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…
I'm mad we're not seeing AI where it would would work well and not cause any harm. Like client side AI text chat moderation. Let players check some boxes and adjust a slider to filter set what level of filth gets through auto filtering.
Largely financial value and from an individual standpoint. Traditional art tends to have strong financial value because each piece is one of a kind and the artist is often selective in terms of what they put out there. Usually the selectiveness tends to involve pieces that are reflective of the artists vision for what they…
I really don't have an issue with DEI but I do feel that I should share my perspective on it if it came up in conversation. I actually benefit from it since I'm a visible minority, but I don't really feel good about it since there are others more diverse than me that could really use the initiatives, for example people…
As terrifying as all of this is, I don't think our clients will use this tech in the near future (2-3 years). It's too risky...for now. If some legislation comes out that data needs to be opt-in and be completely transparent, then our clients will have to rethink their workflows and redo a lot of work because even if they…
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…
I am not sure where you try to head to with this question. There is none in Photoshop. Photoshop works with mouse input. This is where it differs. Well, it has hotkeys too. But text input is nothing new really. The first text adventures worked with text. And text adventures are also games.
@"Michael Knubben" that is all true but it is also only the perspective of an artist, and one who is focused on bettering their craft as opposed to getting a product out the door. Many of the people using or wanting to use AI will not be. That is what I was trying to illustrate. In my case, I am a game developer first and…
I hate this argument. Those are all grueling, menial jobs. 3D art is a life-affirming job even if it is often full of grunt work. It's the best thing that ever happened to me and made me a better person. Now instead of making people better we'll make machines better. A waste.
Well, to be fair there is at least one thing which I believe is ML-based and is working really well IMHO, without competing with its own dataset : the Adobe auto background removal tool. I think this is a great example of something using ML that is indeed a tool rather than a replacement. It's not running locally though,…
