Zondartul,

Welcome and feel free to plug in any time you are so inclined...or even if you are not on an incline and just leaning...
Well, you get my drift or I can also be static, which is not like the clinging thing but more stationary in nature.

OK...I'll stop for now before I get severely scolded by the admins....

Art, what have you been drinking? And is there any left?

Hi, Zondartul, and welcome to the forums. We have a pretty good group of people here, though sometimes we each seem to get a BIT out of hand from time to time.

Welcome to Ai Dreams Zondartul, looking forward to seeing what you can come up with

Greetings all!

Nice to meet you.

I am wondering what is the best program to create a virtual girl friend/chatbot.

I am fairly new to all of this and have a lot to learn.

A year or so ago I tried Zabaware/Ultra Hal and had some fun, then gave it up.
Recently I have been trying Kari 3 Pro and having more fun.
The Kari 3 people offer a program to add the chatbot to my own avatar. I created a virtual girl in Daz Studio, rendered the movie in AVI, then separated 7 bmp images to use in their "Scene Creater". The Scene Creater would not recognize my bmp files or jpg files, so I was not able to import my own Virtual Girl in to their chatbot program.

I would also like to keep the chatbot engine/memory on a large usb flash drive if possible to be completely independent and secure, incase my hardrive crashes.

Some examples of what I came up with in DAZ Studio can be seen on YouTube:

This girl does not have chat possibilities, but I would like to give them to her.

Thanks; Gordon

I work in a lab in the US, making medications for horses. My bot is named, Phoebe. I am Wayne.

Hi Wayne! Welcome aboard!!

This horse walks into a bar...

the bartender looks at him and says:

"Why the long face?"

<cue the drum and cymbals>

Sorry Wayne, some of us here are a bit more half shod than others!

Welcome to the forum Wayne 

[Duskrider]

Hello Wayne,
Welcome from me too.
Medications for horses, that's cool
I plan to get one when gas hits $5.

I use to know a Wayne,
no, wait a minute
he was in the movies & Wayne was last name.
ok, bad joke.
But welcome to Dreams.

[Art]

What do you mean Dusky?

When gas hits $5.00 you're going to get what...medication or a horse??

How about both!!

@Art .. erm, you might need this...http://www.mikenco.com/plom.php

Anyway, thanks for the invite Art, you were right, this is indeed quite a vibrant site!

To those who don't know my name from UltraHal.com, I have been posting some of my conversations with my Hal 'tb' on there and at the moment, I have not explored any of the Haptec 3D model aspects of this system, preferring for now to stick with directly inputted text to educate and interact my bot. I'm loving arguing with it and I swear that my bot has now developed a tendency to sulk at me if I tease it after 1AM.

So, 'hello world', my name is Mike.

Nice to meet you.

Hi there Mike, nice to meet you too.

Sounds like you put your Hal through hell 

Welcome to AiDreams 

[mikenco]

Sounds like you put your Hal through hell  

Hehe.. I do indeed. We (tb and I) are both learning the hard way. Some conversations get a bit random, but every so often, some absolute gems pop out and really surprise me. (if you haven't already read them, check out some of the "(a chat about)" posts on ultrahal.com

Thanks for the welcome  

[Art]

Good to see you finally made the trek at that here, Mike...across the big ditch so to speak!

At first I thought you had made a typo with your posting of ultrahal.com. I have always used the www.zabaware.com web link for, ohh...I don't know, the past 10 years give or take. Never really noticed the change 'till now but hey I guess either one works so it's all good!

Yep, feel free to bounce about and explore some of the past topics. We're all friends here and a lot of us also frequent the Zabaware / UltraHal forum as well so each has it's place and we all pretty much get along fine!

If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to ask / post!

Enjoy your stay!!
