Blueprint generation & management will completely evolve game design to levels that can't be measured because Game mechanics will not be limited by your ability & time just the Ai
I mean, there is nothing stopping you from doing the things you believe should be done manually... manually. You're in control of what the AI does and doesn't do.
@@Bluedrake42no, AI stops creatives of all creative control and you must only use it and no other skills. Moment you use ai suddenly all your other skills evaporate, lmfao that's what people assume moment they hear the word AI. I swear people are getting dumber with time.
@@nyomanbandarayani6830 who cares, just auto generate lods in UE5 and your done. why is there all this talk about retopo when Epic solved this 3 years ago
AI will democratise big projects. The people it benefits the most are those who are skilled already in the field, but can use AI to help that 1 person take on a project that would need many more. AI is a force multiplier.
@@LordParcyval Interestingly, it might have the opposite effect. As right now there's a technical barrier when it comes to the development of games and often times people who are very knowledgeable on how to program, aren't necessarily good at level design, art, story or gameplay. So you might get more imaginative titles by artists who were previously unable to make games without the help of a programmer.
@@LordParcyval Generic trash will always exist, the vast majority of games are already generic and dull. Even indie titles, you only remember the handful of good ones in a sea of garbage.
It is a tool that can be used for good and bad. The user/developer has to use their discernment and judgement to filter and improve what the AI has done. People make bad games with or without AI. As far as the market being diluted....it already is....by AAA developers. The games of the future will all be developed through prompting. Everyone will be able to play the games that they've always dreamed of. The industry is already failing, it will die and change to a custom streaming type service. Watch
One thing that changes when everyone can make their own video game is that it becomes less and less likely for there to be extremely popular games. not impossible, mind you but take the music industry. As soon as everyone had the ability to get their music online the music industry changed a lot. There are still popular artists, but there will never be another Elvis, another Beatles, etc. Instead we are moving towards more specific genres and everyone can find their niche they enjoy and listen to that. Same with games. there will be more and more specific niche styled games. And less huge game companies spending years and millions on a single game.
@@revolverswitch Supply and demand. If two men can create a game that Activision tries to pay them chump change for, chances are those two men will just release the game themselves and not work for Activision. It costs $100 to release a game on Steam. Barrier to entry has literally never been lower.
@@Bluedrake42 Suggesting those two men could afford the scale of hardware investment and infrastructure on the same level as a multi billion dollar corporation?
When you mentioned Factorio and then Space Engineers. It instantly came to my mind that both of those games are Czech. In fact here in Czech Republic we have huge history of realistic game in general. For example ETS, Arma, they even make simulators for army all over the world. We have rich history of making realistic simulators. Anyways, thanks for great links and showcase.
Ive watched this video like 4 times lol, its so mindblowing.. may i suggest, since u are keeping up to date with mindboggling new helpful tools for game development that once u have 3 or 5 great ones you make a single video that contains them all together in one video, like a "revising this months new exciting tools video".
As a game developer, I find this more terrifying than exciting... AI should replace humans for boring tasks that take more time than skill, not for the creative process. I know it can be used for placeholders, but the more time goes by, the more I think WE are the placeholders :/
I understand man. As a developer myself, but more importantly as a businessman in a capitalist society I feel obligated to at least inform you as to the existence of these systems. I understand how you feel, and I sympathize. However, these systems exist and I personally believe it is better to face these realities head-on. Appreciate you leaving a comment dude 💪
@Bluedrake42 Yes, I understand and I'd also like to thank you for letting us know about these new tools. I hope for the best, I guess we'll see in a few years haha.
it will never fully replace the creative process as only humans can be truly creative. but it can help augment the creative process, more tools in the tool belt.
