I'm personally not against AI-powered tools that aims to make an artist's work easier. Clip Studio Paint has a bunch of tools like generating shadows and other stuff I forgot about. Even though they're wonky and don't work on most artstyle, I can see myself using such tools. For the autodesk AI shape thingy, it could be…
Inpaint will not fix lack of knowledge. It won't let you fix perspective or composition or anything bigger. If you don't know what you are doing, ai tools wont either.
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…
About a little over a year and a half. Check out the google trends for chatGPT. Notice something? About 5 months after it debuts it's at the highest point. It goes up and down, but it never gets higher than in April of 2023. That means that pretty much everyone who is interested in chatGPT has already investigated it. For…
Well, apparently tons of VFX artists are out of work these days. Surely there will be at least some among them willing to pick up 'prompting' and combine that with their existing skillset. From then on it's going to be more about lack of functionality in the toolset, I suppose. So the verdict in this writeup seems a bit…
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,…
"The media is in the INTERNET" the database behind most of these tools is LAION B, which is full of stuff that should not be in there and should not be used outside of its original intent, to study, to experiment, not used in a commercial sense. Which AI tools is currently scraping the internet itself?
This tool works with unreal 5 metahumans. You will be able to use it with metahuman heads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X90MasJf50c I don't think you can import custom models just yet, or export content for fine tuning. Heres a new AI chatbot feature in a development build…
I'm not a fan of completely blackbox AI moderation, but if it's completely on the end user with tolerance sliders and options to turn it off and on, I'm more than happy to see quality of life tools like that.
A lot of the early AI tools in photoshop are great, select subject and refine edge, content-aware fill, etc. It's when it's used to generate new points of interest where it become a problem.
