Tim Simmons demonstrates Simulan, a mobile workflow that turns a character reference into a 3D assetReference-driven prompting uses selected visual or media examples to guide the content, lighting, composition, style, motion, or structure of an AI generation request. that can be positioned, scaled and rotated in a filmed environment. He notes that the resulting video is generated rather than running in real timeAI-assisted filmmaking uses AI tools for parts of planning, producing or editing a film while people make and review creative choices..
His tests include moving a character through a studio, placing two characters on a tennis court and trying interactions with real people and objects. He highlights consistent placement and camera movement while acknowledging awkward motion and occasional changes to the real setting.
Simmons examines the system’s reality-aware rendering, including reactions to physical movement, voice and light. He also tests sending an output into a world modelA world model learns how an environment is structured and how it may change in response to actions., while noting that he has not yet settled on a practical use for that combination.