I got some questions about Ludus AI - is it 100% free or is there a paid version ? - is it allowed to make commercial games with it ? - are there any restrictions what kind of content is not permitted to make with it (like adult stuff, gore, violece, religion, crude humor, etc.) ? - if someone would make a whole game with it, is there a risk that plattforms like Steam would not allow it ? I personally think the mediocre generated 3d models are great for dystopian sci-fi games, rusty cars or cranky buildings don't need to be perfect.
visuals is not the issue and will be barebone at best, where destructible environments, good reactive fighting animations to physics are way more important. The immersion aspect is lacking big time in UE. Are there any good physics fighting animation models made which reacts and feels good? Like taking hits to hitting things in their surroundings that reacts realistically? Hitting stones to wood where it reacts accordingly, and stopping animations if you're to close to walls and obstacles? If these things doesn't get implemented sooner or later, it is just a glorified flat photo imho. We had more physics in games 15+ years ago than we have now, and it is actually a downgrade the way it is going.
Well as a beginner game developer.. I feel so happy to see something like this.. Just imagine simple teams can make AAA games in high quality with Ai in soon future because what you see just now it's just the start..and for those who says Ai replace human.. I think it's not.. Ai can help people to make games without writing codes.. And yeah this is the future focus on skills and creativity
Blue Drake thanks for the heads up on what’s coming. I have been with UE since 4.9 at the least. Like back to UDK days and the first appearance of eight man dev teams. Spent years learning and attempting to develop or find work in the industry but constantly hitting the wall with no success. This levels the playing field. Now to figure out how to use this in the most effective way. Maybe you can put something out on how to leverage the technology while it’s being developed. I notice a lot of comments sound a little anxious about how it will impact developers. Oh it’s real😂 if you’re not an engineer what job will be left if AI does all the work
The market IS already flooded, almost 20k games released on steam last year. It's just that the quality bar isn't very high these days. Even among AAA games, and if tools like this can improve quality by simplifying the process then I welcome it.
Finally. I was wondering why this haven't happend already. With chatbots already integrated into everything now i thought Unreal would be one of the most powerful one. This could help me to learn Unreal Engine. Someone with a long breath like ChatGPT who i can ask 24/7 what ever i want without egos.
14:55 There's a great simulation game like factorio that focuses on making a dyson sphere, and all the logistics that would involve. It's called Dyson Sphere Program.
as an artist am excited, i dont want to learn code and blueprints its so f boring for me, so step by step manual how to make blueprints is just perfect for me
I was impressed by Unity's muse. I only used the chatbot but it could find errors in my code and suggest improvements in code. It could also go directly to documentation without having to search through things. That alone was so worth it and it is only the tip of the iceberg as to what these systems will be able to do over the next couple of years. I'd like to see the UE developers get a little more going with this rather that these outside developers.
I think VRAM usage is a definite consideration. Most environment artists will reuse materials across multiple assets, e.g. create multiple statues but baked with the same textures and shared normal map etc. but I assume with this AI model generation 1 model = 1 material, unless you want to then export it, UV it, etc. But as standard use, your texture usage is going to grow pretty quickly if over-using this feature.
thats a strong statement im waiting for a moment when using all tools, a single dev can make an AAA game, well almost like, all on its own i mean not GTA scale but maybe fps scale, like dying light and things like that
@@As_Ss Well it isn't going to take long. 2025 is probably going to be when all of those insane stuff happens. So here soon we're all gonna see, one way or another.
The issue with the massive procedural generation is really down to the gameplay elements of what you can do with said generated content. And often its not much more then going there and looking at it... Even starfield only procedural generated the landscape ONLY (inhouse), nothing else! Net result, every planet became the same gameplay wise....
