Indie-Dev Tries - IMAGE to 3D!

[@TheRoyalSkies]

Shout-Outs to the Texture guy for "blinging up" the helmet for this video! If you guys wanna try out the site yourself you can find a link to it in the description! Had a lot of fun testing it, and can't wait to see where it goes!

[@Dj-Mccullough]

The best part of this software in my opinion, is that you can run it on your local system, and not expose any data to cloud based Ai's.

[@cyonu5675]

bro is afraid of ais while using ai 😭

[@crispyghoul]

can you explain how to do that for a beginner?

[@vi6ddarkking]

A trick I use to create 3D Clothing for characters. Is to utilize the Blender Controlnet skeleton to get the proportions of my character. Then use said skeleton and an Image AI generator to get a 2D T pose image. Then feed it to an image to 3D AI. It's not perfect (yet). But it's good for prototyping.

[@esuriddick]

Could you share a little bit more on the steps you take for this? Sounds promising to get reference images.

[@Ludicrous_Speedway]

Holy crap it works on cars too. I spent yesterday taking 600+ pictures for my usual photogrammetry workflow and fed 1 picture this got 90% of the way there, in like 20 seconds. That's awesome. It’s not good enough for what I want to do yet, but it reminds me a lot of playing with the early versions of Disco Diffusion. It’s going to be really cool, really soon!

[@sayuriartsy5108]

Since your game was about space ships, I'm surprised you didn't show footage of yourself trying to plug in images of star ship designs.

[@kenhiguchi2144]

All solo deves are gonna extra boosted.

[@darrennew8211]

"Instant Meshes" is another great remeshing program for free. But this is really cool. I wonder how it does on props unrelated to medieval characters.

[@a123b123c123d123c123]

To be honest I think the quality female character wasn't that far from the quality of the male characters. I think you just have higher standards for female characters.

[@Marcel2278]

I will admit it gives out trash topology but it does give you a solid base mesh starting point and if you're good at retopo you can have a finished high quality character in a day instead of a week

[@penscrap]

I've learned from testing (certain) Mirko images, TRELLIS is surprisingly good at interoperating shapely backstory just from the contours of front leg muscles

[@Gryff_Art_3D]

Another day, another royal skies video, splendid! I dig this sort of “let’s find out” unscripted seeming video, keep it up man!

[@ShahanAkhter]

that's incredible... never knew about this.. thanks for getting straight to testing and showing what it can do

[@baraneo8195]

Yo, should test more like this. Enjoyed watching

[@pollyhedralcathedral]

I shall be a conceptualizing waaaaaay more now!!! Hell Yeah!!!

[@dreamisover9813]

obviously it's not perfect, but that's still very impressive!

[@wycoturmoil]

I like how you adapt this

[@zid_just_zid]

Great to see you playing around with this, ive been poking at a couple of avatars using trellis and cleaning up the topo afterwards. Would you consider giving Stable Projectorz a go and reporting some thoughts? It would be an on topic follow up to this vid as it is a free AI Gen texturing tool. I cant recall if ive ever commented on one of your vids but ill make sure of it now: Thank you for your series on UV mapping, rigging and weight painting in blender, they were very great when i was getting started and i always refer people to them if they ask about the topics.

[@The_SupremeSage]

“Specific” details

[@Zeithri]

That's pretty neato.

[@alhusseinali]

Oh that's huge !!!

[@newbossbro3180]

This is going to take so many ppl out of job.

[@weltlos]

Hopefully (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

[@gamepeon8038]

Games might go back to taking 2 years to make again like back in the PS2 days so we can see more niche games getting made with a closer level to AAA quality.

[@Radar_2576]

​@@weltloswhat you mean hopefully? Right now as a beginning 3D artist, you need to have at least +3 years of experience to have a chance at recruiting for a job.

[@newbossbro3180]

@@gamepeon8038 honestly I dont believe this myth of "taking too long to make games". Indies already pumping out games with far smaller team than to AAAs. AAAs should stop the habit of firing veterans out of job to save profit. Also predatory practices they do.

[@nyomanbandarayani6830]

Nah, this AI can't retopo nor UV mapping. As long as AI can't do that, there is no reason to use AI

[@johnramhos]

Well companies will just generate the 2d image via Midjourney or whatever and then use this. So AI for everything!

[@SpaceDorito]

Honestly I got nothing against AI as long as it doesn't steal my stuff without consent and doesn't take my job away in 10 years 😭

[@maicoxmauler2825]

5 years it is!

[@AlexaCWS]

One hour of cleanap? from what I saw it was 1 seconds of cleanup - Zremesh button. So the model is still at an early stage

[@NeoDragoon159]

This could be very useful for 3d printing.

[@h2diii]

👍👍👍

[@pranav_indoria]

Hey man, could you make a tutorial on installing it locally, that would be great...

[@SanyaBane]

😮

[@Radar_2576]

As a 3D artist - what a shitty time to be alive

[@SaishiYT]

Yep, my thoughts exactly!

[@ASchnacky]

a mathematician said that about the calculator

[@ivanm.612]

Give it a rig and try to animate the character. 😅

[@l.a.w.6494]

Here me out is bad if you draw a character design then have ai make it 3d, then do the retopo. Should your game get hate

[@wycoturmoil]

...it's still your intellectual property. You supplied the image you created.

[@Rheez3D]

Well its the only way you'd get an original design. Ai is a just another tool in your toolkit as an artist/game developer. Whatever works works right ?

[@hoangtran0901]

why dont you show the blender model in wireframe bro

[@TheRoyalSkies]

I got you bro - 1:37
