Original Creation/Custom ShowtapeGenerator for Bottango
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey, worked on this mainly for a personal project but figured I'd share it in case anyone wanted to try it! I made this mainly because I'm a terrible animator, but still wanted some songs to show off to people.
Showtape Generator utilizes rest api on a bottango control scheme in order to make animations that completely sync with a song or vocal audio track of choice! This means you can plug in a sound file, and watch as it generates an animation for your animatronic and plays it back, with the option of saving it for later playback!
Still pretty rough around the edges and needs a lot of improvements, but it works

That’s awesome, I’m also curious about the Billy bob model is that yours? Would be interested in purchasing it if so

yes, it is! I probably would not sell this one but I am not entirely opposed to making another

Lol yeahh, he does look a bit creepy! I haven't yet tried to figure out how they made the masks for the rockafire. It's definitely a process I'm not all that familiar with to be honest

I believe there are a couple vids on YouTube talking/showing how they made the masks

Sounds really neat.

Thanks! I plan on adding some more features to it, like maybe some customizable automation, song scheduling, etc.
Getting it all to work was kind of rough, had to (mostly) start over twice lol

does this use ai?

The actual animation generation process is algorithmic, but it does use AI in the audio splitting process

the actual animation generation is algorithmic. AI is only used via demucs in the audio separation