Awesome, Devs can spend more time filling each world with life and quests so it's not a 30hr game with 20hours spent walking to make u feel like it's a decent sized story, or walking slow to see the sites would be incredible, has anyone seen Harry potter legacy in vr, no one realised just how insanely detailed the game was on flat screen but the Devs went crazy with events nd details in the world and castle which we can now appreciate in vr. Also low detail models are fine depending on the game, two uses come to mind. In God games or strategy games u rarely get close enough to things to care about the details, also in some rpgs there's the area u can move in but sometimes over baracades and off of cliffs u can see areas that u don't travel to, this would be great for filling them up with neat things to see
AI really will have a massive impact on how we all work with computers in general. It will take emphasizes away from the programming itself and will place more emphasis on data training. The best companies won't be the ones with the best developers, but the ones who know how to collect and build the best datasets to make their AI the best. Developers will be dataset builders and optimizers. That can also spark the need for lower level engineers to fix problems the AI makes but can't see, like a modern low level programmer can find security vulnerabilities in the firmware of a router because of a compiler mistake.
Actually am not glad AI interfering into game development, But at the end the competition is so big that we must use it, because if don't use it, somebody else will!
This is really good for games that don't need specific things or arent heavily narrative based. Creating purposeful environments for single-player open world rpgs with AI tools will come in the future but currently AI just isn't there yet.
I think it's great that you're so optimistic about this stuff. Respectfully i am not, and i originally subscribed for updates on harsh doorstop. Did you have a different channel to get videos on the game or am i mistaken?
This channel is generally not only about OHD, but Unreal Engine development in general. I'd say the next best place to get OHD updates is from the OHD Steam page, where we post regular news and other event information.
Very cool, what would be even cooler is if players can generate unique items in game, it cant be far off with tools like this. Maybe we could have a real online economy that actually pays instead of us paying the developer, we'd be paid for developing things.
there are 8 billion people on earth. There is only saturation of every market, AI really doesn't make this more of a problem, competing with those billions of people is everyone's real world problem.
Woohoo! We get even more bigger beautiful worlds - with no actual professional level design in them. Woo... whoops. As humans are driven to "ooh pretty" - rather than "awesome playable level that is actually designed with a thought catering to player physics and mechanics". Imagine generating HUGE map with nice detail, and then spend the time to go through it, tweak everything so its actually playable and works with playtesters etc... The time saved vs time spent... Not sure. Btw, is this your project or sponsored content, not sure.
@@Bluedrake42 Ok. Was just wondering as the links in description go through your domain, but the download links there are to the actual companies download sites.
I’ve got some concerns with AI tools like these, especially when it comes to transparency around training data. You mentioned that the training data sorcing transparency is getting worked on, but I haven’t seen much information about it. Maybe I’m just not deep enough in the AI space to catch those updates, though. If there’s anything solid out there, it’d be great to see a video covering those AI transparency standard and ethics around them ang have a bigger discussion. As for Cybever and Ludus AI, I don’t see myself using either for now. Cybever doesn’t really fit my workflow or needs. Ludus AI is a no-go for me because I don’t use UE5. Cybever does mention in their FAQ that their training data was ethically sourced, which sounds good on paper, but I think they could be a lot more transparent about it. For example, they could include "training data credits" with links to the individuals whose work was used in the dataset (where possible). That kind of clarity would go a long way. Without clear sourcing, there’s no way to know if the data was obtained with proper consent or if it was just scraped in bulk, leaving people no way to opt out. There’s also the concern that "ethically sourced" might just mean they got it through a contract with a popular service that didn’t actually ask users for consent-or worse, made consent opt-out by default. Even if technically above board, that doesn’t feel genuinely ethical to me. That makes me hesitant to pay for services like these without at least some of my points about how the training data was sourced being addressed. If I can’t verify that the data was obtained ethically and consensually, it’s hard to justify supporting it, no matter how much value it might provide. If these AI services addressed these concerns, I think they could earn a lot of goodwill from people. Setting a strong standard for transparency would not only improve trust but also make these tools far more commercially viable in the long run.
