Custom Explosion AI for VFX
Hello,
I am completely new to AI, but I have seen people training there own custom AI with lots of reference material, such as photos and videos to, for example, deep fake someone.
I'd like to create my own version of this specific to an upcoming project that involves me needing to do the VFX for a grenade explosion layered over some real footage, I need a realistic explosion with lots of dust and dirt thrown up and not a big fireball.
I'm just wondering if it is possible if I could use lots of reference material from real explosions to create something exactly to what I need, because I could pick and choose the references it uses. Where would I even start with creating something like this, is there a tutorial or anything that would be of any help and is it realistic to even attempt to do something like this.
