It amuses me when trends fold in on themselves. Exemplifying people using machine learning to come up with organic man-made assets to "save time". Riiight... So creative. :)
AI is only for quick results and for scaling. When it's based on something real and authentic - this means you need to own what it is iterating upon. 99% of the content we see online - people create it upon intellectual property they don't own (breaking bad characters rendered in simpson style, etc.). How can people make money off of that? It seems like most of the web uses it for funny memes.
@@eladbari I pointed out that the backlash toward the pentagram project was massive. Said that there was plenty of valid criticism from tons of industry heavy hitters on the studio's IG post. Then, in a follow up comment, I shared the popular and obvious critique that the initiative they worked on included job creation and environmental protection goals, which the process of their project alone contradicts. Leaving out my comments on the images themselves to see if I'm allowed to be here now.
@@Froggy.D Good job expressing that. You know what I think? I think that bottom line, as time goes by, you'll have 2 groups. Pro-AI [or just people that don't care, which is Pro as well], and Anti-AI. And the ones against AI are mostly artists. People that actually can spot where something feels fake, synthetic. But, since AI is "good and convincing enough" for 85% of the population - everyone and their grandma would ditch any values and hop on that wagon to "not be left behind". And so it will become legit to use AI fully. There are not enough people who care of understand the implications that will lead us into a synthetic living, as consuming generated art isn't that far form eating burgers all day. Most people can't tell what they're watching, and the economic forces will justify it. In the last decade we notice tech lords dropping new tech and people blindly adopting it, no matter if it ruins humanity or society. Look at tinder. How it synthesized the mating process, ruling it is now considered 'creepy' to approach IRL. It's pretty insane how deterministic this technology is. It just runs over any opposing or questioning.
We can stop all the hand-wringing now. If a studio and legendary designer like Paula endorses and uses Midjourney and GenAI to accelerate and elevate her design process, the debate is over.
So the leagues of animators, illustrators, and designers, who are also legendary in their own respect, that have come out in bulk to critique the process and results don't matter?

I’m glad I moved to Houdini
lmao
Good ep. Thx for your work in compiling this.
Where can one submit his reel, to have a shot at being featured? Thanks :)
Congrats Szymon!
Any info on the level and cost of the upcoming Blender course? I'm potentially maybe very interested, perhaps.
might have to sign up for the Rive class. The app looks incredible!
Story 2 being Prime Example Number 5,362 of "Shit 'AI' Can't Do". Story 3 being Number 5,363.
Clients asking for resolution changes after locking. That's a good one. Sure hope said client is being billed for it, big time
Always charge extra for rendering as if it is your day/ hour rate. Cause if you're rendering their project you can't render another.
Runway's Aspect Innovation should be an After Effects feature long time ago.
I don't think the pace is picking up at all tbh
The fart man 😂 thank you! Can we have some fun again?!? 🎉
Make Farts Great Again!

You deleted that pentagram comment?
Multiple times. I think I was pretty tame and articulate. There’s a lot to be critical of and unpack about that project. Not here I guess 🤷♂️
@@Froggy.D@9:59 "let us know your thoughts in the comments" I guess we can't do that now?
@@Froggy.Dwhat did that pantogram comment say?

Anyone else think the star trek octane renders looked kinda bad..?
c4d is the overpriced pile of crap. 120$/month comapre to houdini 269$/year. its just soooo old in terms of workflows. and its just sooo buggy
c4d is a crap
I wonder how long until you won’t have to justify using AI tools.
6 months
The second their makers license their training data.
@@Anttimationcan you imagine that? Ai tools respectfully paying for the data they steal?

@ all good my man. I’m a two decade plus animator myself. About to be displaced. lol.
