Many animations are being added to EVE. For example:
aura_speech_greetingstrimmed
aura_speech_docking
female_additive_face_fear
female_alert_talk_generic
female_additive_face_opensmile
And camera files.
These are animation files, for animating mesh of avatar. They have .gr2 file extension.
Will game receive 3d animated portraits with avatars being animated, with Aura playing major role in that?
The assets like backgrounds and poses shown in this video seems to be added. I found the backgrounds are the same files. Big resolution to look like full screen bacgrounds.
Sounds cool but I don’t have high expectations of it being implemented, mainly because CCP has removed the body animations that Avatars use to do in the Character Customization apparel screen.
That pretty much tells me CCP has no intention of giving Character Avatars more presence in-game.
Even if full 3d rendered character is beyond their ability it would be nice to have our 2d profile pics have the ability to motion capturer from our Web cams.
Deep faking does a great job with eve art as well as irl,
I think with how Cyberpunk made animation of faces automated, and only sound bits were used to generate the animations of lips and face, text to speach capability for Aura could be joined with such technology, and game would have everything basically being readable by her. Aura would became a Siri of EVE. And with facial animations.
