SIGGRAPH 2020 | Learned Motion Matching

So many games even to this day have choppy transitions between animations, it's always something I catch on to and it honestly ruins the immersion after seeing a character go from walking to suddenly skipping to a standing position with a shitty transition. This is incredible, and I can't wait to see this implemented into the workflow of AAA games!

There will always be the need and desire for a human touch, that is where the art, talent and passion originates after all, however, A.I. machine learning is beginning to kick down/open doors that were inaccessible because of limitations for one reason or another. Now we're seeing it utilized for animations to visuals, the latter exemplified near perfectly with nVidia's DLSS - Increased fidelity *and* major performance gains? Incredibly impressive. Now if only we could see this branch out to gameplay i.e. enemy A.I. etc. The one aspect of gaming that I've always thought was behind the curve comparable to every other field was A.I. - Look at F.E.A.R. released in 2005 has better or equal enemy A.I. to a 2020 title, Halo: CE for its time, plenty of examples, A.I. is either quite dumb or it's too "smart", OP with telepathy and X-ray vision. Excited to finally have legitimately smart opponents, there are some currently that are good, but I know we can do better.

[@evilgibson]

Is this using a single models per basic form (dog, person) or does the model have to be separated into submodels like what a small person does to a chair compared to a very large person? To people that are going to respond about how does a character 3d model have to do with this that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about nn ai models

UPD. Seemingly AC Shadows won't have learned motion matching tech. 🗿 it's almost same animations from Valhalla and mirage. Sad, but true 🥲

[@googleyoutubechannel8554]

This is neat, but feels like a band-aid on top of duct-tape. I wonder if there will ever be a general effort to tackle the elephant in the room for all current 3d environments, including all games, even RDR that put over 500 mill into development... doing actual physics modeling for characters, even at a gross scale, instead of trying layer upon layer of tricks hoping humans will learn to ignore immersion breaking problems. This characters clearly do not even take into account gross COG, let alone realistic joint dynamics. Its sad that constant 'floor sliding' and obvious solid object clipping in 2023 is considered state of the art for SIGGRAPH demos and AAA titles.

[@sanketvaria9734]

No offense, this is just a gimmick for AAA studios. Sure it will make viduals look better but it doesn't matter that much.

[@gleam6370]

Animations don’t matter? Animations? The thing you’ll be seeing 99% of the time?

[@sanketvaria9734]

@@gleam6370 never said that. The extreme level of details doesn't matter when you are deeply immersed. If you want to not play the game, just stand and stare at a scene in game with focused eyes then yes it matters more than gameplay because at that time not having the detail will break the immersion. Same with every tech, when I am playing I don't even notice DLSS' artifacts, but I stop and judge frame instead of playing then I will find them.
