I take separate depth maps for each, as well as supplementary shots to deal with things like clothing glitches and subtle lighting effects. Rather than using a small army of alts or friends, all of these figures employ my own avatar, and the images are produced by a composite of multiple shots of each. My basic process is to start with a composition that is, most often, comprised of multiple figures – because part of what I want to capture is the relationship between the young dancers, which must have been simultaneously close and supportive, yet also fiercely competitive. ( Original here on her Flickr.) While these images include multiple avatars, they are actually all her: Now that's we've all marveled at Scylla Rhiadra's stunning tributed to Degas paintings, Scylla pulls back the curtain to explain her techniques for turning raw Second Life screenshots into an image like the one she created above. ![]() I bet if the avatar was from the Elder Scrolls Online or another more traditional MMORPG, the AI would get even further confused!īy the way, here's what AI Writer when I asked it for the biography of my own SL avatar, "Hamlet Au":Ĭontinue reading "AI Weekend Challenge: Ask ChatGPT or Another AI About Your Avatar" »Ĭajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting If the AI hasn't been trained to "understand" that individual people also own virtual world/MMO avatars that they also talk about on social media, hilarity ensues.

"I wrote an article on Dutchie (two actually) and then there was that Dress Me Up blog challenge from years ago when I challenged someone to dress like a character from Mad Men." (Someone's avatar, that is.)ĭutchie Design is a longtime sponsor of New World Notes, which might have further confused the AI. Someone used one of my pics to illustrate a blog post." And then AI Writer pulled some information from that blog post. "When you look at the sources," as Cajsa observes, "you can figure out some of the bizarre stuff. The entertaining part is you can kinda tell what the AI was going for - and also see how far it went off the rails: It's the result Cajsa got when she asked AI Writer to create her Second Life avatar's biography, and the results are pretty hilarious and a bit insane. This screencap above is not a biography of Cajsa Lilliehook, New World Notes' longtime, beloved Flickr columnist, but a sophisticated, well-funded AI sure thinks it is. ![]()
