and comps will get very interesting in the months/years to come. Touch, voice, camera... these will bring fun interactions with your waifu.

    Have fun!

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Rather than some smartphone waifu application, I'd want that technology to allow a group of amateurs to eventually create fan made anime. Although considering the poor financial state of the professional anime industry, I wouldn't mind it lowering production costs over there as well to allow more of the studios to survive.

    I can see it being used in VNs first, though there's not exactly a huge push to increase the amount of animation in that format. Maybe it could make it slightly more interactive..

    Next step is to make these things holographic with the ability to project them throughout my house. Then they'll truly be virtual waifus.

    Well, you still need pretty good animators/artits as the guy says. It's not like the tool makes it easy to come up with creative and appealing designs consumers will get attracted to.

    Regarding economics, I'm wondering if all of the industry from manga, to franchise, to objects and all is really that bad. Otherwise why bother?
    My guess is that parts of the ecosystem are at loss, probably because no one cares, while the rest of the industry is fine...

    Cool, but these kind of animations have existed for years, kinda surprising it took till now for someone to see a market for it in tablets.

    Are you talking about cell-shading, or user-input-changing animations?

    The way the picture responds "uniquely" to the directions of the user instead of executing pre-set animation patterns?

    Because that's what they have been doing all their lives and have invested in everything they have? Sure, I reckon individual labourers change frequently enough, for various reasons, but there ought to be a majority of people who stick to the business. Considering the studios, people in commercial business often run their place till they retire (or die), go bankrupt (or are in real danger of), get bought out... It's not like they would suddenly look at the horizon and think: "This is no good, let's change this animation studio into a retirement home for the elderly."

    there is nothing unique about it, there are just layers that are linked to a number of bones, or links.
    Think of it of a skeleton that just moves in the direction of input, whether that is touch, scripted or directionial doesn't really matter.
    The art layers are just linked to these skeletons.
    Here is an example

    You've been watching too many harem anime.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    I think you have them confused with MORmans.
