Hi all,
Dreaming from being able to enjoy scripts, even basic, with whichever VR video from my collection, I’ve been working on (yet another) funscript generation helper using Python and Computer Vision techniques for the past few weeks on my free time, and I am looking for constructive feedback (to tweak, adjust, reconsider from scratch etc. the algorithm) and motivation to keep going.
I started with no coding knowledge at all, I have been testing countless Computer Vision approaches, faced disappointment and frustration, close to going batshit crazy at some point, and even lost countless hours on things as simple as the plain simple GUI…
And I won’t mention the Kalman filtering (ouch, too late), nor the occlusion handling that keeps me awake at night.
So please, manage your expectations
Anyway, at this stage (I do not even know if we can call this alpha stage):
- the tool is mostly set for VR videos,
- it uses two different approaches depending on the type of scene (handjob/blowjob vs the rest),
- it could be leveraged to help scripters produce some sections of scripts before refining and fine-tuning
- it needs some supervision in the making
- the process is run frame by frame
- it generates a funscript file and a project file that you can restart from if you close the app
Handjob / Blowjob scenes:
- input consists in drawing the box where the penis is located
- the system detects hands and mouth, then tracks their position if touching the penis box
- applies a dynamic weighting mechanism for hands and mouth to determine the target funscript position
Other positions:
- input consists in drawing boxes on the male and female bodies
- these body parts are tracked and their relative distance is registered, then normalized
The process cuts sections of data every 15 seconds, auto filters, normalizes and export/saves funscript file and project.
There are still many things to implement before making it fully enjoyable, and needs to be optimized performance wise.
All this to actually come up with the following request : does any one of you have a VR video he would like to see a part scripted so as to test and provide feedback ? Please do not expect a fully scripted vid, but rather just short section(s) of it at this stage.
Just really looking for feedback, it still needs a LOT of work but it is already 2k+ lines of code and I kinda feel alone facing a giant mountain to hike…
I would definitely like designing and coding help, but I am still very shy to share my terrible and under documented code at this stage.
