>>2844 Anima v1 just came out about a week ago. That's most likely the next breakthrough as it can use more natural language and has a more modern database. From what I've seen it does backgrounds better, can implement proper text or a sentence, better details on things like clothing, and is generally better in anatomy. Less broken hands (which isn't even a problem 90% of the time now). Right now people are making finetunes and trying to learn how it actually works. I'm waiting for a finetune that does kemono art well.

I really like the way this one came out. I started by using the online tools at Perchance.org to generate a retro-style fox woman resembling the kinds of images from the covers of cheap pulp detective novels from the 1940s and 1950s. Then I used a local instance of Framepack to render a short animation based on it.

yay foxxo! Yes. I like foxes. And I think that they should be allowed to enjoy their sandwiches.

Capybara girls for Capybara-chan.

If AI visuals and artefacts have a way of triggering the uncanny valley effect in people, could the widespread use of AI video upscaling weaken it? Artefacts that would otherwise be telltale signs of faked or manipulated footage would be consciously or subconsciously ignored, as the mark of inauthenticity would taint everything. Let me give an example. When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, someone I know noticed that the assassination footage had his ring switch from his ring finger to his pinky. The immediate gut response to this was that the video was an impressive deepfake, but then we remembered that phone cameras with automatic AI upscaling were becoming common. What could have been a dead ringer for a truly fake video was instead likely just an unnecessary post-processing filter. Something that we, as goyim, were supposed to overlook. The uncanny valley effect likely helps us detect sickness, deceipt, and dangerous situations. Call me paranoid, but I don't think training people to subconsciously ignore weird physical, spatial, and bodily distortions in camera footage is a good idea.

Hi guys, today's the day. The 'foo is already locked and the backend has been moved too the new domain (https://anthro.boo) with some annoying issues like wildly inconsistent ping for live messages and rate limits--which is why I came here. Hope the new admin gets it figured out soon. >>2828 I had never known this history, thanks for sharing even if you don't have all the details

>>2904 >anthro.🅱️oo

>>2892 I can't say I've see many, or even any, kemono insect OCs. Go for it, provided you don't act like a fag and expect people to follow you to walled NSA gardens like Discord. >>2898 >cant figure out how to change name That's a feature, not a bug.

>>2906 He probably meant "any," but "ant" is funnier. Especially when you then say >That's a feature, not a bug.

>>2827 they're not the same. the boo/foo userbase is more mature, averi.foo's on the other hand are mostly under 18 teenagers, the way they post shows it.

>>2865 >It's generally a way for people to avoid consequences, so it's at odds with good writing. Could you give some examples? When I've seen it handled well, one of the recurring points was that that these other timelines, these other worlds, are real. They're as real as it gets. They're as real as the protagonist. The people in them are alive, they're real, and they matter as much as anyone else does. Small digression: this point also came up in Poul Anderson's "Time Patrol" stories, in which men are recruited by a secret society of time travelers who take it upon themselves to preserve the general course of history, as they must in order for human civilization to create time travel eventually. They can make small changes, but not large ones. In one of the stories, "Delenda Est," the protagonist, a Time Patrol member born in the early or mid 20th Century in the US, abruptly finds himself in a very changed world as a result of a rival time-traveling group's meddling. He learns the language and learns about the world in which he finds himself. He becomes romantically involved with a woman. The changed world, the new timeline, is a world full of real people, whose lives matter. It has wonders and horrors and triumphs and a storied history. And, our protagonist, who may be the only one with a working time machine, the only one with memories of our world, is duty-bound to travel back in time to the Punic Wars, where things diverged, and "fix" it so that our world and the Time Patrol can come into existence. He wrestles with the questions. It can be found here: https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/luminist/EB/A/Anderson,%20Poul%20-%20Guardians%20of%20Time.pdf I think a lazy writer can use multiverses lazily (*cough* Rick and Morty *cough*) but there's nothing about the concept that necessitates it as an inescapable logical conclusion.

>>2868 I missed the PDF link, but it's okay because I found the book in real life.

>>2873 It's always nice to find something in a used book store, isn't it? Look around and you will find a LOT of Piper's work at Project Gutenberg. And this is a fanpage: https://zarthani.net/ Paying the animation tax.

>>2868 >Could you give some examples? All the modern multiverse fiction. Bioshock Infinite, Sonic Prime, modern MCU and MCU-adjacent slush that leaps to another world whenever the current one is getting stale. It's especially obvious when a character dies and the gang has to go do a different dimension and get a replacement version of that character. Your example Time Patrol story, purely from your description, is not what I'd call a Many Worlds story: it's a what-if story with a particular type of alternate or speculative history, similar to the DC Comics Elseworlds stories ("what if Batman were a pirate? what if the Joker were Jack the Ripper?"). A Many World story truly needs more than just one or two places in order to be judged by that moniker, because otherwise it's just a story about two places that have effects on each other. That type of story is perfectly fine - frankly, it's the basis of a lot of good fiction - but it's fundamentally different. Strict adherence to the Many Worlds theory is also required for me, where every single possible point of deflection or choice manifests as a different world. Obviously such a setting is impossible to become invested in because there are literally infinite copies of every possible character with every possible permutation. I admit I'm a purist about definitions like this, and I prefer straightforward stories that are written and told well; craft matters to much much more than theory, and by that same token if that Time Patrol story is told well then I'm sure I'd enjoy it.

