Check out this Palaeloxodon Walk Cycle I animated in Autodesk Maya and rendered using @Simulon
Palaeloxodon rig by @navanimator
P.S. This video is pure CGI and not AI generated.

The footage is a realistic CGI animation created in December 2025 by artist Solomon W. Jagwe using motion capture, Blender, iClone, and Simulon; the creator explicitly labeled it “NOT Real.”
• Public reactions mix excitement over potential future robot agility with skepticism, as Tesla’s actual Optimus has demonstrated basic walking and tasks but not comparable dynamic skateboarding skills.

The Future is Hybrid
Experiment 2: “Physically” pull back a tiny zombie in my hand like a wind-up toy, then release it to run across a real surface.
Workflow:
Simulon - Start/end states shoot the running sequence (real-time, in-camera).
NanoBanana - create the “in-hand” interaction frame.
KlingAI - generate the hand interaction (holding the zombie, pulling back, placing it down).
DaVinci Resolve - smooth the transition (camera shake/retime/color).
Full breakdown on Substack.

VFXは重すぎる。
生成AI単体では、意図が通らない。
@Simulonで配置・スケール・ライティング・開始/終了フレームを固定し、Veoでその間の相互作用だけを生成。
制御と生成を分業したワークフロー。
これから様々なツール間で広がっていく気がする。

The Future is Hybrid
Experiment 1: “Physically” picking up a virtual 3D figure and placing it in a new location.
Traditional VFX: very difficult.
GenAI-only: no intention, no control.
Hybrid: used @Simulon to lock placement/scale/lighting start/end frames, then use @GoogleDeepMind Veo to generate the interaction between them.
Full breakdown decision trail on Substack.

started watching halfway and had no idea what was so special about picking up a figurine

This is not v2v, and I’m not promoting any models, just documenting the process from a series of experiments. The greatest value in this particular process actually came from our own tools.
Glad to hear you’re already creating with hybrid workflows.
