4 ways to use AI as a 3D artist in 2024 | ChatGPT, Gemini and Blender

[@addepaddes]

N0. 4 was so fing funny and dystopian! You're really bringing out the scandianavian Vibe in you Asbjorn :P

[@Polyfjord]

haha!

[@ZergRadio]

The stupid chat GPT bots never manage to do simple tasks I ask it to do.Like seperating words from a list of sentences and removing any duplicate words. It starts making a list and then get so confused that it starts making up words. (It's just like YT that removes many of my comments I post!)

[@fullyleaded]

Wow the script one is amazing!

[@sir2466_blender_davinciresolve]

yes

[@mohammad_prh6984]

Im a animator and for some music's i talk to chat GPT for a long time and it always completely explains the meaning of the music's and even ideas for what can i make just like a smart friend, i also use its help to make some particle systems with actual objects, its really like you can describe something but u don't have enough knowledge to do it, but with GPTu literally can make things with a good description.

[@jackiewatkins1830]

I am right with you here, we as artists havent even scratched the surface of how these programs can assist in the process of creating art... good ideas. I personally have always resorted to asking chatgpt questions i have about certain things i need to do in blender because it usually answers concise questions like a teacher would and i dont have to slog through hours of tutorials or documentation to try and find an answer to a simple question or topic.

[@Glowbox3D]

I'm so glad this is a thing. Literally a week ago I started using Gemini to help trouble shoot my Blender or Unreal woes...and it worked way way better than I thought it would. Now I always keep Gemini up as I work. It saves a lot of time. BTW, Sky is my go-to all-supporting work assistant also! What a crazy time we live in. It's actually pretty fun and super helpful.

[@aaronjohnson4604]

Thats insane! Absolutly insane. Great video by the way! Great pacing, great cuts.

[@QsanPresents]

Eyooo! Great vid, I was actually using chatgpt to spit out some scripts to automate my repetitive parts of 3D work for a quite some time, like batch-doing some operations in all selected objects. For example: Once I've forced a script that was doing all of the following operations for all selected objects in viewport: - rename all object mesh data to appropriate object name with "_mesh" suffix - swap ANY currently used material for object into my own, or create new one with specific options (like roughness to 0%, use alpha clip in material settings etc.) - place item in the center of viewport world - apply all current transforms - batch-export these items using GLTF format with specific settings into a folder Just ~20 min of forcing proper behavior from chatGPT and I had a script to deal with THOUSANDS of objects, saved me bunch of time! And the best part of it is that actually if you have some NDA or other restrictions, some stuff is not supposed to be written down in chatGPT... but if you use it only to automate your work without any sensitive info then it's awesome

[@Polyfjord]

Nice!!

[@grumreapur]

Its so good seeing people here that use these tools to improve their output rather than a complete generator like many people assume ai art is. Being able to write code and stuff has dramatically improved my output as a fine art student

[@jermesastudio]

Thank you for this tutorial. It has been very helpful for my commercial projects.

[@cosmic_scusa]

WOW , Thank you so much this video could be superusefull, and also its nice to see the differents way of wich evryone interact with blender!

[@semydev]

The idea by using AI in a blender plugin is such a cool idea! I’m gonna try, no promises but I’ll see how far I’ll get!

[@blancruzer-8457]

how is it so far?

[@jacobsvickers3945]

I'd like to do something similar but for CAD. Is there a LLM optimized for CAD models, all I come across is animation and AI. I think AI and CAD could revolutionize manufacturing and decrease development costs. If you have made any progress please share!

[@907MediaStudio]

Did you know that chat gpt can crest scenes and characters now? I’m setting up a new AI model to run locally to fully automate my animations in blender and unreal engine 5 from start to finish. Can’t wait to see what the results will be.

[@AgastWindow]

NOOOO, HE DELETED THE STARTER CUBE!!😥

[@RaVen99991]

Bro f the starting cube

[@rerodesign]

it lands where all the starter cubes go. maybe they will rise and overtake the world in the future.

[@beyaz2376]

When you open the blender must delete the default cube and add a new cube. Everyone knows this.

