Bree Giffen Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hey all, I saw this article just recently about this website that can animate old photographs using AI and decided to run my Bree avatar through it. But, instead of just a regular SL pic, I used one that was run through Artbreeder which is another AI based website that transforms your portraits. I made a thread about Artbreeder a while back. Step 1. Make a portrait on Artbreeder. https://www.artbreeder.com/ Step 2. Run that portrait through Deep Nostalgia. https://www.myheritage.com/deep-nostalgia Voila! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwar Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Okay, that's pretty cool. If a bit eerie. Couldn't be bothered to figure out how to get it embedded though, so, a gif of the mp4 playing from the website! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thanks for trying it out Orwar! I have to say that these moving images look a little .. surreal. Anyways, I didn't embed the image from the heritage site, I converted the mp4 to a gif and uploaded it the SL forum. I shoulda used a 3rd party image site like you did.

The movement blur in mine reminds me of older film ghosts .. I may have to exploit that. 4 minutes ago, Bree Giffen said: Anyways, I didn't embed the image from the heritage site, I converted the mp4 to a gif and uploaded it the SL forum.

The Gyazo desktop ap is awesome for capturing quick gifs and snaps when you only want to capture a portion of your screen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sire Sands Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) I used the same tools, took the MP4 images and turned into GIFs online. Best, Michael / Sire Sands Edited March 2, 2021 by Sire Sands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Aurelia Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) How fun! I gave this a go. I just used one of my latest pictures and got a pretty cool effect without Art Breeder.

It made your avatar smile! 😁 I wonder why it doesn't do that for everyone. Maybe it's random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Misfit Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I got completely different results using my normal avatar portrait and the one I ran through Artbreeder. The Artbreeder one (attached) doesn't really look like my SL avatar to me, but I was quite happy with the other one. But she is smiling here so I posted it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's random. I think there are several animations. I tried it on a couple of other pictures after that first one, and there wasn't a smile on most of them. I got lucky that my first one turned out okay really. The uncanny valley is strong in the Deep Nostalgia algorithm . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl Herber Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I didn't bother with Artbreeder when it told me that it would take up to an hour to process, so I skipped straight to the next step. No idea how to convert it to a gif but I was disappointed. It doesn't look as good as SL animations and it seems a bit "off", especially the eye movements.

BelindaN Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 If you look on You Tube, there are some early photos which have been coloured and animated. Probably using this software. Some famous people included from back in time, it's worth a look. Search on old photos, and it should pop up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
