I'm working on a tool that attempts to tweak the parameters of my creature parametrization to match the look of a reference 3D model. It does this solely by looking at the silhouettes and executing the parameter changes which make the silhouettes match more closely. 🧵

@runevision gradient descent? this means you're using machine learning (the actually useful parts), which means you can slap "AI" onto this thing and get all the investors lined up!

Seriously though, very nice.

@aras Haha, right. :) Seriously though, there's no neural network or training data set (only one example model to look at), it's just gradient descent in the same sense as a raindrop sliding down a mountain in the direction of the steepest slope. But yeah, for some reason categorized as machine learning I guess. But then every physics system is machine learning too.
