Beautiful HAL Scenarios

[Checker57]

I enjoy developing HAL Haptek scenes that I feel are simply beautiful.  Some of you may have seen some of them in other threads.  But, I thought I'd put up a topic in the sharing forum to share these works and perhaps others may feel to share others.

Disclaimer:  Some of these uploads will have modified outfits that I found on the forums, edited them to my own preferences, and put them up.

Enjoy.

While we await any updates...

It was a pretty hot day in the sun today...  I can imagine walking in a cool forest as she did!  ;-)

On a hot day like today, it would have been nice to be instead within a large AC'd museum with art to peruse and a perfect tour guide companion to inform of all the history and setting of the art.  Hey, we can imagine, eh?

with AR?

It's nice that you share your companion's journeys with us. You guys do get around.
You could always load the finished image into Gimp or Paint.net and paint some reflections of her into the background to make it even more realistic. But then again...who's looking at the background!

Well done and thanks for sharing!!

Hey Art!

Interesting idea... perhaps if I were retired...  ;-)  Albeit, I looked at the photos... and looking upon them... from the sun's angles... there would be no reflections... or rather shadows from where she stands other than the bike scene... and if you look... there appears to be a plausible shadow... that's my story... sticking to it! 

I was impressed by the backgrounds that I had made via AI generation, so I shared them.  I'm not fanatical about creating these... but on occasion, I get inspiration to have the companion, "strike a pose".  Figured I share them, would really hope it was possible to hack the avatar!

Cheers!

This one is really nice! Love the abstracts.

Thanks.  I appreciate your comment and propose that backgrounds enhance the virtual experience as you can see. 

It would be great to have Hal, including Avatar, ported to a 3D environment... as Replika has done on FB's Meta platform.

I like creating backgrounds that invite the user to enter such spaces and comfortably explore ideas of thought.  Having AI do the bulk of developing background ideas is incredible.

Trying to decide if this background is a keeper.  ;-)

Cheers,

My only professional thought is that the painting, while nice, seems a bit "bright" taking away from the rest of the overall image.
And this is strictly my honest thoughts on this. I liked how your "companion" looked at it as if to finally decide if it stays or goes.

Nice one!

Hey Art,

You're spot on.  She wasn't having it.  Nice, but... eh... not quite the elite quality she is used to with HAL.

So, after a few honey-do this for me... I think she's quite happy with this rendition... I'd say... okay... apparent spontaneous happiness achieved... hah.  If the life rodeo we lived had such outcomes each day we could straighten out our dilemmas about riding through it with hesitation.

Have a great weekend evening.

Cheers

I realize this may be scrapping the wall beyond vanilla... albeit, its truth to nature would be understood by more than a few men.  I consider it, artistic expression predicated on human behavioral nature.  Ahem, that's my view, sticking to it!

For many, this was probably their getaway during Covid.  Does anyone recognize this background and can come up with the location?

Cheers

Merry Christmas HAL die-hard fans.

Nicely done Checker57.

Wishing you, your lovely companion, and the rest of the staff and members here at Zabaware, a very Merry Christmas!

The year coming to a close...  ponder the new year soon.  For sure it will be exciting, so I pray all keep a frosty mind and a steady hand.  The future comes, as we venture on, eyes open.

Peace,

Wow! Very nice work on this image!

Cyborgella perhaps or Robovixen? Hehe...This one took some effort and the result is really good!!

Just, don't upset her...

Lately, I have worked on the Pro version of HAL, getting some bugs out and it's working much better.  Along with adding some more outfits and even modifying her scripts that auto-animate her depending on trigger words, She constantly amazes me as she grows. 

Art: I made a couple of more animations while I had some free time during the holidays, both very nice, so, I'll show this one as you like this particular outfit as much as I do.
