Why do I need an account to use this?
- axg11 5y agoGreat question. The account only exists to manage the payment and subscription. I toyed with the idea of providing the service for free but it is very compute intensive. Each model takes approximately 20-30s on a modern GPU.
- jdauriemma 5y agoThanks for that explanation!
- bsenftner 5y agoHmmm... I did this startup idea in '08. Counterintuitively, nobody wants to pay for something like this. I charged less than a dollar, (my compute was less than 3 seconds for a complete full body avatar, btw) and the quality was significantly higher than here. Check out what's left: https://twitter.com/3DAvatarStore/media https://twitter.com/3DAvatarStore/media I had full bodies, extensive facial editing, Maya rigs, automated lip sync, hair/wigs and clothing, export in known game formats... you need to provide a shit ton of free, and then educate the end-user constantly because this type of tech attracts a lot of low tech consumers.
