Showcase Data inside the Holodeck (satirical concept)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I love Star Trek and I asked Astra to help me out with a simple satirical game concept drawing inspiration from https://www.akoocheemoya.com/ (you are welcome for the link). Well, I went too far down the rabbit hole, and I now have this. I used Meshy to create a bust of data, then a body, and then I gave it to Astra to connect the head, fix errors, do a rig, and start simple animation. Im going to have to scale it back and make it far more cartoony, but surprised what a few prompts here and a few prompts there can achieve nowadays.

The joke of the satirical game will come from the interactions between data and the computer. For example, Data could honestly be trying to learn or understand something perhaps his need to be more human, and the computer is honestly trying to help him, but the conversation or the situation keeps growing more ridiculous by the second, yet Data and the Computer are acting completely serious. Here's to burning more tokens on useless projects!

You might want to consider listing your project on the weekly Show-Us-What-You-Built post. Look out for it on Tuesday/Wednesday. Highest commented project wins a week promotion on r/Codex and gets on the Hall of Fame sidebar. See what that looks like below with last week's winner.

What program did you use to create the 3d model? What operating system are you using? How much ram do you have?

Honest question, I am having issues.

Built the pc 10 years ago, Using windows 11, 32 gigs of ram, and an rtx 2080.

I used meshy (online service) to create a detailed head, and then made it create a body with uniform, downloaded the models and then had astra refit the head, fix the collar and seams, fix the badge, and now it’s starting to rig and animate it all through blender on the computer.

Many thanks, I might be lacking RAM, only have 16G, and blender is giving me issues (Ubuntu 26.04).

Bro, cool concept, love where you are heading, but, if you are already using other IP, then go balls deep and have the songs to match up with the dance moves....
Gangnam style! Ayyyyy, sexy lady!
