Revisited an old ogre concept as a pre-production visualization exercise. Built key images in Photoshop, brought them into motion in Firefly Boards, added facial animation from my own performance. A great way to see ideas move earlier and better inform what comes next.

Its so disappointing that you're all in on this genAI shit now. Major loss for the culture, I hope adobe's money was worth it.

To each our own RJ. I’m “in on this” just like I’m also into sculpting, cinematography, photography, study of textures. I use it as a tool on top of what I do. I know we won’t see eye to eye on this but I just wanted to say my piece.

@arvalis Are you not embarrassed to see that like ratio? Would certainly make me rethink my choices

@arvalis If I worried too much about what people think I might actually be. But to tell you the truth, I’m perfectly fine :)

one of these days you’ll realize the years of life you wasted on this tacky and tasteless bullshit

I’m 200% confident I won’t look back with any sense of regret. I never do, I approach this like everything else I’ve done: with confidence. Unless you’re some kind of seer who can see my future and speak with that level of certainty about me? Do you have future-vision powers? 🫣

you’re just a predictable hack and your ilk tends to follow the same path, and if you’re lucky you get to have a moment of realization and that’s when you ultimately get to benefit and learn from the very normal human emotion of regret

The creature above on this post is more of an ogre-like fantasy creature. Maybe when I create a troll video next time, feel free to keep writing your thoughts there, as it’ll be made in your honor :)

pretty bad

Blunt but honest. I like that.

You're better than silicon slop.

Congratulations, it just looks like dogshit.

looks like shit

I seen hobby animators make more belivable motion in Blender.

This looks really bad and if you can't see that, then I'm very concerned for you.

What a bummer :(

what useful information can you get out of these stiff, uncanny movements? there's no information in here that'd help with posing, rigging, even modeling bc its just standing around and twitching. id send you back to draw a proper ref sheet instead if wasting man-hours on this.

First off, in 3D art, what are the alternatives? A turntable render of the critter in a T-pose? As mentioned, this is a pre-production workflow…showing how an existing design can be placed into context, like visualizing how it might read in a specific environment.

that already has a lot more use in production than this. this has no more value than a 2D preprod concept art and it could also be deceptive bc ai cant be trusted with anatomy and proper animation, let alone production lvl consistency. pls just take the adobe money a go.

Cool, now you can master something on the same level as shrimp jesus, facebook boomers will be pleased with this downgrade from 3d to genAI slop

waiting for the day when AI video isn't immediately recognizable as AI so it might, theoretically, be moderately useful for actual production. Alas, not this day.

slop

Garbage

It genuinely sucks. You can bullshit all you want it's just generic ai slop.

Why does this look so off?

I think the most frustrating thing about AI discourse is how pretentious those vehemently in support of the technology tend to come off, especially as it still produces questionable results.

And this is why you are *formally* at valve.

What precisely did you learn from this?

Ewwwwwwwww

looks like shit

This seems like a waste of time. This feels like circling around the solution when you're supposed to be taking steps towards it.

Stop littering.

horrible garbage. shameful.

Can you expand on this a bit? Beyond the, I would guess, “because it’s AI,” reason, what specifically do you find lacking or problematic? Genuinely asking so I (and possibly others) can learn from it.

Very cool! I made the mistake to also look at the comments 😩

Thank you! Lol yeah. It’s to be expected.

I find this use of AI to be perfectly good and smart. Those who have a problem dont need to use it.

Thank you. Yeah, they don’t have to use it. But (looks at the other person who replied to your comment), they sure as hell will be childish about disagreeing lol

They dont worth the time and energy.

FUCK AI!