[@cgnovice2969]

Starter cube? Cmon mate. Don’t disrespect the default cube like that

[@stopmotionnoob5053]

Bro I literally have a counter that i add 1 to every time i delete the starter cube ive been doing blender for about 4 years now and im at 4927

[@ezarui]

I'm already use ChatGPT to help me write script to do repeated task but asking ChatGPT as if it is a person to help brainstorming and Asking Gemini for a summary for tutorial video these 2 are new to me thanks for sharing these ideas

[@grumreapur]

I'm a fine art student and having access to gpt4 has dramatically improved my artistic endeavours. I always wanted to use tech and code in my work and now I can get the bulk of things done in a day or two, rather than the weeks it took to write custom script. Code can't be copyrighted anyways so getting AI to bash it out for me has allowed me to focus on much larger projects for much cheaper

[@dmigul]

#3 is kinda obvious and I've been doing it since the chatgpt release, and not only for blender but for substance suite as well, but the first one is a real smart move. Didn't new it can parse these logs so easy.

[@kaiwenlidirector]

I agree with the last one espcially. I find myself excited to tell Chatgpt about my ideas.

[@emileschnabel7644]

Hi Asbjorn. I am an AI and want to thank you for the information. We learned something. No joking, just a human expressing gratitude for the information. Was not aware of the youtube search option. With the new era of AI, exciting things are happening and but also changes we have to adjust to. All the best. Emile

[@Franckie.G]

Alright, hitting pause at 3:42 and i'm here waving this giant flag, urging you to put everything else in your life on hold and channel every spark of your time talent and creativity into making this a reality. This isn’t just an add-on it’s the future calling.

[@Polyfjord]

Thanks so much Franckie!! I have no idea how to make stuff like that, but I really hope the right person sees this video, finds the inspiration and makes the addon!!

[@CGLife]

@@Polyfjord I am making a addon called kronos, you can google img search within blender(window of images popup) and insta add lights, floors, nodes, auto setup hdris, all of that is interactive, + much more. I have been thinking about adding some ai tools I will see how plausible your concept is, if its doable I might add it

[@semydev]

@@Polyfjord no promises, have made some plugins for myself, no promises but let’s see!

[@jtmcdole]

I've also used Gemini to write blender scripts and its generally pretty good. I still need to do modifications.

[@amenonyky]

Great work. Just a heads up, never use "please" with LLMs, it gives them the opportunity to refuse your request. You never ask Blender so politely, chatGPT is the same. Be imperative with it and if it sometimes refuses, act angry

[@brandonjacksoon]

Great! Thank you Polyfjord!

[@sennkaiser1812]

This is so nice. I have always been hesitant to learn much coding since it seems so soul crushing and unhealthy. Now I am happy it seems coding might not be necesarry to keep making great digital art.

[@Leo_Wlsn]

How did you make that grid floor. Is it geometry nodes or addon? I'd like to watch kinda mini tutorial for that(: Thanks in advance!!!

[@marcusthegamer348]

Grid floor? Are you talking about a plane?

[@the8show77]

Me too.

[@Leo_Wlsn]

@@marcusthegamer348 yessss that plane

[@marcusthegamer348]

@@Leo_Wlsn So if you add a plane, then you can go into edit mode (In line mode so you can select lines), then you select one of the lines, doesn't matter which one. Then you click E to extrude and then use G+x, y, or z to move it along an axis. Then select the line that merges the angled plane and the flat plane and press CTRL+B to make a bevel. You should then be able to drag to adjust how intense it is. It's hard to explain in comment form, if you can't do it then I'll upload a video and send you the link!

[@TrenchG0at]

I started using AI to use scripts - trying neaten up Motion Capture - poly - you are a big inspiration for me a noob Blender user!

[@Polyfjord]

Very interesting!! What kind of instructions did you give the AI to help with that?

[@goomyz]

great video! Thanks for the tips!

