I'm still waiting when we have more AI tools to help in creation process, then AI who focus on giving us a "final" product. Tbh i don't understand this pursue for finish art, models etc. We need more tools like Cascadeur.
That is very true. I don't use a lot of AI tools. The ones I do use are generally just part of the process. They help with a specific task while I maintain control of the project.
This certainly looks good enough to use as a first-iteration, and would certainly save time compared to modeling and texturing from scratch. How smart the UV unwraps will make a difference, but based on what it can do with geometry, I expect that the UV maps would be pretty easy to work with.
the price is way too high for the current quality of models. 99.9% of these can't be used in anything professional and would need significant work. It would probably be faster to just make them from scratch than try to fix them.

I wanna know if it can create models for other characters like if it needs multiple illustrations so they get the front and backside of said characters. 😅
@@CGDive One of the possible outcomes of AI is the loss of many human skills, including creativity. It will be a gradual process though, if it happens it will take more than one or two years. But it is a very possible scenario. AI may end up becoming a boon for creative processes but in this current climate i expect it to be other way around.
Should services scare me more than I see anything positive in them. Nevertheless, I will continue to practice modeling, sculpting, rigging, etc. and would rather do my own things than ever use, let alone support, such crap. Or, as always, your videos are great & educational :)
Definitely, keep practicing. One of my faults is probably that I don't seem to understand people who feel discouraged by the advances of AI. Practicing your art will not hurt you even if AI ends up replacing some parts of the commercial production process.
Loving the comments like "We'll be out of jobs" "AI is advancing fast" or hate towards this type of machine learning. 1. Many artists today are out of jobs anyway because of studio closures, market shifts, and the economy. 2. It's literally the beginnings of anything remotely resembling to an "AI". Anyone calling machine learning "AI" should refrain from commenting dumb things. It's a marketing term. 3. As a 3D artist working on projects from A to Z, I wish there were tools like automatic assets, automatic animations, automatic everything. I love doing all the technical aspects, but at some point it's repetitive and tiring. I want to spend more time on creativity rather than solving problems all day. So far the first models can imitate humans, create terrible fake images, and now also some form of 3D that you have to manually clean, making this tool a good retopology base, or just useless for now. Thank you Todor for making quality content. Relax people!
Saying the black box of weights that compose a model isn't an 'artificial intelligence' is definitely up for debate, because it depends entirely on how you define the term. What exactly comprises intelligence? What does a model need to be capable of to be an 'artificial intelligence' in your eyes?
Far too expensive at the moment. I'll let time and competition find a balanced and a fair price, it's still awesome tech regardless of pricing! I tested it out and it's pretty cool! Might have to keep my eye on this!
@@winxpusr Lmao, that's fair. I'm more so disappointed in CGDive for promoting such a tool. One could argue that it's a "good first step" for artists, but honestly, I think it'd be far better to start from scratch to learn from the experience, make much better results, and feel more gratified for the work you actually put in to say "I made that!" instead of letting a machine do the work. Like, what's the point of making art with Gen AI? For clout to say you "made something amazing"? Waiting to see "pretty" things from key words that some people claim to be hard to do and "as much work as real artists"? Why can't we put more attention and effort into tools that help with the tedious, repetitive processes in art instead, so artists can put more passion into the bigger things? Like filling up flat colors in 2D animation so you don't have to go frame by frame over and over, adding lines in posed faces like Spider-verse so they can focus on other aspects of animation, using a auto select in software like CSP, and so on. And even then, a human would still need to tweak what the tools did to complete their art. Generative AI takes away the life and connection to a human being behind the art, stealing from actual artists who, more often than not, do not consent to have their works put into a machine that spits out amalgamations of images, audio, or text. That's not even touching on how much it costs the environment to make these abominations. Sorry to reply with a paragraph, lol, but as an artist myself, I'm just saddened to see people that I used to follow, who share knowledge and helps others, turn out to side with Gen AI garbage. You'd think they'd understand why this stuff is not good, but I guess not.

I don't see it taking away creativity if it is used to speed up technical processes. Cutting edge technology is the future and we should embrace it, even if it makes some people uncomfortable. All technology evolves. If you make digital art, you have to evolve along with the software. If you don't want to change, then don't be in the business of making digital art.
