Coder/s: Do Animation of Saturn Theory!

[Lloyd]

Looks like new open source AI is available to do easy animations. I haven't looked into pricing.

But here's a video link I just saw and it's fairly impressive.

How This A.I. Draws Anything You Describe [DALL-E 2]

I'd be willing to help with donations, if it's not real expensive.

I'd like to participate in composing descriptions of scenes for the AI to draw.

May I have a show of hands of those who can code?

This says Imagen is way better

But I still don't know about availability.

Lloyd,

You might try Blender:

Blender (software)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender_(software)

It is free and powerful. It is used in movies and animation. There are plenty of tutorials and movies on YouTube.

- Blender movies

- Blender planets

For solar system visualizations, also for simulated objects therein, I recommend https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/cosmographia.html. The only disadvantage: You need to be able to describe its orbit as Keplerian if you don't have tabulated position data or a SPICE kernel describing it as the software doesn't do gravity simulation.

Thanks, guys.
