We are at such an interesting point in creative history. I've been designing professionally since 1993. I started on ilustrator 88 and photoshop v1. I was down graded in my degree for over use of computers but was the first of my year group to get a job. You will never be able to translate what's in your mind to an ai😂 construct as it has defined set of instruction and parameters. They may be fast but they have limited output posibilties
1993? :O wow, that's pretty cool!! Always love hearing insights from people who've obviously seen multiple rounds of technological changes. Thanks for the comment!
Indeed, the vellum brush is super fun. It's also cool when you have an existing shot and you want to sculpt some extra wrinkles without destroying the current look. Just turn it into cloth and sculpt them in!
HAHAHA Love it! I've been exploring AI and have noticed that it tends to emulate more than simulate. My experience began with Software's like Cosa After Effects, Electric Image, and 3D Studio on DOS operating system, also evolving from linear to non-linear editing. Photography has also been a hobby of mine, underscoring the importance of adaptation in both domains. Houdini stands out for its unique approach, and the way we create with it is distinct. The closest platform I've encountered that uses similar logic is ComfyUI, which utilizes models and modules. In my limited research, I've found that most subscription-based AI tools are not practical for production and more like a fundraiser platforms. While AI is technically impressive, it still lacks in originality, consistency, and control when it comes to details and art. I believe that developing node graph logic can accelerate our adaptation. AI still requires significant input, and I view SideFX as a particularly innovative and transformative player in this field. Thoughts on this?
Out of all artists, I do think vfx artists are at the safer end of the AI chopping block. However, yes, the world is moving fast and soon many of our skills will be automated so it’s a good opportunity to either capitalize on AI or to look for opportunities elsewhere.
i think it highly depends on the department. I can see tasks like roto and cleanup be the first to go, heck they even could already be gone I think. Next is animation (who needs rigging if AI does the anim e.g straight from footage), modelling and comp to a high degree. FX/sims will probably be the last to fall although I could see flesh/muscle/skin/cloth and maybe water to be taken over sooner than explosions let alone magical FX
AI is not going to replace VFX artists and motion designers.. use midjourney long enough and you start to run into frustrating limitations at what it can do.. you're often just "rolling the dice" until you get the image you were hoping for.. this is an incredibly inefficient way to work
I tried to recreate flips or water animations or stills or whatever simulation stuff on ai and it looks always garbage, so yeah for now I think houdini artists are safe
The cloth thing you made was way more flexible than the plagiarism machine could output. Not only that, but you could animate it and do lots of other things with it, as you’re a DAMN good artist. Will “AI” take over? That’s up to the consumers. If the public is ok with that garbage (many are because… reasons,) then yeah, it’s Coffee Time. If copyright stands, and fair use is dropped as a defense (the only defense the scrapers have right now,) then we have a great future. It’s $$$$ to train a model and after the “Ai bros” burned so many artists, good luck getting quality data to train on lol! Getty is but I see a backlash coming once the “royalties” amount to what Spotify artists get or worse. No thank you.
Wait! I like this video and the thing you have created, but if i will hit the Like button.. you will take this as if i think that AI will take our jobs? 😬. 🤣 hmmm i will hit the Like anyway :))
Also until the client can accurately describe what they actually want we are all safe
For now, we are safe, the AI can't do a consistent art, but the clock is ticking against us
@@hdo-gd5tj i keep reading that but i have major doubts

Problem is when you need to have 8different shots of same shape. Now AI have no possibility to create this
wtf I did NOT know you could just sculpt cloth like this...thats awesome

the sexy smooth jazz was a nice touch 🤣
I had to keep it interesting, right? ;)

porn music while advertising tablet was the highlight of my day hahahahahah
I aim to please you man!
bro I just love your content, one of my favorite UA-camrs & houdini artists!! also that tablet looks dope
Thank you so much, you're super kind!
this was a fun video Paul :)
Thank you!

Still waiting for AI to take over uving and retopo haha
@@Fighting-Egg ai is already able creat fire and explosions realtivly well...

also I could argue the AI images looked like shit and even the 20 min version you made looks significantly better
HAHA, you're too kind, thank you!
That was a smooth segue to the sponsor ! 🤣 Great video as usual and congrats for the sponsored video, huion make great graphic tablets !
Thanks! I tried my best to sneak it in there without anyone noticing ;)
Nice challenge!
😂 OMG you’re one funny guy, Paul. Great video.
Need one more episode about sora
I hit subscribe button
Hahaha this is awesome
:D thanks!

I've seen some pretty cool stuff from AI, but, in terms of actually controlling the output, yeah, it's still far from that.. Luckily ;)

Thanks for the comment! I think it makes a lot of sense, I'm rather curious to see what happens in the future... A lot of unknowns
Wow it's just a thinly veiled ad for the tablet with a clickbait AI title... can't tell whether im offended or impressed
Thanks... maybe?
Wait! I like this video and the thing you have created, but if i will hit the Like button.. you will take this as if i think that AI will take our jobs? 😬. 🤣 hmmm i will hit the Like anyway :))
Sucks but it’s taking Houdini jobs already😢
:( yeah it does suck, I agree!
what kind of jobs u mean ?
