The first fully automated, end-to-end artificial intelligence (AI) system for Hollywood visual effects is called Vanity AI. A production-ready system called Vanity AI enables Hollywood and VFX teams to do a lot of high-end 2D ageing, de-aging, cosmetic, wig, and prosthetic repairs. The system has no capacity restrictions and is 300 times quicker and substantially more cost-effective than conventional VFX pipelines. With this innovative VFX method, producing a shot fit for a feature film is now as easy as turning dials on a single frame. Vanity AI can finish a shot in around three minutes, with output and consistency on par with highly skilled VFX artists, in place of requiring anywhere from one to five days for a VFX artist to create a shot.
