SIGNALS
Speech and text translated into sign language by a 3D avatar: Israeli, American, Brazilian and Spanish. Runs offline on desktop, on the web and in an Android prototype. The reverse path, from camera to text, is in development.
Tools · interactive apps · immersive experiences
I build the tools that keep creative work moving.
Custom apps, plugins and interactive experiences, powered by AI, for studios, companies and institutions.
For 20 years I have been a creative and technical director for CGI, real-time and museum experiences, in Brazil and Israel. Today I turn the way a team creates into tools they use every day.
NewAdir for After Effects The AI animation director that builds, animates and checks the comp for you. Meet Adir ›Featured tool · After Effects
Adir.
Motion design, directed.
An AI animation director inside After Effects. You write one sentence, it proposes, you approve, and it builds, animates and checks the comp in your project.
One sentence is the brief.
Ask by text or voice, drop in references and pick a style. No expressions or scripts needed.
It proposes. You approve.
Adir shows the plan and the first frame before animating. Nothing is spent without your OK.
It builds and checks its own work.
Layers, keyframes, cameras and light, right on the timeline. Then it renders, checks the result and fixes it.
Point to adjust.
Mark a spot or an area on the comp and write what to change. Every request can be undone.
Got a process that deserves to become a tool?
If your team repeats the same work every week, it can become an app that does the tedious part and leaves the decisions to you.
Featured
Projects where the tool and the experience were designed together.
Hair Draw
During the consultation, the doctor photographs the patient, draws where the treatment goes and, in about 15 seconds, shows a realistic view of the patient untreated, today and after the transplant, from several angles. Hair, beard and eyebrows.

About
I am Yaakov Lopes, a creative and technical director. I started in film and 3D in Brazil in 2005 and have worked in Israel since the 2010s on museums, exhibitions and institutional projects, leading teams of designers, developers and animators.
AI made images and video cheap to produce. Designing the process is still the hard part: what to automate, where a person needs to decide, and how it fits a team’s day. That is the work I do.
