Rigging a 248-million-year-old extinct creature: a generalized 3D gen + skeleton pipeline in 6 steps
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-07
shinboson demos motion-capturing creatures extinct for 248 million years — turning a scientific description into a rigged, animated 3D model in just 6 steps. Boosters note this is effectively a generalized 3D model generation + skeleton rigging system for arbitrary creatures, with no dependency on Astra and swappable components like ImageGen, Kling, SAM 3, or Hunyuan 3D — showing the whole ecosystem is already ready.
