So I've read every comment here, and it's clear this thread has basically devolved into a bitching contest between everyone and Tiles - unmoveable like actual, IRL ceramic tiles. To get this thread back on track; I'm looking for an Artstation alternative. I guess using wordpress or some simple html + css is probably the…
Lol, why art of course, though I am wondering how much representation I should have in my portfolio when it comes to the race and age of the characters. I try to think of this aspect more as showcasing that I can create a good range of different characters. DEI is supposed to impact my application positively since I'm…
BTW you all - some of you may remember that Artsation initially came around because CGHub closed down, and people needed an alternative. Don't be lazy this time around - make sure that you have all your images backed up, and also keep in mind that creating a basic online portfolio only takes rudimentary web authoring…
About the SBI curator, I mentioned it since even that group seems to be against the current AAA approach, of course there's that whole DEI conspiracy which is their primary motivation but they too want to play games that are fun and don't break the bank. I liked the idea of a large AAA company promoting smaller more…
I did hear from colleagues at a number of studios, that they have started to incoporate AI tools like stable diffusion and midjourney into their pipelines. There is high priority in creating more proprietary AI tools in studio and this approach is influencing their retention policy when it comes to concept artists. Would…
I wonder about the implications for recruiting, starting now. I guess there's no way around art tests for these kinds of concept art positions anymore - and lengthy ones at that, designed to weed out the cleverest of the prompt users as well as test the usual skills. Surely terribly time consuming for both sides and…
"When a clever person would call me a dumbass then i would be sad. From you it's a compliment." Tiles On Artstation - Great resource of inspiration, portfolios nicely arranged, etc. But I always preferred these forums. And I don´t think that you can reform a platform that allowed all the AI crap for so long. It should…
"What you basically would do is to blind the AI by taking away the training data" I think that is one of the key issues artists want a remedy for. They're basically saying "hey, I didn't post my portfolio online to have it be used by this software unbeknownst to me, that anyone can use for commercial purposes...please…
Well there are basically two layers to this : at the lowest level, there are the billions of images and artists (+ all the relevant metadata) that got scraped and potentially given some so-called "aesthetic rating" in Laion5B - all done and used without consent. A simply query through HaveIBeenTrained using any random…
I can provide more insight on this business model, since I was with EA during its development. So for a game like FC 24 or rather the entirely of EA sports as a model, the whole development process is based on asset automation, clean up, revision and curation. EA works heavily with outsourcers and asset repurposing is…
