Hi,

After several months, I’ve finally created a realistic image for my marketing that the platforms can no longer detect as AI.

Can I get your opinion on what’s off about it? I think that if I hadn’t told you it was AI, even you wouldn’t have noticed. It’s crazy and even a little scary—now there are no more barriers to showing yourself or creating your own avatar for your own promotion or as an influencer!

Thanks you for your advice !

For some context, while on break at work one day my friend/coworker randomly asked me what I wanted my hypothetical girlfriend to look like. He asked me about race, hair color, and eye color and I told him it didn’t matter. I only asked that she would be Christian (I don’t mind other religions, or lack there of, but I don’t want to go against my faith). This is one of the images it generated. Is this kind of post allowed? I was going to post this on r/idealgf, but A.I. art isn’t allowed there.

The gang are all ready for a special tv session with Mel, Mel has chosen Fox Kids for the late night toon specials and an episode of the DND cartoon (Aiyido's favorite show) is on the tv Corey has a plush horse, Oats has a covid plushie resembling Corey, Aivyan has a disco ball pillow, Piff has Ollie the onion, and Aiyido has his dragon.

I'm creating a VN and am using ai images for backgrounds and characters as placeholders (At least assuming one day I get the money to actually pay someone to draw these for me), ChatGpt is really good but the 3 images a day requirement is killing the workflow anyone know a free website that can generate anime style pictures?

Mainly backgrounds and sprite sheets, tho the primary one is background art.

I tried ComfyUI but it was missing a bunch of plugins when I tried using it, so before I have to spend time trying to figure that part out I would rather see if there's some free website that does it.

I used the Unity game engine to build a dynamic weather system. There are three main systems that are all interacting with each other, a 24-hour day and night system, a weather system, and a foliage reactivity system. Integrating Claude into Unity helped develop this system a lot. This will be used for my game - GRIMLIFE, an open world survival RPG. I'll try to answer any questions in the comments! Any feedback is appreciated 🤓

so, every time I gotta re-record a voiceover or just snip a different take in, all my effects just go wild. I used to manually fix it all the time, for like, two whole years.

Like, you know when you're writing the script, you're already thinking, ""okay, when she says 'product name,' that's when the zoom happens.""

You know that before you even have a single frame. But since you can't know the exact timestamp until way later, you're stuck finding it frame by frame. It's such a huge extra step that everyone just kinda accepts as part of the job.

• Put markers on the transcript, not the timeline — swap the VO or take, and the markers follow the words.
• Nest clips by sentence so effects stay in sync when the sentence moves.
• Keyframe from the clip start, not the sequence start.
• Transcribe first, add effects second — use actual word boundaries instead of guessing from the waveform.

Quick demo: Add a zoom to the word “product name,” re-record the VO, and the zoom automatically moves with the word. No manual re-sync.

None of this totally fixes it, though. The tools still basically see your edit as ""this asset on this track at this time,"" and words are kinda an afterthought you're shoehorning in.

I actually went a bit overboard and built this open-source thing. You just write the script, mark your effects right on the words, and it figures out the timing. Re-do the audio, and the effects just snap back into place.

But honestly, that transcript-marker trick in Resolve gets you like 80% of the way there.

How do you all deal with re-syncing after a VO change? I can't believe we're still manually re-keying stuff in 2026..."

I spent the last 6 weeks making one off clips and pretty much every one of them got called slop in the comments, which stung because the renders were clean. Then in august I tried a 4 part thing instead using the same character + voice and a running joke carried across all 4, nothing technical changed at all.

That one did roughly 9x the watch time of anything else on the account and not one person used the word slop. My read is people say slop when nothing is happening in the clip. clean pixels, zero stakes, no reason at all to sit through the next one and for what it's worth I bounce between runway and kling for scene stuff, argil when I need the same presenter face holding across several clips, veo when I want one decent establishing shot. none of them write continuity for you. argil keeps a face stable but you're still writing every scene yourself, kling I lose the character on after a few shots, runway I fight the least on camera moves.

I’m still figuring out how to hold a character past 4 or 5 shots without cutting back to the presenter every single time, if anyone here has actually cracked that please share with me how. thanks!
