Aether R&D
isolated prototype environment
Diffusion engine / browser spatial workflow
Runnable research artifacts for character, scene, camera, keyframe, and generated-world workflows. These are evidence—not product features—and every known failure is retained on purpose.
01 / End-to-end workflow
Nine organic-pose stress tests compare the current Mara and Ivo surfaces with a production animator rig. Complete 35-style hair and 55-item wardrobe audits feed an explicit 87-item production acquisition target.
Real CMU ASF/AMC clips retarget offline into content-addressed 30 Hz tracks on the canonical 64-joint actors. Select actors, switch both skinned wardrobes, play, scrub, and inspect authored source-review markers before any baseline is approved.
A machine-generated library, 31 extracted prop instances, four generated wardrobe GLBs, two 24-joint characters, exact camera and physical lights compile into one browser scene and a content-hashed diffusion control frame.
A declarative brief compiles independent bookshelves, books, tables, chairs, lamps, windows, two canonical characters, leather wardrobe recipes, a hand-bound crowbar, motivated lighting, cameras, and evaluation thresholds.
A CC0 MakeHuman body with a stable deformation skeleton, full fingers, limb twist joints, 52 ARKit facial controls, two separately skinned outfits, and reviewed static interaction keyframes.
Two immutable fictional identities, outfit-safe GLB swaps, joint-level static posing, exact camera controls, and a real key/fill/rim/practical rig directed together through constrained chat.
Four FAL-generated rigged costume assets, a genuine metric workshop proxy, protected costume swaps, and constrained AI static-pose revisions with exact browser fine-tuning. No diffusion or video yet.
Generated characters, outfits, props, and environment assets instantiated in PlayCanvas with exact camera, lens, pose, attachment, light, and blocking controls.
Depth lift, projection geometry, camera envelopes, and reconstruction experiments. Browser-local controls work here; GPU and provider submissions remain local-only.
02 / Environment packet
Seven in-house spatial representations and a controlled FAL image-model prompt tournament share the same concept, authored camera, and control packet. A dedicated human inspector exposes clean-plate drift, changed pixels, per-object crops, and missing mask evidence.
Every editable object is removed from the architectural plates, reconstructed as an independent PBR GLB or local UV-textured plane, and placed back into the metric room. Move a prop and its complete texture moves with it.
The semantic split and clean plates worked, but prop pixels were frozen from source-camera projections rather than authored into the assets. Retained as the failure that motivated checkpoint 012.
A clean six-camera environment generated in one prompt is projected over a metric room. Four separately generated GLBs add movable roof structure, machinery, furniture, and cable-car geometry. A new coherent cardinal sheet is ready for World Labs Marble.
New living-room and bedroom designs generated by Qwen, with Qwen and Gemini six-view sheets projected over the same metric room shells. Repeated-camera failures remain directly comparable with the stronger Gemini refinement.
03 / Generated worlds
Provider-generated layered geometry with genuine parallax and an opt-in 542 MB dense room. It is an appearance proxy, not a metric set.
Two generated videos trained into forced splats with synthetic camera paths. The scene breaks, but the artifacts remain available so you can judge the failure directly.
The direction-aware four-view request and SPZ-plus-collider viewer are implemented. The retained receipt honestly shows the missing credits instead of fabricating a result.
04 / Source consistency
One 3072×3072 generation containing four explicit cardinal views. Visual identity holds much better, although rigid roof topology still fails.
Raw ReconViaGen GLB beside a deliberately authored 2.5D projection room, with camera controls that expose where image projection stops being spatial geometry.
Published evidence boundary
This site is isolated from the customer application. Checkpoints 006, 013, and 017 use bounded server-side FAL verbs; checkpoint 017 adds attributed keyframe and video generation. Other generation controls remain read-only. Large immutable artifacts and append-only attempt attribution use a same-origin private R2 binding.
