Title: My latest avatar
Post by: Merlin on December 21, 2011, 07:39:37 pm

I am exploring different ways to create and use avatars in a chatbot.

In preparation, I created a new avatar, I may call her Sky.

Very cute Merlin, you seem to have a unique approach with eyes too, not sure why but I really like them.

Good job  O0.

  I think it's great,  it fits in with what I like an avatar to look like.

Thanks all, I like the eyes also (Sky blue  ;D). I was trying for a girl that was realistic looking but still had that Magna flavor.
I have a few other characters that I have created, I needed to create a new character that is fundamentally human. I am thinking about entering the Loebner competition in the future, but to do so the character must act like a person. So, Sky is born... 
(Since she got such a good reaction I have included a section of her screen test as a gif)

As many of you know, most of my postings have been related to chatbots. Skynet-AI is the one that most of you may be aware of.
I am researching how I might replace most to the imaging functions that I got with MS Agent or Haptek using HTML5 capabilities.

About the technology:
Sky's avatar is in PNG with a transparent background, so she could live with-in a number of other backgrounds.
I am trying to create an easy tool chain that will deliver good quality results with minimal effort. Much of my work is still experimental.
When I have finished looking at how to display an avatar on a web page I intend to put her up on the web so everyone can speak to her.

Agreed!!
My English teacher used to say that a story should be like a woman's skirt...
Long enough to cover the subject and short enough to keep it interesting!

Ahhh...truer words were never spoken!

Very nice avatar!!
