🇺🇸 For a deployed service member, missing family moments adds up. Baby’s first step. The first performance. Sharing a laugh.
In honor of National Day of the Deployed, we’re excited to partner with @USArmy and @The_USO to bring Google Beam to 20 locations so deployed service members can experience lifelike, 3D video connections with their loved ones.

I guess they are 12 if I consider the 2 years spent at Spotlight Stories as consultant.
Let’s vibe code the next 3652 days!!!
The GNM paper is out!

As (self assigned job title) “Syntethic Anatomist”, my main contributions were creating bazillions of procedural teeth, ears, skulls and tongue datasets.
Congrats to the Team for an amazing job! Can’t wait to work on what’s next!
Going off model?
Sculpted a new head?
Wrapped GNM on your custom head?
No problem!
Project your mesh on PCA with github.com/google/GNM/blob/m… and recover identity or expression.
Compute the vertex delta to capture the remaining error.
If you have a custom GNM mesh, you can project the PCA parameters with the code found in the repo, then compute the vertex local delta and apply it to an new GNM identity and expression.

Expanding on @soyposmoderno Blender GNM blending, here is a Houdini HDA that transplant parts (nose, jaw, etc.) between identities while preserving the recipient proportions. The chosen donor part is scaled and transformed to fit and the skin relaxed.

Make peace with your inner creativity, fall in love with great storytelling and fight the arrogance of ML data with human ingenuity.
Go watch #TheWildRobot !!!

Proud of the work we are doing (with some help from my Team)…
Augmented reality can break down communication barriers – and help us better understand each other by making language visible. Watch what happens when we bring technologies like transcription and translation to your line of sight. #GoogleIO ↓
After a bazillions views, I’m still finding small amazing details. Bravo Marco!!!
Finishing up this quick project with a short animation test. Kept the rig simple and only with controls I needed for this test

I just found this amazing piece of memorabilia tucked in an old animation book.
In 1992 Oscar and I got an Award for a CG animation at Salone di Lucca.
Sitting next to us: Ollie Johnston, Frank Thomas, Giorgio Cavazzano, GB Carpi, Disegni & Caviglia and Jacovitti!!!

An interesting morale for a wonderful gem of a movie! Thank you
