i generated some 2d sprites but i honestly feel like they cant be used for my game because they just look like someone elses work! but what they are great for is inspiration and concept for me to design my own. great way to get out of a creative slump1 thanks for the video, hope you go far here and good luck with your uni course.

[@michaelvicente5365]

well because they are, it's trained on artists who never agreed of their work to be used. It's also soulless as fuck. At least I'm glad he talks about the fact that this could be a tool to spark imagination, brainstorm, or even train your own work. This is also the way I think about this tool.

[@JayRKID]

@@michaelvicente5365 yeah exactly, it was fun to use but I honestly felt its best to get more from my own work, like if I draw 10 enemy types I can use it to mash them up so that I get more for free, I can't see me ever using this with other people's art, one thing I did try is creating a game cover like a movie poster, that was great it came up with some really good compositions that I can use as inspiration for my game cover

[@IridescentKySoul]

@@JayRKID yes its called Dreambooth, it even works with 3 to 5 samples. I would recommend much more samples though because generally dreambooth is used to train Objects (People, unusual shapes, etc.) Instead of Styles. Depending on how tech savvy you are, using it could seem a little bit complicated. But there are many tutorials now on how to get started with it. Alternatively you can use Stable Diffusions Image to Text feature, which basicly takes an input image, and tells you the prompt the Model thinks, has been used to generate it. Since you are giving it your own Image , it will come up with a prompt you can use to generate images similar to it. If your Artstyle is unique enough, you might even find the name of an Artist with modifications to the style in the prompt. If your Artstyle is not distinguishable enough from the artists, it will most likely just give you a generic description.

[@j3htro203]

This just solved my biggest problem with solo game developing. I'm not completely unable to create animation and art, but I was always forced to give up or massively reduce expactations on a lot of project after I had the code, the music and everything but I had to slave and try to draw something good looking for weeks with no success. This won't solve it 100% but it will solve it at least 80%, now if you only work with low bit artwork I dont think it's that hard to edit moves to already existing pixelart. I'm glad to see this working and kinda understand the frustrated artists.

I would be very carefully with 'AI generated' images, cause often 'AI' copies from human made (copyrighted) images.

I feel like this is unsatisfying unless you could have an ai program where you input YOUR own work and have it spit out more of it. Otherwise, it’s not really creating stuff I created myself or expanding upon my own stuff.

I take it you haven't made or even seen a real sprite sheet before? I can assure you that them generations are no good for animating a 2D sprite. Although, I can't deny that this is good for generating inspiration and could use some of it as background and static assets.

[@ladymecha8718]

AI diffusion is only good as its database; in other words it’s reference. For non-professionals, it is good enough, but for professionals there is required to refine it, if not more, before use. At worse it is pulling out pictures that are there to fill the task, based on its reference. At best, it’s inspiration and/or time saver in the brain storming stage of creativity. However, I wouldn’t call it by itself original works by themselves, as they are quite derivative.

[@dogusdogukansezer1724]

Okay.. You got the sprites. So how to make these sprites animations? Can you make a video about this?

[@Chillerll]

Well, you can't. You can try to tell the ai to make animations but they will almost guaranteed not look similar enough to make smooth looking animations. At least for now. This is only useful for playing around or creating some static assets.

Hello, from the Sub-100 Club! I am very interested in seeing how you plan on using these AI-Generated Assets in the future. My question is one of refinement. At [07:13] you noted that touch up were required to truly get a proper representation of what you'd want. However, I ask if the models are distinct enough that you can design four-way isometric views for each instance? If I plan on using the tool in the future, I don't want to be in a situation where I have to keep AI generating the same sample for all the tools necessary for a Game Jam. Thank you!

AI remixes content. If the content is copyrighted and artists win the class action lawsuit against AI art piracy, a remixed content could breach copyright. The best is to take ideas from AI generated content, but make your own art yourself. If AI companies win, judges would be legalizing content piracy using AI. Unlike a ZIP file that encodes content inside a file, AI encodes the content inside neural network coefficients.