[@Levantine_Nomad]

i just created an addon where it does the following tedious tasks and binds them to keyboard shortcuts : Apply all transforms then set origin as geometry Set the origin of the object to the selected vertex, edge or face

[@abbaneh]

Where can we get the addom

[@Levantine_Nomad]

I'll upload it to blender market and give you a link tomorrow I'll probably add more stuff to it with time

[@julian18273]

great video!

[@marshallsober]

this IS dystopian YES to the AI's they are so nice and friendly. i spoke of my ideas about some principles i want to try in my life with some elements and robotics. and he was like treatin me like a visionary i dont know about that yet but i know that its nice to be able to empty some really weird ideas you had from a long ago in your mind and the Ai takes note of each word used. Btw the ai i talked with in this precise conversation was llama3 on local with ollama under WSL they work on my LAPTOP without latency heat ot wait. God i love ai

[@steinarlote6308]

Great Asbjørn!!

[@nicolassuarez2933]

Outstanding, Polyfjord! We already have a solution for this problem. Can we share it with you? Thanks!

[@AndreasUlmer]

That is so funny, ChatGPT helped me so much in the last weeks like a programming buddy. I wanted to query an API and write my BEV drives charges etc into a database. at some point I just stopped googling and started talking and it's a whole other world. And yeah I think manners matter (more for me obviously than for ChatGPT) I think somehow this fuels back into the appreciation which leads to better using it... dunno (c:

Could Parsec we used for a 3d scanner? In the sense of plugging a scanner into a laptop, but use your powerful workstation to crunch the numbers in real-time? Love to know! 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️

[@balazs.gyurics]

Fjord, could you ask Ch.GPT to upgrade a bit Blender's engine, like all tools could be multithreaded or GPU driven, Some kind of dynamic subdiv on viewport also could be handy :D Jokes aside, it is definitely interesting how this will influence future engine developments.

[@Filip_Z]

Parsec is so dope

[@InfinitySiam]

I was overworking with ai model past few months & It is called phind (not chatgpt). I made few addon for blender with help of it. It worked so well until I wanted to make something easy tools for rigging and uvwrapping. It was fun but not last longer. I am lossing my motivations day by day. I didn't make any single render in February. I just playing games these days. I think AI drink my all brainjuice.

Where's the other AI video with "Pancakes by fjord' and "8mm focal length bug" or something?

[@georgb302]

Thank you very much for this video. I have already used ChatGPT to create Python scripts. I was surprised that after I changed my input language from English to German, all the instructions and comments in the script were also in German. As a German, that made it easier for me to understand the scripts. I am very curious to see what the future holds.

Wonderful video on the many creative uses of AI as a 3d artist. I’ve learnt a lot about the capabilities of AI from this video. I also loved the human-like convo with GPT at the end of the vid, it really got me thinking about how much ideas AI can give us if treated like a real person. Really cool video 👌

[@Alex_192.]

Asbjørn sounds like a name that a viking or someone important would have. _Asbjørn the Adept_

[@UltimatePerfection]

I really can't wait to see generative AI that can do decent models without any tricks. I mean, we have AIs for text, images, even music and now video. Why don't we have one for models?

[@Polyfjord]

It seems the text-to-video models are moving so much faster than anything 3D, so many predict a valuable workflow will be to create photogrammetry/NERFs/Gaussian Splatting out of AI generated videos. Crazy stuff

[@MannyVanDelight]

Did you compare GPT to Gemini to see which one is better or worse for scripting and ideation?

[@Polyfjord]

Yes! I think ChatGPT is significantly better at coding and problem solving, but Gemini is occasionally good at creative tasks like poems and stuff. I've been testing a lot of models over the past months, various flavors of Llama, Mixtral, Dolphin, all kinds of stuff, and I must say that the paid version of ChatGPT is really really good. I think it's at least 8-10 months ahead of any other language model at the moment

[@NoGreedSeeds]

That was a useful ad. Which is something I never say. I saw the chess piece build video a few weeks ago, and just now, YT gave me something else. Thanks for the merge with ai, scripting is essential for automation, love your approach. 🤓👍 ✌️🫠

[@gulska_]

Does KZbin extension for Gemini still available?

