Animate avatars with SPACEx πŸš€

2d to 3d avatars 😎 Text to SVG πŸ‘€ Personalized cold emails πŸ“§

Hey folks!✌🏼 With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I'm sure you're looking forward to some home-cooked delicious food. But before you stuff yourself, take a moment to catch up on the latest AI newsπŸ‘‡πŸ»

Animate avatars with SPACEx πŸš€

This is not your regular SpaceX - but one that can create realistic & expressive videos of people's faces using just a single image and some speech.

The videos look like they were recorded with high-quality cameras, and they feature the person's head moving around realistically as they speak.

2D to 3D avatars 😎

Next3D introduced new state-of-the-art 3D-aware Model that generates 3D images from 2D images.

This model uses a mesh template that is put on top of a static image to deform it, and they also get better results in terms of topological changes caused by hair and accessories.

Today's edition is brought to you by Movio ✌🏼

Right now, there are a lot of state-of-the-art AI models that let you animate your avatars with unprecedented quality and face movement.

But, it's still hard to set those up and run them.

Movio wants to help you create videos with animated avatars as easily as drag-and-dropping an image + script.

Yesterday, I tried their platform and it reminded me of Canva - it's that simple.I can see how this can be useful for marketers running video ads and/or new feature announcements.

They gave us 3 free minutes of video creation per month for The Prompt subscribers, and you can access them here.
