AI Toy Soldier Action

 After seeing several videos of animated toy soldiers on Facebook, I wanted to give it a go.

The first picture I used for animating.




This last one was really fun; Vikings vs Bunnies.
The animations mpeg videos: I converted them to gif, as I've used gif files before and if I want I can get individual pictures from them. I just hope this won't distract me too much from my gaming, as I was just getting back on track with my 2mm games.

    1. It's fun seeing the toy soldiers animated. Another distraction from gaming.

  2. Funny!
    I've tried to use Grok, but that didn't work for me.

  3. I used nauknauk for this. I've had 50% success rate. I'm still figuring it out. Still, just for fun it's not bad.

    1. I'm not sure exactly. I the battle there was a shape-shifter. I don't know if a bunny shape shifted to a Viking, or viceversive

  5. Your animations look good to me. Presumably there’s some technical way to get rid of the bases of figures - some of the figures in the third animation don’t have bases, so the technical “magic” seems to have worked in part. Anyhow, a decent effort 👏👏

    1. Actually in the third animation only the figures at the beginning were actually there. The AI added all the other figures. I was surprised by the waves of other soldiers. I'm just playing around with it, soo I'm not concerned with how detailed it is. In fact, I described the subject as toy soldiers, knowing the bases would show up

  6. That just looks amazing! I'd love to do a whole battle like that!

    1. I have seen other people who know what they are doing move individual units on a crowded battlefield. I would love to see what these people could do making a small film.

  7. This is something that I need to try doing myself.

    All the best,

    2. I would like to see what you could do with animated AI. I enjoy your Belle Epoque portraits; it would be fun to see your armies "in action".

  9. That was my personal favorite, too. When I converted it to a gif, I slowed the action down so it would be easier to watch. I have a couple of ideas to try out, but I really don't want to be distracted from a game I want to work on.