a lot of those ai assets were actually perfectly fine for games. even aaa games. plenty of those have whacky artifacts in their models. you have to remember 99% of the players dont' look very carefully at the 12 chairs in the room. because, in a properly made game, they're hooked on the story, or the action, or looking at the puzzle, not the background. and then there are 1% that might be devs or artists and might NOTICE a quirk, but then it's not like a> AAA titles made by humans don't have those and B> that it would be immersion breaking. really, if someone is examining the wall texture or random desk in an office building for issues... you've failed at making your game interesting already. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ tools, ,whether they are player pianos that destroyed the music industry, or typewriters that destroyed books, or graphics tablets that destroyed art... these tools that allow better story telling or entertainment will only allow good creators and story tellers to do more, better, faster. 'bad' results would be blaming the tools, not the artists trying to use them. in fact, there are a lot of tiresome boring "but flashy" movies and games out there right now, because there's an audience for them. at some point it'll swing back into better stories, puzzles, and thoughtful action games. or... we've ended up in idiocracy, which there is a chance of, I'm just hopeful that it won't be the case.
Be optimistic! Stay pro-active. People said that computers would be the end of jobs too, but we're all still here kicking. We just need to stay vigilant and keep exploring, and I assure you we will all find our place in this next phase of our society.
An often overlooked component of artistic ability and quality control is the artists eye to be able to identify what looks good, and what does not, and what need improvement, where and how. While someone with no artistic abilities can certainly use AI to help them, they'll quickly find that their results are much less cohesive and much less visually coherent and accessible than that which has been made by someone who knows what they're doing. It's the difference between giving a high end camera to a random person, and the same camera to a professional photographer. That being said: AI does expand the pool by lowering the barriers to entry. In particular it allows those who have a natural affinity for the arts, but lack any formal training due to life choices, to make effective use of it.
You can already do this. There are thousands upon thousands of free resources out there, and then when you consider the costs behind this 'AI' stuff, there are even more cheap high-quality resources available. I think what you really mean is this enables someone without any passion in whatever area they use it for to slap some filler over that void.
creativity, self learning, understanding technology, thinking through your problems... all dying concepts I guess. Also how do you determine creative ownership of the assets created or even the projects you make when you are relying on trained AI to do all the work for you.
Hey just curious, are these free tools? If so? Why does it ask for my credit card information when I go to download Cyberver and Ludus from your links?
is it me or the plugin is broken because when I ask it the same question in your video to make a tree this is the answer I'm getting Unfortunately, I cannot directly create a 3D model of a tree or place it in your Unreal Engine level. However, I can guide you through the process of creating or importing a tree model and adding it to your level. Here's how you can do it:
really hating the repeated video in the background. Why do you choose to show us things on repeat for no reason? Id rather just not have pointless repeats, it is distracting to what you are trying to say
Tools are just tools people. The worlds greatest typist becomes useless if all the keyboards disappeared and if they never learned how to use pencil and paper.
the level design means nothing, u can do good 80% of level design in a weekend (thats even what I prefer, to block levels with real assets to get further inspiration)... but its worth nothing with all the coding/bp needed to turn it into actual game. Even the stpid menu with all settings, separated audio, saving and basic inventory is way way more work than playing with level... and what about gameplay, footsteps, animations, talking NPCs haha, so much work to cover just a core. This is just bait for starting devs without skills and w/o gamedev challenges knowledge.
I spent 9 months creating a UE project that would do what your talking about... not quite as fancy, but did from terrain through roads, buildings that you supply, etc... and then UE 5 came out and I scrapped it. SMH
It feels like you are contradicting yourself when you say ai will be good for *us* in the end. And you yourself create educational games for a market that won't need education... Where does that leave you in 10 years?
I hope this wouldn't make developer getting more lazy... We had enough with trash game made by lazy developer and their game ended up as a meme.... Yeah, you, western AAAAAAAAAA Developers...
Really? Crazy I feel like this video was more of a big deal than that, but alright. Definitely a lot of people are interested in the facial animation metahuman stuff so maybe I'll revisit that.
