When i render video i only get the AI changes on the first frame but the rendered video files are just my original model and animations.

Hi, _Daymos_Visuals

If you use the Video tab in AI Render, pressing the Preview button will only generate the first frame. To render the full video, use the Render button in the Render Preview dialog.
I hope it works for you.

Of all the tests I’ve done, this one has undoubtedly been the one I liked the most in terms of image. I’ve done many tests. This one was created in iclone 8, with IARender.

still learning how to use this new feature

Fantasic result!

Hey!

It’s really nice to have a built-in tool in CC4 to quickly explore styles and ideas.
I would use it for gathering references instead of a final product; just to quickly explore the possibilities of a design.
But after what I’ve seen from other artist, it can be a final product as well. It’s just a matter of an ethical use of the tool.

I’ve tested a simple character with extreme proportions as the main input; and decided to go for a swimmer.

I’ve tested several styles, and the following were my favorite results.
For “A”, “B” and “C” I used “3D Concept Art Image Style”. And for “C” I also used a reference image from the series “Arcane”, blended as “style and composition”.

For the goggles I used 3D sunglasses as the input, and it worked mostly fine.
For the swimming cap I only had one solid result, considering that I just had hair and no other geometry as a placeholder.

I hope I am not spamming this thread. Oil Painting preset,
“roll for initiative”

You may want to consolidate entries into the original post. That’s what I would do if I have another one.
BTW, last one came out with jagged edges. it’s not really a style feature but rather a bug.
Check a couple of posts here about the issue:

[Official] Welcome to AI Render Open Beta – Start Here!

OK, so as far as I figured the whole AI render is wrapped around face detection. If it did not detect a face, it does not render. I mean it does, but it comes out jagged, blurred, distorted, smudged or all of the above. iClone render of a basic scene: [1] Same rendered with AI. Settings do not matter at all, it would come up pretty much as this: [2] Now I added a tiny face of Camila at the corner and everything falls in place: [3] I hope it fixed at some point…
