I created www.3D-Avatar-Store.com, a neural net driven, single photo to realistic lip syncing 3D avatar web service. It's a WebApp and WebAPI aimed at digital artists and game developers so they can put themselves, friends and customers into games, VR/AR, educational sims, advertising or whatever. I'm shutting down, as the revenues do not cover the extensive support requirements of indie and pro game developers, plus the hardware requirements force me to run a collocated server cluster that is moderately expensive to maintain - about $700 a month. Game developers, operating in their eternal crunch time panic, need a lot of support and they expect it to some with the API contract. I tried for years to raise financing, but investors need a lot of education to grasp 3D animation production, they have unrealistic expectations (always comparing our output to VFX from major release films), and often predatory terms that such investment never went through. If anybody wants to try taking over, they can contact me.