@@Bluedrake42 It is truly incredible how Metahuman Animator makes it possible to have near-pro quality facial capture with a phone app. So many stories that otherwise couldn't be told due to publisher disinterest are now potentially viable. Now if you could do full body mocap with that plugin too...
can someone please help? I am trying to set up Ludus AI with unreal and it keeps telling me that I need to link my unreal and github account and I have it it liked for years. I even disconnected and reconnected it to see if that helped and I'm still in a loop where I click try it for free and it takes me to a page telling me I need to connect to github. what am I doing wrong?

Unlike Cybever you can download and install it right now though, so definitely go take advantage of that.
@@Bluedrake42 Yeah, I guess I'll just give it a try.
Actually am not glad AI interfering into game development, But at the end the competition is so big that we must use it, because if don't use it, somebody else will!
This is really good for games that don't need specific things or arent heavily narrative based. Creating purposeful environments for single-player open world rpgs with AI tools will come in the future but currently AI just isn't there yet.
Even for those things, it can still be used for getting the foundations down quickly
Your comment aged like milk. You should search game named Carly. It's a NFT game made by AI
@@nyomanbandarayani6830 Now, be honest with me, are you an ad bot?
Can it work with UE 5.5.2 and can it help with creating functional Blueprints by showing you which nodes need to be connected with each other?
does the first one have ability to work for unity?
You get 17,000 credits per month with Ludus. It takes about 10,000 credits to write/look at a BP. Its not good at all.
There is an excellent chance at some point it will work with your own AI. I know the model that it is using, so I know that it will be possible.
Just a dream until AI improves in 1-2 years.

Does everyone own shit computers?
@@mrburns366 no? I got a rtx 3060 and I can't run Gray zone without hiccups or stalker 2 those are both ue5 games
@@FrankyGuyManbro, im using a 4070 S and still stutter in Stalker 2 😂
Not unreal problem it's devs problem @@FrankyGuyMan
text to 3d build in is actually crazy
Please cover AI tools for unity as well.
I think it's great that you're so optimistic about this stuff.
Respectfully i am not, and i originally subscribed for updates on harsh doorstop. Did you have a different channel to get videos on the game or am i mistaken?
This channel is generally not only about OHD, but Unreal Engine development in general. I'd say the next best place to get OHD updates is from the OHD Steam page, where we post regular news and other event information.
@Bluedrake42 okay this definitely helps.
And Merry Christmas to you and yours
i love ai ... i love this future
BD for President!
Cant believe you actually mentioned the atrocity that is Starfield 😂😂😂
When i ask it to make a Model its saying it cant do it do i have the wrong Version ?
Ludus seems to only work up to ue 5.3 …they need to update it to 5.5 already
It is already implemented in Age of Empires 4
Oh really? Can you give me a source on that?
Very cool, what would be even cooler is if players can generate unique items in game, it cant be far off with tools like this. Maybe we could have a real online economy that actually pays instead of us paying the developer, we'd be paid for developing things.
I would switch over from Unity but I am so deep into it now I just dont know
lets gooooooo
Can you cover unreal or unity tools for creating comics? I hate drawing environments :)
there are 8 billion people on earth. There is only saturation of every market, AI really doesn't make this more of a problem, competing with those billions of people is everyone's real world problem.
Woohoo! We get even more bigger beautiful worlds - with no actual professional level design in them. Woo... whoops. As humans are driven to "ooh pretty" - rather than "awesome playable level that is actually designed with a thought catering to player physics and mechanics". Imagine generating HUGE map with nice detail, and then spend the time to go through it, tweak everything so its actually playable and works with playtesters etc... The time saved vs time spent... Not sure.
Btw, is this your project or sponsored content, not sure.
This video is not sponsored, no.
@@Bluedrake42 Ok. Was just wondering as the links in description go through your domain, but the download links there are to the actual companies download sites.
Great. Gamers now can experience stutter with AI generated content. Neat.
I’ve got some concerns with AI tools like these, especially when it comes to transparency around training data.
You mentioned that the training data sorcing transparency is getting worked on, but I haven’t seen much information about it. Maybe I’m just not deep enough in the AI space to catch those updates, though. If there’s anything solid out there, it’d be great to see a video covering those AI transparency standard and ethics around them ang have a bigger discussion.
