Animate Doodles with Your Body Movements using AI
It’s simple to get started with Scroobly. You can use it right away on the website, there is no to sign up or anything like that. This gives you a few pre-drawn doodles that you can try.
When you pick a Doodle, it tracks your movement using the webcam and places the Doodle over your body. You can keep the background on that will show your camera input with Doodle on top. And if you turn off the background then it will show just the Doodle mimicking your body movements. The camera stays on to track your body movements in real-time. This way, you can record your Doodle by controlling its movements with your body.
Make Your Own Doodle
You can also make your own Doodle with Scroobly. This gives you a handful of shapes that you can start with. And if you like to draw everything from the ground up, you can do that too.
After drawing the Doodle, the next step is to make motion options on Doodle. Depending on your Doodle shape and how you like to control it, you can configure the motion points. Apart from that, you can also import/export Doodle in JSON format.
When your custom Doodle is ready, it uses the camera to track you and show the Doodle on the screen. This time it doesn’t show any templates. Instead, you get the option to record, edit, and start over.
Closing Words
This is a quite fascinating AI Experiment that uses the latest AI models to perform something that sounds simple but hard to implement. This all works fine with some lousy moments but it’s doodles we are dealing with which are themselves absent-mindedly drawings.
