I think Larian Studios is using generative AI correctly and ethically. https://youtu.be/Gy9P2HPF9ss?t=534 1. Automation of tasks nobody wants to do (voice editing, animation retargeting, cleaning up mocap) This is an excellent usage of generative AI, and what we should absolutely be striving for. 2. Whiteboxing…
I think it's quite simple.. It costs a fortune to use robots for anything novel and the chance of producing anything useful in practice is pretty low. What they've done here is cut their R&D budget because they didn't see any returns
Here's a use for AI that actually made me feel nostalgic and brought a tear to my eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umikrwibg_k Truly gave me chills! Regardless of the nonsense about what race mermaids are if we get an option to revisit characters as we remember them in live action movies, I would welcome it and…
Seems interesting although when I read this, I think there are some big problems for Animators and Mocap guys. Even for the good ones out there, they can only do so much work being 1 person no matter how skilled they are. This new AI that Wonder Dynamics has will be able to do the work of an animator, lightning guy, rigger…
Testing image to 3d AI, right 2 are AI images from Pinterest, left 2 are images by concept artists (originals shared below). All images were processed in Gemini to get desired results in free version of 3d AI tool. While the geometry is horrible, it can be fixed with AI toplogoy tools like RapidPipeline or even in Zbrush,…
Here's one use of AI in animation I support, https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sixte-de-vauplane_ai-machinelearning-genai-activity-7262747642663776257-j2DY?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop The tool will be exclusive to Pocoyo and any licenses Animaj acquires or partners with, though they will release some tools to…
It seems important to clearly define "problematic AI gen" versus "AI as a tool".Careless blanket anti-AI stance would only serve to reinforce indiscriminately hateful attitude to all AI (and its users), including the tech that should be researched and integrated into workflows, like already mentioned retopo, unwrapping,…
So far I see only few AI things that do something helpful . Simplygon maybe. but not that good actually especially on hard edge things . Cascadeur maybe but I am not an animator so have no idea really . Chat GPT that wrote a few helpful addons for Blender for me . Adobe sampler Ai , not that much really. Textures are still…
What about people posing AI "concept art", in mood boards for their 3D WIPs? To take one example, this thread has a bunch of ai images. https://polycount.com/discussion/237246/zbrush-how-do-i-sculpt-this How is this for a potential statement? Not final, just a proposal... * We forbid ai generators from being used to make…