As for Cybever and Ludus AI, I don’t see myself using either for now. Cybever doesn’t really fit my workflow or needs. Ludus AI is a no-go for me because I don’t use UE5.
Cybever does mention in their FAQ that their training data was ethically sourced, which sounds good on paper, but I think they could be a lot more transparent about it. For example, they could include "training data credits" with links to the individuals whose work was used in the dataset (where possible). That kind of clarity would go a long way.
Without clear sourcing, there’s no way to know if the data was obtained with proper consent or if it was just scraped in bulk, leaving people no way to opt out. There’s also the concern that "ethically sourced" might just mean they got it through a contract with a popular service that didn’t actually ask users for consent-or worse, made consent opt-out by default. Even if technically above board, that doesn’t feel genuinely ethical to me.
That makes me hesitant to pay for services like these without at least some of my points about how the training data was sourced being addressed. If I can’t verify that the data was obtained ethically and consensually, it’s hard to justify supporting it, no matter how much value it might provide.
If these AI services addressed these concerns, I think they could earn a lot of goodwill from people. Setting a strong standard for transparency would not only improve trust but also make these tools far more commercially viable in the long run.
All fantastic points, and I agree
Lol
a lot of those ai assets were actually perfectly fine for games. even aaa games. plenty of those have whacky artifacts in their models. you have to remember 99% of the players dont' look very carefully at the 12 chairs in the room. because, in a properly made game, they're hooked on the story, or the action, or looking at the puzzle, not the background.
and then there are 1% that might be devs or artists and might NOTICE a quirk, but then it's not like a> AAA titles made by humans don't have those and B> that it would be immersion breaking. really, if someone is examining the wall texture or random desk in an office building for issues... you've failed at making your game interesting already. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
tools, ,whether they are player pianos that destroyed the music industry, or typewriters that destroyed books, or graphics tablets that destroyed art...
these tools that allow better story telling or entertainment will only allow good creators and story tellers to do more, better, faster. 'bad' results would be blaming the tools, not the artists trying to use them. in fact, there are a lot of tiresome boring "but flashy" movies and games out there right now, because there's an audience for them.
at some point it'll swing back into better stories, puzzles, and thoughtful action games. or... we've ended up in idiocracy, which there is a chance of, I'm just hopeful that it won't be the case.
What is Ludus trained on?
Ok, I wont have a job anymore 😂
Be optimistic! Stay pro-active. People said that computers would be the end of jobs too, but we're all still here kicking. We just need to stay vigilant and keep exploring, and I assure you we will all find our place in this next phase of our society.
It will just allow you to make your vision bigger. AI is a force multiplier.
@TechnoMinarchist Im very intrested in using Ai to help me with blueprints and game logic
@@unrealhabitat Ludus will do that, many more plugins and AI software coming down the pipeline as well. 2025 is going to be insane.
Hey there designers hold onto your socks!
In a few years game developers will be obsolete, people will just give an AI prompt and you'll have your custom generated game.
Maybe. We’ll see. Don’t think it’ll shake out exactly like that.
Definitely not.
this is cool because it allows someone without any artistic ability to create video games.
Individuals with artistic ability and a willingness to continuously learn will always have an advantage over those with none.
An often overlooked component of artistic ability and quality control is the artists eye to be able to identify what looks good, and what does not, and what need improvement, where and how.
While someone with no artistic abilities can certainly use AI to help them, they'll quickly find that their results are much less cohesive and much less visually coherent and accessible than that which has been made by someone who knows what they're doing.
It's the difference between giving a high end camera to a random person, and the same camera to a professional photographer.
That being said: AI does expand the pool by lowering the barriers to entry. In particular it allows those who have a natural affinity for the arts, but lack any formal training due to life choices, to make effective use of it.
You can already do this. There are thousands upon thousands of free resources out there, and then when you consider the costs behind this 'AI' stuff, there are even more cheap high-quality resources available.