>>2908 Understandable. I will admit that I haven't been to a movie in a theater in years and years. The cape movies are something about which I see memes, not something I watch. I will also say that I used to read a lot of science fiction, to include splatbooks for pen-and-paper RPGs when especially bored. The tone of sci-fi published since the end of the Protracted Struggle does not appeal to me very much, and the authors whose work I enjoyed are dead. The RPG stuff often had really clever ideas and worldbuilding but not really so much in the way of coherent story. When I was bored enough, and I'd been able to find this stuff at a used book store, or in some ancient undisturbed FTP archive somewhere in the pre-SEO, pre-AI Internet. The GURPS Infinite Worlds books had clever ideas along with some japes that didn't quite hit for me ("we call this timeline the United States of Lizardia, and it's exactly like present-day Earth in every single way, down to the names of celebrities and the current popular music, except that everyone is an anthropomorphic dinosaur," are you people serious? who approved this?). There's also a GURPS Horror worldbook called "The Madness Dossier," which has to do with a war between humanity, waged largely by secret government agencies, and time-traveling entities whose exact nature is not understood (alien conquerors? demons? evil ancient gods? pick one or make up something weirder) who are fighting and flipping the world back and forth between two timelines: the world we know, and a world where humans are the slaves of these hostile entities, which has a lot of good writing and evocative ideas and could have been the core conflict of a very good skiffy novel instead of an RPG. One of the core concepts is that stuff can sometimes survive intact from the "other" timeline when things flip back and forth, resulting in possibly somewhat cliched plot bunnies like "someone found the shiny alien superscience weapon that was never created and shouldn't exist and sold it to a pawn shop, so now you have to track it down and retrieve it before whoever bought it blows up the city, or, worse, attracts the attention of the evil insane alien gods who want to enslave us."

>>2883 >You draw more gooder than me. Drawing is a skill that takes a lot of time to get, I've been drawing in a somewhat consistently rate for at least 10 years, 7~8 of them focusing on anthros, and I still have lots to learn. One of the things that helped me improve is to work on paper, as I said somewhere in this thread, having contact with physical media helps a lot into developing an artstyle and digital for me is just an afterthought for finishing a piece. But the most important thing in drawing is to have fun creating things and drawing what you want! That's why I do it as a hobby. btw the femcel necoarc went out great --- >>2885 let's see... fox in japanese is kitsune (キツネ) --> first and last syllable forms "kine" (/kee-neh/) --> similar to "kino" (кино) --- >>2897 *la creatura*? It's difficult to say, a monstergirl for sure, and also an anthro due to the etymology of the word itself. she has fur so I count as "furry" in my book :) , but you can also put her in kemono if the artstyle appeals to it.

>>2899 You're too kind. I've been doodling for years. I don't get any better. I think part of it is that I have these images in my head that I want to make recognizable enough for visual shitposts. I guess I'm lazy that way. I've got an idea I'm turning over in my head right now that I was thinking about laying out on another board that's now being shut down. I don't know if my skills are up to even that. It has to do with a meme/running gag sort of thing involving someone else's characters and if I ever draw it and post it, I hope he's not too annoyed with me.

>>2897 >Missy Man, I didn't think I'd ever see her or Napalm Express mentioned here, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. She's anthro, just like how that SP girl with the wolf (or deer?) skull, Mal0, is anthro even if she technically isn't much of a real animal. Impossible species are definitely anthro. >Does she belong anywhere? In my bed. Evil-looking girls who are actually very sweet are wonderful. >>2900 >I've got an idea >I don't know if >If I ever >I hope he's not too annoyed Man, just do it. Hesitation kills.

>>2899 kine is a good idea i will go with that. i feel like i want to name his wife nari

>>2913 and i forgot to upload the picture like a dumbass

>TysonTan drew his goat girl again I question whether she'd be all that warm with the exposed legs and boob window, but mountain goats are hardy animals so she probably knows what she's doing.

>Oraingen suddenly starts uploading art to Pixiv again Can't say I'm a big fan of the delay, but I'll take it. It's crazy just how much damage Twiter cracking down on nitter instances and the death of their RSS feeds did to the kemono thread and this place in turn. So many of the imagedumps turned out to rely on that one technology, and dealing with current year Twitter is so bad that most anons just don't bother following artists with it.

>didn't hit the filesize limit >had to split it into two posts anyways kek

Kemono pudge is still the best.

>>2732 Thanks for talking about the trivium, I never heard of this concept but got really intested in learning more. I'm reading the first book at the moment, it really is an enlightening. >>2741 >>2742 true, other skins would be cool addition

>>2778 It's not the end-all solution to intelligence or whatever, but it does seem to be a pretty neat way of improving knowledge transfer.

Geg they sure are getting afraid

>>2741 That's awesome.

If any of you guys like puzzle games, https://nandgame.com/ is a neat little educational game. You start off building a nand gate out of relay switches, and from them you build other logic gates and progressively more complicated components to satisfy in-game specs until you eventually work your way up to a simple computer processor.

>>2793 I'm sure you'd do a fine job, BO.

>>2794 Thanks anon. Board's up at https://trashchan.xyz/mecha

Wow good thing I can post again. You only filtered me for months because i didnt do some super sekrut club backbending to be verified or whatever that dumb shit was. Good decision to undo that crap.

Rest in peace, Prolikewoah. I wish Loleron all the best in whatever he does afterwards.

I need to see a kemono styled Pepe now.

>>2800 Kepe?

>>2800 >check'd A kemono styled Pepe would put the "o no" in "kemono."

>>2814 Isn't Pepe already anthro?

I don't think there's much for capybara kemono art.

>>2812 She is cute, that is why she is called Capybara-chan.
