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…
AI isn't threatening anyone's jobs. I've already put it to the test as a solo developer. It doesn't even threaten 2d artist's jobs; we need the PSD files to be able to do cool stuff with it, like UI design elements. Images with prebaked colour, linework and lighting are useless. 1-off 'hero' artworks used for things like…
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…
A few questions? Is A.I. trained and can work without Image Libary because it has some fundamental understanding when i mean "chainmail" or lookd it every time for reference pictures? Some AI. works looks fantastic. Looks like a dozen Screenshots of a movie BUT never was the Character or Monster etc... the same everytime…
How much time do we have left to have the real possibility of earning income and being able to continue working in CGI, video games, design, and any other trade where the creative process of 2D/3D/texturing is involved? I have discovered some tools that frighten me and add to the list of things that threaten our work and…
The most interesting example of this being a euphoria is in a group that was linked in another post that focuses on Afro futurism for the Black Community, https://www.facebook.com/groups/33445301753/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=10162551203046754 so all the art there until the advent of AI…
This sounds about right to me. I mean even before AI art this is how I largely design my own 3d characters. just find a few things that I like and mix together. put a little bit of my own twist on it. I mean, everything that anybody could possibly imagine has already been designed a billion different ways, why should I…
aaaaand I´m done.... I say skills, you say productivity for everyone. I say dumber people, you say colorful world. I say aimbots, you say results. I say devaluation of wages in creative work field due to AI, you say we would be dirt poor without machines anyway. Stolen parts equals parts produced and PAID FOR elsewhere.…
Well to be fair, artists hired in game/entertainment production jobs are likely not going to lose their jobs to this imho, simply because ADs are clever enough to know that the job of an artist in house or freelance isn't just to create "pretty pictures". Unfortunately, similarly to how Kotaku readers and urinalists have…
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…
