Gianluca Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I've also played with city... I have a 2070s and in game it's choppy, but i can use the map for cinematic and the quality it's very very good.. majoraxis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majoraxis Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 @Gianluca I would love to see what you do with “The City” in the Unreal and python background remover thread! I just got a used computer with a 3090 in it. When I use the mouse to navigate there is a little screen tearing but it is playing back in real-time fine. When I use the arrow keys it is is pretty much smooth. I believe it is because I only have a 6 core CPU (AMD 5600). I also did not change the quality setting which can make a difference. My next move is to purchase a AMD 5950x CPU . And put a large fast second hard drive to pull the data from. When I’ve done these things I will have met the minimum specification for The City so I think it will be fine with mosts maps. The thing is for virtual production, if you are just loading a fixed set / location rather than a 4 kilometer area map with lots of AI traffic and crowds it should be fine for real-time if you meet the minimum specifications. What is fascinating to me is how Unreal Engine 5 basically uses / allocates resources so efficiently. It is as if it has a George Lucas producer mindset. What is the minimum to fool the audience by taking advantage of cutting edge technology… What I don’t think is there yet are the meta humans … so real actors shot against a live virtual background is about as real as Unreal can get right now… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is obviously most closely associated with music, it is this final one that I decided to use. The first commercially available MIDI synth was the Sequential Prophet 600 which I bought (and still have!) a couple of years after it was released in 1982 and in the intervening four decades (yikes!) I have used MIDI for numerous projects outside of just music so its not only a protocol that I'm very familiar with but it also offers a couple of advantages for this experimentation. The first that, due to its age, it is a simple well documented protocol to work with and the second is that due to its ubiquity there are tons of cheaply available control surfaces that greatly help when you are prodding about. Enjoyed seeing the Prophet 600 mentioned, bought mine in 1986 and it still works fine. Today, sorry to see the news on the passing of Dave Smith, the man who invented MIDI, and the Prophet. https://www.npr.org/2022/06/07/1103569627/remembering-dave-smith-inventor-of-midi-and-the-prophet-5-synthesizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHDcrew Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 This is somewhat off topic but the software has been mentioned here. I want to use Background Matting V2 professionally; it is very impressive. Essentially it used AI to perform rotoscoping of a subject, allowing you to “green screen without a green screen.” My concern however is privacy. The successor to this project, Robust Video Matting, has the following on its GitHub page: that it was developed at ByteDance Inc. I know this company owns TikTok and are known for storing user data on Chinese servers. My question is, is background matting v2 safe to use? I mean the developers seem like fine people, but the lead developer worked at ByteDance for a while, and just seeing that text I’m the GitHub description I guess got me a little worried. Should I be concerned?https://github.com/PeterL1n/BackgroundMattingV2 https://github.com/PeterL1n/RobustVideoMatting tupp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be concerned? Robust Video Matting appears to be open source, licensed under the GPL-3.0. If that is so, there isn't too much to worry about -- the source code is open for all to scrutinize.

I know there is RVM but I feel if you can get that clean plate, BGM V2 is better. tupp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupp Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I know that there are a lot of normal open source keyers, but in regards to AI keyers, I don't know what's available in open source other than what you have linked in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
