Latest AI Tools for Creating Images, Videos, and More

The world of AI is moving incredibly fast. Every week brings new tools and updates that change what is possible. This post covers some exciting recent developments in AI for creating and manipulating visuals, from detailed 3D models to animating characters and generating unique images.

Create Detailed 3D Models from One Picture

Imagine taking just one image and getting a highly detailed 3D version of it. A new AI called High 3D Gen does just that. It takes an image and makes a 3D shape that is much more detailed than other current tools.

This AI works by looking at the surface direction from the image and using that to build the 3D shape. It's good at capturing small details and even estimating parts of the object not seen in the original photo. You can try a free online demo, and the code may be released soon for local use.

Track Detailed Human Movement in 3D

Another interesting AI is HSMR (Human Skeleton Mesh Recovery). This tool looks at an image or video of a person and creates a 3D model that includes their full body shape and skeleton. This helps it understand and track movement and poses very accurately.

Unlike tools that just looked at the body outline, HSMR maps the skeleton too, allowing for viewing the movement from different camera angles. There's a free online demo and the code is available.

Make Your Own Endless Anime Game

Anime Gamer is an AI that lets you create an interactive anime game using just text prompts. You can tell characters what to do, like "boy quietly sit in a car," and the AI generates the scene. Characters even have stats like stamina that change based on their actions.

While the videos are short and not super high quality yet, the idea is powerful: a game where levels and story are made instantly based on your commands. The models and code for this are available if you want to explore its possibilities.

Creating custom visuals and animations with AI is getting easier. If you're interested in pushing the boundaries of what's possible, check out the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite at https://www.titanxt.io/midjourneyautomator. It provides tools to automate and refine your Midjourney image generation workflow.

Combine Images to Create Videos

Skywork AI released Skyreels A2, an AI that makes videos by putting together different reference images. You can give it pictures of a person, an object, and a background, and it creates a video scene combining them all. This means you could potentially make videos without filming or hiring actors, just using images.

The tool can handle combining multiple characters and objects. The models are available and released under a license that allows for broad use, including making things for business. The code is also on GitHub.

Animate People and Characters Easily

ByteDance introduced Dream Actor M1, an AI that can take one photo of a person and transfer the full body movements, hand gestures, and facial expressions from a reference video onto that person. This opens up ways to easily animate any character from a photo.

It works with real people, animated characters, animals, and more. It can even work with different camera angles and allows transferring only head and face movements if needed. This tool shows exciting potential for creating films and videos, although currently, only a technical paper is released.

Whether you're working on video concepts or generating static images, having efficient tools is key. Optimize your creative process with the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite. It's made to enhance your Midjourney experience.

Free AI for Unique Image Styles

OpenAI showed off an image tool that could make Ghibli-style art. Now there's a free, open-source option called easy control using a specific model. This tool is good at making images based on multiple conditions, like matching edges and colors at the same time.

A highlight is its free demo online that uses this method to turn your photos into the Ghibli style. While it might have small issues, it is a free way to get similar results. The models, code, and the free online demo space are available.

Another New Open Source Image Tool

Luminina MGBT2 is a new open-source image generator. It works differently than many others, using a method similar to OpenAI's GPT-4o image tool. It can create images from scratch with text prompts, and also edit existing photos.

You can give it a photo and ask it to add things, or even input reference images like depth maps or edge maps for more control. The code is available, though the main model needs a lot of computing power right now. Simpler versions might come later.

Turning Text and Audio into Video (A Look at Mocha)

Meta showed off Mocha, an AI that creates videos from a text description and speech audio. This tool can make realistic-looking people speak the audio you provide and perform actions based on your text prompt.

While the results look quite natural, the tool can only create short videos (currently 5 seconds). Also, it's only text-to-video and cannot make consistent characters from an image. Meta has not yet said if they will release this tool for others to use.

As AI image generation advances, staying organized and productive is important. The TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite offers features designed to help you manage your creations and streamline your workflow.

Updates on OpenAI's Next Models

There is news about upcoming models from OpenAI. They now plan to release a powerful model called 03 and a smaller one called 04 Mini in the coming weeks, before the next major version, GPT-5. This suggests that AI capabilities are improving at a rapid pace.

The 03 model is expected to be very strong in areas like coding and science. This change in plan means we may see advanced AI models become available sooner than expected.

Precision Video Segmentation

Identifying and separating moving objects in a video is tricky, especially with shaky cameras, motion blur, or things blocking the view. A new AI called "Segment Any Motion in Videos" is reported to be very accurate at this task.

It uses methods to track pixel movement, understand what objects are in the video, and then precisely outline the moving items. This skill is useful for video editing and analysis. The code for this tool is available.

Quick Look at Latest Runway and Midjourney Updates

Major AI names Runway and Midjourney released new versions (Gen 4 and V7). While there are some small improvements, the videos from Runway Gen 4 can still have issues with complex or fast movements.

Midjourney V7 also shows some quality improvements but still struggles with basic things like drawing hands or text correctly. Compared to some free and open-source alternatives available now, these updates were not seen as major leaps forward by some observers.

New Video Manipulation Plugin Released

A tool from Alibaba called Vase, which can do complex video edits like adding characters or objects, transferring motion between videos, and expanding video size, has recently released its models. This tool works as a plugin with existing video generators.

This release makes powerful video editing functions more accessible for those running AI models locally. Some versions are available now, with higher-quality versions planned for the future.

Staying Ahead in AI Creation

The range of AI tools for visual creation is growing constantly. From generating 3D models and interactive games to animating characters and editing videos, new possibilities appear every week. Keeping up can be a challenge, but these tools offer powerful new ways to create.

For Midjourney users looking to manage this flow of creativity and enhance their production, the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite offers practical solutions.
