I'm loving the tools we have available right now. So I took this image of myself. It was from like a photo shoot I did a few years ago and I uploaded it into chatgpt here and I said turn me into a 3D video game character in a T pose. This is what it gave me. So now I've got a 3D video game character of myself standing in a T pose. I went to Tripo 3D AI and I selected single image and then I dragged this 3D version of myself into Tripo 3D here. And now I have a 3D model of myself that I could do whatever I want within a game or Unreal Engine or Blender or whatever. Let's go ahead and rig it up. And now I can make it walk and even do a somersault. I mean it's not the greatest 3D animation in the world, but it's a heck of a lot further than I was able to get like last week.
