@gentoobro @Hoss this is indeed the situation... for now.
AI powered animation went from helmet wearing retard puppets bumping into walls, to a showcase of martial artists, in just several years.
For this application, AI is being underestimated in my opnion.
I think it will be easier at some point to draw a basic scene, I mean really basic shapes as instructions to an AI, not just lower resolution like we already do now, and have the AI do most if not all the rendering work.
