In this article, you’ll learn how to train a convolutional neural network to generate normal maps from color images. Convolutional neural networks are great at dealing with images, as well as other types of structured data. If you want to understand how they work, please read this other article first. …
In this article, you’ll learn how to train an autoencoding Neural Network to compress and denoise motion capture data and display it inside Maya Autoencoders are at the heart of some raytracer denoising and image upscaling (aka. super-resolution) technologies. Despite the pompous name, an autoencoder is just a Neural Network …
DeepMimic relies on reinforcement learning to teach skills to ragdolls. It’s time for you to experiment with a simplified version of it in Maya. In previous posts, we have discussed the approximation of character animation with Neural Networks. This approximation was kinematic, that is, it was not concerned with the …
In this article, you will learn how to train a Neural Network. Then you will learn how to use that network inside Maya to classify elements of your scene.
