So it appears to be #PortfolioDay & I'm proud to have a collection of work large enough that I can show off now. As a 3D artist & environment designer going into the industry soon I'm quite proud of myself for the progress I've made in my skillset over the last few months.

The Kyzerian Leviathan Another piece featured in my book TANKHEAD Mechanical Encyclopedia, shipping out this week! I really can't wait for you all to finally get the book in your hands. Hope you all dig it! #tankheadmecha #artbook

@lilSkeezors @Hardporecorn69 @Sturgeons_Law A subtle part. It shows that there are anti-asteroid batteries but the asteroid makes it to the solar system past them without detection. Combined with it being suggested to have travelled half a galaxy unguided, it's heavily implied that the Federation did it to justify the war.

Starship Troopers is framed as a propaganda film in the world in which it transpires, incorporating elements meant to show how seductive a fascistic stratocracy can be on the surface. Some think the seductive elements undermine the criticism because they were manipulated by them.

a cool scribbly birb!

@MAXHALO369 @Wario64 The intention is more that game pass revenue won't pay for the funding of a game like this. It makes more sense when you know Larian has repeatedly exhausted its funds building these huge games. They need the revenue full price brings just to cover their responsibilities first.

@Wario64 I don't disagree that it's a fair price to pay but I can't help but feel like the wording is throwing shade. There's plenty of big games on gamepass.

Baldur's Gate 3 'Isn't Going to be on Game Pass', Insists Larian Boss "We made a big game, so I think there's a fair price to be paid for that, and I think that that is okay. We don't charge you any micro-transactions on top of it, so you get what you pay for. Upfront it's a big meaty game. So I think that should be able to exist as it is. This is what allows us to continue making other games," Vincke says. ign.com/articles/baldu…

@baraGodzilla There is no way ☠️

@DevSpacePrez Kojima did also need to be reined in a lot during the development of the franchise. There's some insightful behind the scenes interviews and videos with the other devs talking about it as well as an amusing kind of weariness for whenever Kojima would come to them with an idea hah

@zna51708742 @HazardON6 @DreMeMoTo MGS2 and Terminator 2, plus some others. The most recent Mad Max for example. I appreciate those subversions, especially in the case of MGS2 where it was a striking change for younger men to go from the expected grizzled, ultra masculine Snake to a more effeminate protagonist.

@HazardON6 @DreMeMoTo wasnt there a whole thing when this happened with like metal gear solid 2 or something

@charles_sainty @KwazeKwaze @Rahll @msquared_art Somewhat true. AI art does not use reference or comprehend anything of its process nor does it digest visual imagery the way a human does. AI art replicates and remixes things in its dataset. Artists have shown how AI models will recreate their work inside of images or completely

I think it's pretty hard to say that a certain source image is being "used in" a given generated image. It wouldn't be "used" in any conventional sense of art being used, in which the image created by a separate artist is directly represented in one recognizable way or another. It's more like being referenced, which is historically and ethically distinct from being used. It's not "in" the generated results in any recognizable sense either. Copying existing works isn't what AI like Stable Diffusion or Midjourney are trained to do. They generate new configurations of pixels based on associations with other pixel structures and text. These terms and concepts are all different.

Martin decided to take his AI painting video down, so for archival purposes, here it is.

@charles_sainty @KwazeKwaze @Rahll @msquared_art Ideally yes, credit at the least though the main point of contention is their use in work that earns money. As AI art and models are used in for profit works then the artists who had work used for the training data would be entitled to compensation.

@KwazeKwaze @Rahll @msquared_art By “unpaid labor” I assume u mean the images uploaded to public spaces for sharing and promoting work. How does using publicly available images to train fit the implications of the term “unpaid labor”? Should artists be paid when their work is shown on a slide in an art class?

@FaeSpaceCritter I really enjoy the vast diversity of forms that Kill Six Billion Demons employs. I feel it's a good baseline for funky forms.

@tomaroosky @GeorgeCrudo The issue you have which will be the same with this tool is that it's a subjective process. I know it seems mechanically straight forward but there's a lot of intent and direction needed in how/why things are unwrapped/retop'd the way they are that automation cannot manage.

@GeorgeCrudo Yeah, but why isn't anyone training AI to automatically UV unwrap and retopo models? Is anyone doing that!?!?That would be yuuuuuuuuuuge.

once this goes public i hope you're all ready to learn about how 3D art works from people who have no idea how 3D art work.
