Hey! That’s my project!
Code and dataset are here: https://github.com/facebookresearch/AnimatedDrawings https://github.com/facebookresearch/AnimatedDrawings
And a browser-based version of it is here:

- qainsights 3y agoCool project. Just tried with my kids. They enjoyed it. Is it possible to download the video?
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- hjessmith 3y agoI assume you're referring to the demo at sketch.metademolab.com? The server is returning an .mp4 file that is displayed by your browser, so you should be able to download it. On Chrome, if I maximize the video and click the three vertical dots, I get the option to download the video.
- qainsights 3y agoThanks. Yes, I figured it out :)
- Knucklebones 3y agoOn the online demo, you can also download by clicking 'share' at the end (there's an option in the menu that shows up).
- liveoneggs 3y agomy kids and I had a lot of fun with the sketch version while killing time in a hotel room a while ago.
- tomcam 3y agoAmazingly good demo. You rock. Also you're apparently very, very fit and flexible. I pulled a hamstring just watching the dance.
- hjessmith 3y agoIt's equally important to stretch before coding and stretch before dancing.
- tomcam 3y agoI’VE BEEN DOING IT WRONG THE WHOLE TIME
- marai2 3y agoI'm definitely going to start stretching before coding now! Maybe even 15 minutes of yoga before debugging.
- mind-blight 3y agoHonestly, that would be so good for your health. You'd go into your 30s, 40s, and 50s with much less MSK pain.
- doubtfuluser 3y agoThis is really a fun project! Is it actually possible to use the code and create an app for sale out of it. The MIT license says so I think, just wondering if anything else would speak against it.
- hjessmith 3y agoI don't know who would speak out against it. The MIT license certainly allows for it, and I don't actually own it... I just wrote it :)
- ac50hz 3y ago+1 This is a pleasant take. I may borrow the sentiment expressed here to help me describe some similar distinctions.
- upmostly 3y agoI'm working on an app called Monstdraw.com that uses this code if you're interested in collaborating? My email is in my bio.
- hjessmith 3y agoI’m curious to learn more.
- cstrat 3y agoThis is AMAZING, my 3 year old draws the cutest pictures and I can animate them! One thing with the browser version, it all works fine up until the animation and then its flipping my image upside down? Could this just be the photo metadata rotation/orientation??
- hjessmith 3y agoIt’s not metadata, you would see that when you upload the photo at the beginning. I’m guessing that the nose key point is located below the shoulders in your child’s drawing? That’s a known issue caused by how we ‘apply’ poses onto the characters. It’s fixed in the GitHub code but not in the browser version. Try moving the nose keypoint to the top of the characters head and that should resolve it
- cstrat 3y agoAhh yeah that is it, haha thanks :D cant wait to show her
- eurekin 3y agoImagine future job market, where a 5 year old will already be super familiar with the T-posing, which currently mostly CG artists now about
- tealpod 3y agoThank you Thank you Thank you, my kid loving it. I will be happy to volunteer and help in anyway I can.
- SanderNL 3y agoThis is great fun. Thank you for giving away this work and so accessibly. I got it working in minutes.
- the-mitr 3y agovery cool project!
- greggsy 3y agoThis is really cool, and refreshingly simple in the current landscape of generative tooling. I’m interested to hear your thoughts about the inevitable monetisation that will occur once someone wraps this into a horrible app with ads? Maybe someone else can answer the related question of how the respective app stores deal with attribution-based code licenses?
- hjessmith 3y agoYeah, I think that'll happen. I think it's already happening. And if someone wraps it in a terrible app with ads, makes millions of dollars, and I never see any of the money, yes I'll be very sad. But I'm trying to take a bigger perspective here. There's a lot of experience and tools that could be built off this, and I can't possibly build them all. And if I hid the code away so only I could use it, there's a good chance no one would ever create any of those experiences. Creating a successful app requires mobile UI people, devops, designers, marketing/SEO, monetization, etc. I don't want to do ANY of that... in the land of app creation, I'm more of a Tom Bombadil-type. This is also my first project out of graduate school. I feel like I'll probably have other ideas down the road, and maybe I'll try to monetize those ones with what I've learned from this adventure.
- sva_ 3y agoWould be nice to add a queue. Went through all the steps and then it said the servers are busy losing progress.
- ngram23 3y agoGreat work. Online comic strips are going to be next level!
- Awelton 3y agoThis is a really neat idea. My son got such a kick out of it that he has been drawing new characters for two hours now.
