🥊 Doodles Acquires Animation Studio Golden Wolf
In a move that will baffle many an animator and be cheered on by many with WAGMI spirit, Web3 media and entertainment firm (and NFT project) Doodles, is acquiring Golden Wolf. If you consider Doodles basically a cartoon IP that needs an animation studio, this kind of makes sense. We've already seen studios like Buck make trailers for Bored Apes, so it'll be interesting if we'll see more studios working for Web3 projects.
🎨 Beeple Releases Art Book
We've heard that 69 million dollars isn't a lot of money these days (thanks, inflation) so that's why Beeple announced his Beeple: Everydays the First 5000 Images "art" book (we kid because we love) that you can pre-order at Barnes & Noble. Just don't leave it on your coffee table or you'll have a lot of explaining to do when guests come over.
🗿 Text-To-4D AI Uses AI to Make 3D Meshes From Text
Another day, another mind blowing AI use case. This week it's Text-To-4D which will generate an impressive 3D mesh from text inputs. You can even load the mesh it generates and orbit around the scene it generates. That's all well and good but wake me when AI can retopo.
🚫 Movie Trailer Generated Using Midjourney
Typically it takes an entire team to create a movie trailer, but with AI a single person can do this task. 'House of Dreams' is a movie trailer made by a single filmmaker and the results are actually pretty impressive. But can Midjourney understand the prompt "Make the logo bigger"?
