Is AI Helping Or Killing 3D Artists

[@Tertion]

AI-assisted retopology PLEASE.

[@froctavio]

As an Artist working on the VFX industry in North America, I think the whole AI craze does have a great advantage for many artists and studios, but will also hinder and hurt many artists opportunities in the long run too. Over the past 10 years I have witness the reduction of artists needed per departments in order to complete a show/movie, even the disappearance of entry level positions altogether at some big studios. This on itself makes it much harder for many artists to get the jobs doing the type of work they would like to do. As seen with many other trends from the past, I expect the AI craze to push artists to try to keep up with unrealistic deadlines, because clients think everything can be done now much faster due to AI, with less people and for cheaper too. Just like I have experienced first hand with a lot of work being outsource to other countries, where we have to ingest the work and do fixes to make sure everything works down the pipeline. I expect with AI the duty of many artists would shift to prepare and clean up AI generated work, something that might not be of the interest for many artists who wish they could do the actual work creation.

[@ShahinGhasemnejad-vx9in]

My only advice is to expand your skillset,if you're only good at one thing AI will replace you easily,but if you have strong knowledge of many different fields you can use AI to connect the dots and create something that AI couldn't all by itself AI will never be able to make a AAA game all by itself,but if you understand character design, environment,sound design,game design etc... You can make something magnificent in months that took 500 people to make in years

It also can’t be copywrited which will cause huge problems in monetising it for companies down the road

unless you are talking about AI in artwork then yeah! but did you forgot you can insert an artist artstle and have them make an Ai On it? or did you think AI in 3d world is the same garbage as the artwork AI???

If you can copyrighted stuff made with Photoshop, you can copyright AI. Both are tools.

[@Saloni27625]

This year i am about to learn 3d, but after watching video like this, I am scared😢 Should I learn this or should do something else 😔 The thing is, I were very excited to learn 3d because it's really fascinate me but now i am in dilemma 😢 Please advise me, what should I do, Is learning 3d worth now?

[@Learninpublic_]

I am also suffering with same question, should I continue learning 3d animation or drop it, I just started.... I am also pursuing BCA graduation degree in which we learn coding stuff and mujhe dar lg rha ab 😢 because all those stuff are continuously replacing by Ai...

[@just-jiu]

As an indie game dev I must say that AI is helping me a lot in generating concept art and game assets. The things I have minimal skills to do, nor the time, nor the resources to pay a proper designers. I'm a enterprise software developer not an artist so for me it's either use the AI or not make a game at all.

[@rothauspils123]

AI is still in its infancy. That's why it seems like it will be just another tool. But ai will advance to completely replace everyone.

[@blenderblender792]

But I'll be long dead by the time AI will replace everyone. I mean... everyone! Ah! It's 12:00 my AI should have my lunch ready by now.

[@fingfufar9878]

Replacing everyone isn't there bad to honest, we'll just do nothing and chill, and the governments having to build a new economy 🤷‍♂️

[@tufab3494]

No bro, there are stuff that only sentient beings can do.

[@JesseJuup]

@@tufab3494you are implying AI will not be sentient?

[@tufab3494]

@@JesseJuup i am sure AI will not be sentient with the current hardware we have. Our brain is way more potent than basically any machine and even supercomputers we have out there, all this to acomodate an average human mind. If they are going to become sentient one day, it will only be a problem when the hardware required for that mind to exist becomes small and accessible enough. For now they're nothing more than trained dogs, with the difference that a dog has an independent mind and the AI doesn't

[@TheBacktohell]

It’s killing

[@brjk9798]

I give 2 year in game art but now I regret about why I choose this paath I wasted my time ( ai gonna replace and decrease artist jobs , and production cost and salary )

[@just_for_funarts9905]

Don't regret. AI wins if we all give up. It would not be popular if artists really stood their grounds against it. Can you imagine if all artists joined and said no it AI.

[@Dragon21Studios]

i totally agree with you on this. I just got my degree in computer animation and Im not fond of ai stealing artists artwork, taking over an artist job, etc. Yes, it is a tool but its a tool that can learn on its own which makes it more difficult to handle.

[@just_for_funarts9905]

What would be needed, would be that artists that understand the danger of AI and knows that it will kill most creative jobs in the future, need to start grouping.

[@chair3299]

That's a bit much, stop worrying AI is not that advanced enough. It is really good in simple geometry but not in complex shapes. AI will also give power to the indie scene and you could probably use it to create your own game.

[@just_for_funarts9905]

@@chair3299 I am sorry, but not going to use generative AI. If you have not followed, many artist has already lost their job in Japan because of AI, manga artist mainly. Have you seen how fast its growing. Just this week a well known studio , making the game "The finals" admitted to have used AI for all the voices in its game. So I am not taking it lightly at all.

[@salvadorsura9554]

Do you have any idea how much time it takes to animate 3 SECONDS of animation? I'd love for AI to do the inbetweening correctly. It would save me so much time and let me storyboard a lot more. And more importantly, pump out a lot more animation than I currently do

[@JaXuun]

the disruption will start in 3-4 years. i am 100 % sure.

[@terriermonisgod]

yeah right now many are scared of ai, but we will adapt to it and it will be obvious what is low effort ai and what is not

[@DejiDigital]

Cascadaur is a real game changer.

[@GL_CC]

Mootion looks promising for 3D creators like me who don’t want to key framing those things, and text maybe the easiest method to describe what I need. I will definitely give it a try there, thanks!

[@descendinguniverse666]

I think with AI tools the general quality level of hobbyists production should increse, whereas pros will always have their job. And those who are afraid Ai will kill their creativity have nothing to lose😄It`s possible that the amount of people needed for the conventional project will be reduced, but there have to be other opportunities created inevitably. I`m all for AI tools that will accelerate the boring parts of workflow. Especially with character animation. Something like Cascadeur could be inside newer releases of Blender.

[@jazen_gamic]

So what career that AI cant replace?

[@antoniomendoza2682]

Dreamworks ceo said some days ago that IA was going to cut around 90% of people needed to make a film. That may means that there will be tons of indie productions but only few will success. Also big companies will continue amassing fortunes. That what is happening with game industry (google android, apple store, valve steam, epic) get the big cut because there are thousands of little unsuccessful games published every month. Unity and modern 3d softwaere made super easy to create games and that was good for the industry but only few see the real money. Definitely it will kill traditional jobs as 3D technology killed 2D animation for many years. I am sure it will be even worse . That does not mean that game or animation industry are going to suffer at all.

[@antoniomendoza2682]

Answering to myself. The industry may suffer when nobody wants to work in it, except, directors (art, production...).

[@Vian_B11]

Idk why they always targeting the artistic fields with AI, like people do art out of passion so why take that away? AI should focus on the mundane jobs nobody wanna work like retail so they can pursue their passion, but not this, no they wanna strip us of the craftsmanship as the industrial revolution did and reduce us to soulless assembly workers that can't take pride over their creation

[@kyneticist]

This is some truly impressive ignorance, particularly given what we've seen of AI over the past few months, the many predictions made prior to ChatGPT that assured everyone that the kinds of things that AI is doing now would take decades, perhaps not even being achievable this century, and what has been achieved by simply stacking on greater parameter counts and more powerful hardware. We're only just beginning to see the start of attempts at more efficient AI and even these early, primitive stages are amazing. Hell, actual humanoid robots are in the works, and here you are declaring that AI won't replace 3D artists like it is with 2D. Entire professions will be automated over the next few years.

The vast majority of humans were never creative. The top 1% of Artists can keep doing what they're doing, but the other 99% whose only skill is drawing fanart will be replaced.
