Creator of JustSketchMe here! I was very surprised to see this on HackerNews this morning. Very cool to see this doing the rounds 6 years into running this :)

Very nice. Well done :) I could have used this a lot when I was an Art Director in advertising sketching storyboards all day long. I guess these days Art Directors are just asking AI to do it?

Incredibly fun to play around with it, and really incredible mobile web support..! Two finger dragging worked without interfering with the browser’s usual handling of it.

Super cool, congrats! I was just reminiscing about the old school https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poser_(software) software recently, wondering if there were other contenders in the space.

Cheers

Thanks, it also runs well as a PWA. It's Threejs under the hood, plus some rendering optimisation to ensure it performs well in mobile browsers.

There should be a HN name for posts like this - things that are clearly influenced by what was popular yesterday. The creator of this is the same person that wrote the blog post on being present without phones that was top ranked yesterday. It's clear that someone looked at that post, read about the creator, then posted their other project here.

Not saying it's bad or anything, just funny to see the link-browsing tendency of HN often manifest in such a direct way. It happens more than you would think as well!

Happens all the time :)

I think it's exaggerated by the automatic upvoting when submitting something that was recently submitted too. So as people discover the same thing, they submit it to HN and each submission upvotes the first submission.

We're all discovering the same things seemingly :)

Be nice to have AI integration for natural language: (i.e. 'show the character running and looking away from camera')

As someone who is getting into character art again after a very long time, this tool looks amazing. I've bookmarked it, and after I use it for a few references, I'll likely end up getting pro.

Cool. Might be able to get a quick approximate pose for manual finetuning by integrating Mediapipe: https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/solutions/vision/pose_l...

There is a guy on YT/Japanese Cafe that has real robotic Chobits they use wheels to move around but they have face tracking/digital eyes that look at you and moving arms

Mashiro (and others) are super cute and the whole project is very interesting, seeing how they improve them incrementally over time. :)

Would be cool, if you could upload the scene into image gen. model and it would create picture for you but with hard defined objects from the scene.

You know, for us people who can't draw a ... nothing :)

(I still support creative people though)

It's entirely possible to export an image of the scene and upload that to your genAI of choice.

Is there an OpenPose format json export option, for use with ControlNet tools? Or is the only option as an image to image reference?
