I drew the model directly in Paint 3D, the free program that comes with Windows 10, using a Wacom tablet.

I downloaded the above Portrait.glb file and converted it into an PLY file in Blender, before uploading it to Voronator (accepts 20 MB max).

I used the "Video Editor" that comes with Windows 10 to add bubbles to the video I made in Paint 3D:

- Click “Auto Keying” circle shaped record button in Timeline.
- Press Space to start recording.
- Press [G] to move the cube. Notice keyframes being generated automatically.
I also created music for the above video in Chrome Song Maker (but couldn't add lyrics with Song Lyrics Generator), and used the online Veed video editor to add the music to the Blender video animation. EzGif resized it small for me.

PAINT 3D
I really love working in Paint 3D. It's simple but powerful -- great for "sculpting" the figure in my style on the computer, in real time.
One particular adjustment really makes a huge difference. By hitting "3" on the keyboard one will repeat the same 3D tool that he just used. Therefore I programmed one of the buttons on the Wacom stylus with "3," in order to continue using the last 3D tool. Specifically, after drawing a "soft edge" shape, I press the button on my Wacom stylus, and then I can draw another "soft edge" shape immediately. This small convenience makes the drawing process flow painlessly, especially when drawing-sculpting the live model.
HOLOGRAMS
The next challenge is to pump up the presentation. It would be nice to exhibit my digital 3D figures without using a VR headset like the Oculus. It looks like there are some hologram displays coming to market:
- The world's highest-resolution holographic display
- Adric alerted me to their Kickstarter
- I could hardly believe my eyes! - Looking Glass Holographic Monitor
- Voxon VX1 being demonstrated in London an Madrid
- You can feel and hear these holograms
- The WAVE - World’s Largest Anamorphic Illusion
ANAMORPHIC ART
pushing 3D
In my master's thesis I suggested that the next art challenge was to partition the physical 3D space in front of the painting -- such as by delivering different perceptions from different physical positions in front of the canvas. Michael Murphy does exactly this with physical sculptural elements:
NFTs
One of the craziest contemporary developments is using the "Non-fungible Token" (NFT) to buy digital art online with the Ethereum blockchain.
Non-fungible tokens will buy digital art on Open Sea (see OpenSea's Instagram), SuperRare, Cryptovoxels, Niftygateway and others listed on Nonfungible and NFTplazas.
These expensive NFT Beeple images are where Fine Art meets 3D Art (made in Blender and Paint 3D), showing off a different attitude than the more conventional Blender animations, or not.
Maybe SNL explains NFTs the best.

- My Heritage website animates photos for "free," if you give them a credit card. Interesting examples on Twitter. Meh! I did the same for free with First Order Motion Model last summer; and it's more versatile.

- Ken Romig sent me some figure drawings on Instagram by Adam Clarke (@thecommonpeople_draws) which were drawn in Dreams by Media Module for the PS4.