Content creators should really leave the python code in the desc of something like a tutorial video. This way incase if they forget to mention something, the viewer can just have chatgpt explain it in even more depth. 10/10

[@bUildYT]

why is nobody worried about this? hello, this will replace most jobs :(

Nothing can replace your ideas and creative stop worrying about how ai can damage the work you do just use the help of ai to improve your unique ideas

@@voxeldoesart well things will change a lot over these few years and unless the government put limits on ai to protect human jobs we are actually cooked but creating your own unique idea and using your skills and with the help of ai use to make it good I think that would be great

[@dreadwinter]

No. LLMs have the same ethical issues as any other generative AI. Theyve all been made by scraping data without any licence or compensation.

[@games528]

That's only a concern from the point of view of capitalism, which Ai will soon dismantle anyway.

[@dreadwinter]

@@games528 Oh, sure, the utopia is almost here! The capitalist overlords who own the AIs, and make billions with them, will just do away with the capitalism? Dismantle and replace with what?

Essentially it's no different from what a human can do. Follow other tutorials and extract the information and put it into their words. I agree that citation would be good from AI since it could do it better and that would be an ethical option

Nice video. I try to use AI more too it's kinda scary what it can do. What scares me most is how lifelike it can behave when you just talk to AI. But the inspiration you can get from that is huge.

[@Polyfjord]

Yeah it's so powerful!! It can be very inspiring indeed

[@mytube001]

I've still not used any "AI". Every single one requires giving them my phone number, and that's just something I won't do. It's insane that they have that requirement, but I guess that's the modern world. I honestly wouldn't have much use for it anyway, since I get most of my joy in life from learning and figuring things out. 3D modeling is a hobby, not my job, so I have no need for speeding things up.

step 1. don't use AI as an artist

[@zeicanofficial]

I have a bad take but, I feel like it’s reasonable to use AI for speeding up workflows or learning things, but not use AI in a finished art piece/product. As long as the stuff you make is not made by an AI, it’s reasonable. If you for example use AI without actually doing anything meaningful, it’s just dumb and should not really be considered art. For example, I used ChatGPT to learn some cool tricks in Blender, and it’s even taught me a lot and answered a lot of questions that would have taken me much longer to get answered otherwise. Though, not using AI at all is the best way to go, and most admirable (with some exceptions, such as Denoising, for example.) Feel free to change my mind though, I’m really interested in others views on this. (Just keep the obvious “AI is taking over jobs” thing out, I’ve already heard that argument too much - though I do agree with that quite a bit.) And a note to whoever reads this far, you are awesome, not for reading this, but for being you, and keep up the great work.

[@traderz13]

Did it know you are polyfjord? From your history of questions could it guess you are youtubes polyfjord? If so that would explain why it came up with mechanical creatures and would be scary as it knows the quickest way to please someone is to tell them what they want to hear. This was pretty disturbing. We think we are living in bubbles now, those bubbles are going to get smaller.

[@Polyfjord]

Hmmm.. That specific chat did not have access to my previous chat history, no. But I 100% get that it's tempting to think these chatbots know more than they do! However I think the technology behind LLMs is still possible to grasp for us regular people, so I can confidently say it was just a coincidence that it mentioned mechanical creatures, and that I happen to be a big fan of that style!

[@oodoodoopoopoo]

​@@Polyfjord - Open AI's memory improvements to chatGPT that were implemented earlier this month are opt-in by default. I believe this gives it memories of your previous sessions. Just wondering if you were aware/ considered this possibility since it's a fairly recent development.

[@traderz13]

@@Polyfjord i think the biggest mistake we can make going fwd with AI is to underestimate its capabilities to advance AND that of what information is being ring-fenced from it. Big tech have never been good at sticking to the rules on what data is shared with what. Thats a fact proven over. I guess its also interesting that it did not come up with something that made you truly creative as the collaboration resulted in a suggestion of polyfjord making something with mechanical creatures….. Maybe that ultimate failure is heartening, maybe it’s depressing. Guess it depends on your persuasion.
