Many Machine Learning libraries support a Python interface. Many DCC applications support Python. But you will often find that these DCC applications and software libraries don’t have binary compatibility. Here is how to solve this problem in Maya for Windows.
What in the world is a Neural Network? And what can it do for me?
In short Neural Networks can learn patterns from data. That lets you program tasks that are easy for a person/expert to do but are hard for such people to explain how they’ve done it. Like, face recognition, for example. What good are they for 3D animation?
