welcome to tomorrow daily the Nestea talk-show in the known universe yes talk shows have more than one person these are mini episodes new sets coming great stuff what's it the headlines Microsoft just released a video this week that could change the way hand-drawn animation is made the team works with the University of Hong Kong and the University of Tokyo to create what they're calling autocomplete hand-drawn animations the animation industry has been using semi automated technology for a while now with software like meander and Draco doing some heavy lifting during production for animators but this new technology is pretty remarkable in that a single stroke of an artist pen allows the software to decide if you're drawing the same figure in a new frame so then the software can populate that frame with the figure and the artist can use it as a guide but also make changes to the animations wireframes as an artist sketches without anchor points or keyframe markers or anything else that's really in-depth patterns can be filled in and colors can be applied across frames as well this kind of technology could be huge for indie animators or anyone looking to speed up their production schedule if it ever makes it to a commercial product still it's some really impressive stuff and worth your time checking out okay so going from animations on digital to actual real-life animated dolls Japan's a super dollfie dolls are getting some really amazing robotic makeovers from a youtuber named Rosen's eben he's been customizing these dolls for years now but this is the first I've seen them and they are so cool that I had to share Dolphy's are fully customizable dolls and Rosen's a bit took that customization to the next by swapping out their doll bodies with robotic skeletons as one does his most recent video uploaded a few weeks ago featured a katana sword wielding Dolphy and other designs include a fan dancing Dolphy a violin playing Dolphy and even a Hatsune Miku dollfie if you're into virtual Japanese pop stars honestly there's no larger life-changing application happening here but seriously wouldn't Amazon sell a lot more Alexa's if they were a little men and women Dolphy's I think so you're welcome Amazon it's a great idea alright our last story of the day is about a German does who created a way for people to upcycle their plastic bags into something a little more special this is called street plastic created by German designer Stephanie Riddler the process is simple drop in your old plastic bag in the machine hand turn the crank on the side of the device and voila a more interesting and fun plastic bag pops out of course there are some inherit scaling solutions that play here you can't really make a new bag without two bags to start with and heating some cheaper plastic bags could in fact release harmful vapor into the environment which is why Street plastic isn't meant for mass adoption it's just an artistic concept device that suggests a big idea maybe if we make worthless objects a little more valuable in the eyes of the beholder people think twice about discarding them so easily in the landfills and trash bins and getting people to think about their impact on the environment even a little more than usual is always a good thing that's it for our headlines let's check out what's new this week this week the big release is
