Here is the link to the Machine Learning Timewarp tool in Flame that @talosh (Andriy Toloshny) put together. It’s open source, linux only (tested on CentOS 7.4 and 7.6) and provided as-is, so use at your own risk.
Unzip the file (1.4GB) and put it in your /opt/autodesk/shared/python directory. When you first launch flame after installing it you will get a prompt that it needs to do some setup tasks. You’ll get a prompt when it is finished. Then right-click, select FlameTimewarpML and you’re good to go!
Please report back the results you get. It will be great to see how this works!
Hello Andy,
the Timewarp AI is a real Gamechanger. There have been many days in my past that I had to paint artifacts from Crappy Timewarps. Sadly its just for Linux right now…are there any plans to implement the tool for mac?
Much Thanks and best Greetings.
Thanks for reaching out! From what Andriy has explained, this particular model requires CUDA libraries? Which ties it to nvidia. All he did was take the open source library and wrap it in a python script to handle the I/O. If something is released in the public domain that works with Metal on Mac it may be possible, but I don’t know at this time.
Ran it tonight on a 4K open gate clip at 16% of speed. Lots of hair and a big lens flare over a woman holding a surfboard. Also ran the same clip through motion estimation in flame. While it wasn’t perfect, the ML version beat the ME version hands down. It wasn’t even close. The ML version had only one or two instances of notable tearing while the ME version tore from start to finish.
if you’re on mac, it is coming nowish, I’ve seen this error on mac recently. It could probably mean that you have a newer Nvidia driver as well, neet to investigate more, could you run nvidia-smi on your machine?
