@TheosResearchDiary well on one hand adding a 3rd dimension would increase complexity an insane amount and give so many more challenges and failure points. Then you add topology, rigging ability, articulation etc. On the other hand with enough training data should AI not be able to mimic any skill to a decent level? It feels like AI has a limit somehow but we just don't know what it really is. Honestly it might be something basic like electricity cost
Yeah you rais some really good points! Must of the geometry is pretty simply thought. I bet someone could write an auto-topology clean up and get this stuff way better. My money is on clean(ish) models by NYE 2024/5 :) @@jacquesachille7365
Yeah I don't worry about AI if you are creative you are creative, AI just makes it quicker but the creative people will always be creative and you can tweak ai to make it better as it doesn't always give you the best design not bothered about AI it for people who are not creative or need assistance and want something now.
I second that. I am a passionated hobbyist and I wouldn't bother with anything external - I want my works to be my works. I want to be able to say, that is my creation, I have but time and passion into making it, and being certain, that nobody has the same data. However, I think a use case for this AI stuff is background elements, that are pretty small. Like this bike, undivide it to a small poly count and place it somewhere, it nicely fills the background and nobody will notice the jaggedness. Even building such an unimportant background piece costs time, so having it done through the machine would be cool. But how he said in the video, give it a bit more time and those AI models are gonna be nuts. Look at the insane leap AI images made within a year. When people know their prompts, sometimes you can't figure out an AI image anymore.
Alot of the open sharing of ideas and tools has moved towards closed websites for specific use cases, and videos like this that just use a website instead of downloading code or even installing a new addon
I think it's definitely worth it to learn!! These tools will extend your abilities - not replace them. Where are you now in your Blender journey? Have you started?
I'm a beginner. I've been watching Blender videos for years along with Unity. But only recently, finished a semester at University where I had 3,5 months of Blender. I made a 3D character from start to finish. Modeled, Sculpted, Retopologized, UVs, Rigged and Animated. @@TheosResearchDiary Now I'm eager to start my own projects, got lots of ideas but it's a long road ahead. I'm very motivated to properly start. The conundrum regarding AI, is that, it will be a very helpful tool and in many other ways it already is. But you know, at this rate, AI will be better at Blender faster than I will ahah.
I understand your fear.. But even the best AI will likely need some touch up / fixing work, so those skills you've learned will always be valuable. Just sub'd to your channel. Consider posting some vids on your progress - sounds like you have some solid foundational skills!! @@notDreadful
yeh give it say 6 months or a year of development/refinement/training and see where it's at.
What do you think - will it ever get amazing like the Midjourney stuff?
@@TheosResearchDiaryI hope not
How come?

I agree 100%. You can tell when someone is really working with it vs using the first thing they get.

Can you sell the models generated?
I'm not sure about that. But given anyone in the public channels can download, it wouldn't be very exclusive.
That's awesome! You can always retopo your models so it already saves you a lot of time. Thanks for sharing
Hey if you got those re-topology skills yeah I guess you’re good to go!!
Thanks for comment😊 1:20
Nice Prospects for background props like scanning, but you still need 3D Artist to do the Job.
I agree with you 100%

Hey sorry can you elaborate? Did you finish that sentence?
A very demotivating thing for those who are starting to learn blender... Is it even worth the hassle?

@@TheosResearchDiary Thank you! I will surely post something, maybe even this year!
This year?? How bout this week!! Let's goooooooooooooo
@@notDreadful
Just waiting for a way to run this locally... 🤔
Wow that would be amaaaaaazing.
If you see a model let me know
I study 3D, 3d is gunna be my job im scared aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Include AI generation (2D and 3D) in your learning
Don't worry 3D is a great thing to study!!!
You'll be fine ;)
Is high quality possible? I don't care about the colors because I want it carved on wood
Wow! Do you have some wood CNC or router?
hard time to make nice military vehicles, but "aliens xenomorph wearing a blue suit and blue cowboy hat" works
a zombie pumpkin
yeah for sure!! did you try it much?
I think that's good for base
Yeah true
