- Pika has just launched the video creator Pika 2.1 AI with characteristics such as scene and realistic movement control.
- Features such as dynamic lighting and style transfer film production.
- Compared to Sora, Pika 2.1 is aimed at any skill level.
The video creator AI Pika Labs is anxious to stand out from possible competitors such as Operai and Sora, and his newest model adds a real power to that effort. Pika 2.1 adds a complete set of new and improved functions just over a month after Pika 2.0 fell.
The new model offers users to tools to make animation softer, more dramatic lighting and the most realistic physics. It is not entirely Pixar, but it is closer than you could imagine, and it is still usable for those who see YouTube tutorials to edit videos of family albums.
The ingredient function of the scene introduced with Pika 2.0 remains the star of the new model, which offers to incorporate people, objects and locations raised from the photos that upload. His living room becomes a spaceship bridge, and his dog can star in a romantic drama with a few clicks. However, the new advanced movement control function is where Pika 2.1 really flexes. The fluid and elegant animation is suddenly much more feasible, replacing the most robotic and uncomfortable movements of previous models. The dancers and gymnasts can star in their video without looking like dolls full of straw.
Attend
Thanks to the new realistic physics simulation function, all videos feel more like reality. Objects behave as if they really exist in the real world, which means that a character that throws a ball now results in an arc and rebound, just like Isaac Newton says it should. Although a somewhat subtle update in some way, its animation still changes as a video game scene to a live action performance.
The new dynamic lighting effects also allow you to improve those scenes with a real mood. The shadows are deepened, pop pop and sunsets seem to be torn directly from the travel influence reel. And if you prefer to have a much more stylized type of cinema, the new-seamless style transfer feature allows you to renew your modern and realistic video in a neon-noir of the 1980s or a moving watercolor paint.
Pika Power
Of course, Pika 2.1 is not entering an empty sand. He faces Sora and many others such as Runway, Pollo and Luma Labs’ Dream Machine. Sora has gained praise for her text -to -text capabilities, but in reality she is mainly for professionals, not casual filmmakers. Runway has some impressive creations and a multimodal input that can create videos from text, images or existing video clips. Even so, there is also a small learning curve to unlock all its characteristics.
Pika 2.1, meanwhile, is presented as a good tool for professional animators and weekend dabblers equally. That said, you will need a subscription to use Pika 2.1 and all the new features. Otherwise, you can only use the Pika 1.5 model. That is nothing to sneeze, since Pika 1.5 offers a lot of fun visual effects to attract it to register and access the latest Pika model.
