One paper away: The AI can learn the muscle movments to pronounce Dr. Károly Zsolnai-Fehér's name correctly.

“What a time to be alive!” This is the most optimistic channel on YouTube.

[VoxelMusic]

Finally we can simulate what Dwayne Johnson would look like if he was real.

[Pion]

That cg bicep flexing was one of the coolest things I've ever seen

[GrantKot]

0:45 T-800 survives truck explosion and resumes primary objective.

[DisturbedNeo]

Shoot, now my papers are all over the floor.

Should’ve held onto them.

[randomgooy]

Now we just need a simulation that understands gym equipment

[ExplodingWaffle]

what the heck? this is so cool for simulations, i think i’m in shock: next time, remind me to hold onto my papers 😛

[KonamiKonami]

We nerds finally figured out how to get muscles!

[eugenevarbanets]

This could be used for an algorithm to find the most effective martial art movements/or any other movement

[EC]

Imagine having a VR body in VR with these virtual muscles running in realtime..crazy.

[LordAngrim]

This opens so many doors in so many fields
*Amazing!*

[romajimamulo]

2:37 "it can also do muscle growth simulations"
I can think of a few animators who would want that

[AZ-]

“Muscle growth transformation” rule 34 is pleased to hear this

[johntheux]

2:31 3D anime characters transformation, here we go!

[Devanshgupta]

Imagine this being used in the fitness industry!

[heinrichwonders]

Yes, please! I want this. I am tired of bad looking elbow and knee joints in my video games.

[AvonisSoCool]

Imagine this thing get perfected, And implemented to game.

Then new era of realistic gaming begin.

[DerSolinski]

woha... this could be awesome for VR avatars, along with some inverse kinematics and a nn for figuring out how to grip stuff.

[pimvanlotringen]

I can imagine this being of great use for fitness YouTubers and the like
