Some of the most impressive tech that Adobe showcases at its annual Max conference each year is the experimental features it\u2019s developing, and the latest of those tools are being announced today: they can transform images into explorable 3D scenes, design AI characters by talking to them, and turn photo editing into a copy\/paste process.<\/p>\n
The first (and weirdest, in my opinion) is Project Screen Test, which is designed to make AI-generated characters easier to develop and use for video content. Instead of just describing how the character should sound and behave in text prompts, the tool lets you talk to the character and direct them in an audition-like environment. You start by describing some base personality traits, such as \u201canxious, shy, awkward,\u201d and giving the character a voice, either by selecting a preset, describing how it sounds in a prompt, or uploading sample audio for it to reference.<\/p>\n
You can then expand its persona in further detail by conversing with the character as if you\u2019re talking on FaceTime, outlining its backstory, temperament, goals, flaws, fears, movement quirks and more. Once you\u2019re happy, the tool lets you generate animated screen tests with the character by describing an environment or scenario you want to put them in.<\/p>\n
