WHOOPS! I guess someone let the cat out of the bag early lol

Amazonium3d just posted an update where he says Nyl is doing another animation.challenge this month. Dates are not confirmed yet. Amazon is participating!

"A good way to test how the new workflow will treat me should be the animation challenge that Nyl is hosting once again this month. For those who don't know, it's basically a 3 day animation challenge where you need to do one animation per day. We still didn't decide the exact date of the challenge, but it's happening this month which I look forward to!"

Yeah I hope he didn't get confused about what month it is lol. I hope it will be just the two of them though. Seems appropriate that they would do a standalone challenge as Amazon has been Nyl's protege the longest ... At least those animators who are still active.

I could see it being done though. If Nyl already had it in mind, he could already have gotten all the preliminary work out of the way. Or the three days could all be Bordello related previews. Which I wouldn't mind. Seems like my most anticipated animations always take forever lol. Anyways...

is it the same program as this
Yes but watch what you download becasue of viruses! :) plus the program gets updated like 2-3 times a week so its usless to download it if the cracked version cant be updated, since they improve the AI Models of interpolation and enchancement all the time. The version in that link is already old that what i mean.

I use Topaz Video AI but it cost alot, but this is the best AI upscaling program out there atm at least for private use.
What is the model and settings you using?
Proteus? Parameters auto?
Frame interpolation is apollo fast? What sensitivity do you set up?

I tried to find some manuals but didn't find anything interesting. I mostly configure the settings intuitively

I think I'm gonna drop the 'mini' part and just call these daily animation challenges. Less of a mouth-full.

Sorry for the late notice, but a lot of entries have been down to the wire behind the scenes. A lot of artists expressed interest in doing the animation challenge, and many of those who already did it wanted to do it again (at some point). Plus some people couldn't make it last time. So I figured if it's only three days, it couldn't hurt to do it again this month. Keep in mind I don't know if this is going to be a monthly thing. It just sort of lined up like this.

To quote my previous month's post:

For those who don't know, the daily animation challenge is something I started doing to challenge myself to create an animation every day for 5 days straight. The making of each animation should be constrained to 24 hours, with the only other requirements being that something has to be publicly released at the end of each day. It's sort of like what Beeple did.
Well this time I'm treating it as a separate, smaller event where we're only going for 3 days and other artists are involved. It's still going to be pretty independent, but I just wanted to make this sort of an event so that we could all try it together. The requirements are the same for everyone and there's no real competition or anything.
This time around we'll be using an optional modifier to make things a little more interesting. For this 3-day challenge artists will have the optional goal to connect each of their three daily animations with some sort of theme or story. This can be pretty loose (such as just using the same characters) or more involved (such as telling a story). They can get as creative as they want with it, like implementing audience interaction or collaborating with other creators.

Here are the other artists participating:

RadRoachHD DesireSfm Amazonium3D BoB_D3D Futuretist GIFDOOZER Snellumi

Like before, everyone will be adhering to their own separate time zones so if you follow all of these people then expect a smattering of animations throughout the days.
