Thomas Frick

Am I still on time for #artvsartist2025 ? Anyway, this is me, Thomas. Thanks for following me 🦖💘 #artvsartist

@_Hawkon Oops! Thanks for reporting, we will do something about corner UV ASAP :)

at last, modern orange roof.

@EmrysLiset Merci pour ton feedback ! On va continuer à améliorer ça, certains blocks ont encore besoin d'un peu de travail (c'est une update massive)

@ThomasFrick Quoi que... la version dans l'autre sens rendrais peu être moins bien, a part si on applique la lumière en haut et en bas peu être... hmm J'adore le 32 pixels ça permet d'avoir plus de direction artistique et détails mais des fois et c'est plus une très grande histoire de choix

@ThomasFrick Surement déjà au courant mais les Chalk Cobble Roofs de 2 blocks de hauteur on un petit soucis de modélisation sur les coins inverser

This Sunday I did some Linocut and Copper engraving workshop in #Strasbourg at the Poissons Balistes atelier. It was refreshing to do this again. I made a Mosshorn from #Hytale and a very gloomy landscape.

Weirdly, today I feel like I can actually breathe? This is one of the most disgusting things I've seen, but look at the response! Slaughtered in the comments, stock prices plummeting... I always suspected it would swing back this way, I'm just so relieved. Burn it to the ground!

@NVIDIAGeForceUK You are the worst, this is an insult to the creative world

Announcing NVIDIA DLSS 5, an AI-powered breakthrough in visual fidelity for games, coming this fall. DLSS 5 infuses pixels with photorealistic lighting and materials, bridging the gap between rendering and reality.

@TheSiriusHeart 🤣

It's okay man. You can hate on my stuff. I don't care. But there's going to be a time where people just won't even try to reach out to you and try to invite you into this creative world. At least people are still trying to convince you. Imagine when people like me just don't even pay attention to you anymore? Then you're going to be really alone.

About Gen AI videos: creation only has value when there are humans at its core. I want to listen to your human music, see your human art, understand your human brain. Art is about humans speaking to humans. Gen AI videos are just hot trash, bad plagiarism of human brilliant ideas

@Hashi13914152 @_Hawkon Feel free to make a mod and make it look better 💘

@ThomasFrick @_Hawkon any consideration to change Hytale artsyle at all? or at least remove the soft-brushed?

@_Hawkon For now I made 4 Mosshorn and 3 swamp gloomy creatures!

@ThomasFrick How many prints did you make?

Rob is right to speak out - AAA industry is plagued by toxic ways to see humans as cogs in a machine. "No one is irreplaceable culture" is some bullshit myth managers repeat like a mantra, and this is exactly why great games fail and teams crash.

@Vanillaburp @KannoArt This feels super cozy ❤️

@KannoArt YASSSS 🫶 Working with my favorite tech artist tool guy dragon animator once-video-editor italian friend is the best indie dream

I'm so excited to announce I've been working with @Vanillaburp bringing her cute plants to a desktop idler game!

Emotes are coming to Hytale with this week's pre-release update, including easy mod support! Here's the mod structure to add emotes to the game: - Place your emote animation (.blockyanim) in Common\Characters\Animations\Emote\ - Place your emote icon (.png) in Common\Icons\Emotes\ - Create your emote config (.json) in Server\Emote\ (replace "MyEmoteName" with the name of your new emote) An emote config looks like the following: { "Animation": "Characters/Animations/Emote/MyEmoteName.blockyanim", "Name": "My Emote Name", "Icon": "Icons/Emotes/MyEmoteName.png", "IsLooping": true } With that done, you'll now be able to see your emotes in-game! In the future, we'll improve the emote wheel so you can customize it.

I feel bad for a lot of the AI bros on here. It's like, you can tell they so badly want to be filmmakers and want to be accepted by the film community as filmmakers, but because they wont be, they are forced to sort of band together in their "these people don't get it and are scared" cave. Look, go get rich using AI to grift fake books or text books or generate 10 second slop that gets millions of views. That's your best bet. Truly. No one is seeing your AI film and thinking of you as a filmmaker. At best, you're commissioning a painting and then calling yourself a painter and that's not only sad, but really boring. At least go get rich off this.

@oojx It's not because it's easier, free, or faster that it makes it OK and ethical.

@ThomasFrick its good for making first drafts, I am going to hire an artist to do Live2D/3D but for now I am testing with simple png animations, should I spend 40 more hours on the art and rigging or use what I have to make the AI streamer talk and respond to a twitch chat

Every pro-AI art post is like “Look at this thing I made, which is maybe not that great on its own but is evidence that lots of really amazing things are going to be made with this” but no one has ever seen any of the actual amazing things.

@butsch_79 This is a victim way of looking at it my friend, it implies we should just shut up and accept. The third option is "don't let people tell you what to do and fight bullshit". Artists will survive this, but scammers, not so sure 😉

@ThomasFrick Adapt or die. It's as easy as that.

@SlimsMcKenzie Sometimes yes, but only in a very tiny percent of cases. Most of these people pretending to be AI artists are just scammers. Don't underestimate human capacity for trying to find shortest way to succeed even if it involves lying or using other people's work

@ThomasFrick Humans are involved in AI. There is human intent and it increases the more complex the AI product.

@TheSiriusHeart Post online and pretend you are the new Kubrick,with a bunch of click baity takes like "Hollywood is dead". What is dead is decency lol

@TheSiriusHeart This is the most effortless way of creating. Prompt the same way you fart, throw a coin in the air and if you're lucky AI will make a pretty shot. Don't worry about composition, light, color, Chara design, mood, camera settings. It has it all figured out for you. Brain atrophy
