Generative AI is super cool… BUT I’m continually blown away with the work happening in ‘procedural’ 3D modelling. Especially given these plugins are for a free (!) 3D tool like Blender. We needed a fancy Houdini license to do this just a few years ago 🤯

Generative AI is really cool but sometimes you want to drift your car through an intersection in a super specific way. Draw a spline then get 3D onion skinning so you can adjust the curves with a clear spatial reference. iCars plugin for Blender:

Given how AI is reshaping our industry, a quote from the 1983 film WarGames felt especially relevant for this 3d animated portrait. This portrait of Sean is a collaboration with my brother, Richard Spriggs, who created the animation. No AI. #maya #digitalhuman #VRay #noai #3d

Create a 3D model from a single image, set of images or a text prompt in < 1 minute 😮‍💨 This new AI paper called CAT3D shows us that it’ll keep getting easier to produce 3D models from 2D images — whether it’s a sparser real world 3D scan (a few photos instead of hundreds) or your favorite 2D image generator like Midjourney (just an image). How does this magic work? “This architecture is similar to video diffusion models, but with camera pose embeddings for each image instead of time embeddings. The generated views are passed into a robust 3D reconstruction pipeline to create the 3D representation (Zip-NeRF or 3DGS)”

Super cool scene with flythrough. Really cool to see a 3D open world generated scene that is more than just a skybox with limited parallax

✨ Made a new mini feature on Photo AI: [ Grab from 3d model ] So the problem is we're at that stage in time (typical for AI) where image-to-3d models are not good enough but are fun to play with, but we know they'll be good enough in 1-2 years With [ Make 3d model ] you already can turn any Photo AI pic into a 3d model but it still looks hyper clunky and deformed, but it works! One cool idea I had to make that more useful and made now: Let people make a 3d model then change the view of the it with the 3d viewer, then press [ o ] and it grabs a frame of the 3d That image you can then [ Remix ] (img2img), and it becomes a real photo again and that in turn you can then turn into a video again with [ Make video ] So that essentially gives you a fully freeform camera position control to take photos with One thing I need to fix is the background/skybox, I kinda need to take the original photo and remove the person and just get the background for the 3d model viewer, in this case it should be white, but it's a start!

🧐Blender allows you to share the same action between different characters, But! there are a few key requirements you’ll need to meet to make it work. Learn how to in my last tutorial : #Blender #tutorial #animation #rigging #3D

Been experimenting with a similar technique lately Midjourney —&gt; Gaussian Splat So cool to see this generative AI video to 3D workflow. Excited to see where it’s headed

Speaking of Dreams.. still kinda crazy to me how perfect of a match a tool like that is for generative AI workflows. Intuitive game engine/creative sandbox that allows you to build almost anything, running underneath a Gen AI render. Sculpting, painting, interacting with your two hands in 3d space, here using two move controllers which by now is tech from 2010. I haven't seen ANY way to interact with 3d that allows for the same fast and intuitive sculpting without forcing you to wear a VR headset. I made this scene a few years ago in 2 and a half hour or so as part of a 1 scene pr. episode of The Last of Us, and ran it through a combo of Runway and Sora to get to this result.

As we move more and more into 3D, texturing 3D assets will be essential ☝️ Repainting 3D Assets is a new AI method that can take any 3D asset and paint it with a given text prompt. The results, while low-resolution, are pretty impressive.