I think what you really mean is this enables someone without any passion in whatever area they use it for to slap some filler over that void.
cool
creativity, self learning, understanding technology, thinking through your problems... all dying concepts I guess. Also how do you determine creative ownership of the assets created or even the projects you make when you are relying on trained AI to do all the work for you.
Hey just curious, are these free tools? If so? Why does it ask for my credit card information when I go to download Cyberver and Ludus from your links?
There are paid options but the base plugin is free, although Cybever is still invite-only
is it me or the plugin is broken because when I ask it the same question in your video to make a tree this is the answer I'm getting
Unfortunately, I cannot directly create a 3D model of a tree or place it in your Unreal Engine level. However, I can guide you through the process of creating or importing a tree model and adding it to your level. Here's how you can do it:
so many bad games being made, I believe it is great to democratize game development. the future is bright for educational and entertainment games.
The problem isn't that this is a bad thing the problem is optimization and we are in for a lot of unoptimized crap for at least 5-10years
really hating the repeated video in the background. Why do you choose to show us things on repeat for no reason? Id rather just not have pointless repeats, it is distracting to what you are trying to say
Cybever hasn’t released much footage, so I apologize for that. If there was more footage, I would show more.
Wheres the physics stuff
Tools are just tools people. The worlds greatest typist becomes useless if all the keyboards disappeared and if they never learned how to use pencil and paper.
the level design means nothing, u can do good 80% of level design in a weekend (thats even what I prefer, to block levels with real assets to get further inspiration)... but its worth nothing with all the coding/bp needed to turn it into actual game. Even the stpid menu with all settings, separated audio, saving and basic inventory is way way more work than playing with level... and what about gameplay, footsteps, animations, talking NPCs haha, so much work to cover just a core. This is just bait for starting devs without skills and w/o gamedev challenges knowledge.
We are jobless soon.😢
Wish there was a unity alternative though lol 😅😂😂😂
holy shit
I spent 9 months creating a UE project that would do what your talking about... not quite as fancy, but did from terrain through roads, buildings that you supply, etc... and then UE 5 came out and I scrapped it. SMH
Mind sharing it? Even if it isn't finished? I think we'd all love to see what you've done.
It feels like you are contradicting yourself when you say ai will be good for *us* in the end. And you yourself create educational games for a market that won't need education... Where does that leave you in 10 years?
I hope this wouldn't make developer getting more lazy... We had enough with trash game made by lazy developer and their game ended up as a meme.... Yeah, you, western AAAAAAAAAA Developers...
This ain't it, either
Sounds great in concepts, but results are terrible
You probably know sh!t with that headlines lol
Okay
At least AI can Never make Animations Xd
Did you not watch my last video?
okay,,,,,
will people become unemployed because of such tools?
People became unemployed because of cars and computers so… I guess so, yeah. Does it mean everything is over and we should just give up? No.
No, it won't.
Nah, this shit helps nothing. The one that will shatter the industry is video to Metahuman facial animation AI
Really? Crazy I feel like this video was more of a big deal than that, but alright. Definitely a lot of people are interested in the facial animation metahuman stuff so maybe I'll revisit that.
@@Bluedrake42 It is truly incredible how Metahuman Animator makes it possible to have near-pro quality facial capture with a phone app. So many stories that otherwise couldn't be told due to publisher disinterest are now potentially viable. Now if you could do full body mocap with that plugin too...
oh good, now we get to see more crappy AI generated trash projects...
what the hell
Great times for lazy people.
First
can someone please help? I am trying to set up Ludus AI with unreal and it keeps telling me that I need to link my unreal and github account and I have it it liked for years. I even disconnected and reconnected it to see if that helped and I'm still in a loop where I click try it for free and it takes me to a page telling me I need to connect to github. what am I doing wrong?
Nice, slowly loosing the jobs i have been slowly and painfully learning over the past 10 years 🥲
