to be fair if you are a video game executive and you see how much roblox is making on gambling traps made by and for minors you would also be like we are the biggest idiots alive for paying game developers

Less fun playing a good game, knowing your choices and failures and progress are tracked, but the team’s been laid off, and will never learn from the data, will not use it to make the next game. There is no next game. Neither you nor the devs are a part of any legacy. Both of you are just numbers.

Every time that a game has ambitions to be the next Doom, WoW, Apex, etc. I'm always reminded of Douglas Adams talking about how he wanted to be a member of Monty Python when he was younger. Cleese, specifically, and didn't really understand that the role was already taken until he was much older.

The biggest cash sinks in games are challenges in direction and production. Poor planning, lack of direction, and lack of creative conviction fueled by a poor understanding of what you are making and for whom - makes you burn dollars moving in circles. None of those are solved by AI in production.

Process makes the outcome. So as far as the creative process is concerned, garbage in... garbage out. Using untethered clip-art as a ref or concept is just absolutely wild to me. It's also just not what the tool is good at. LLMs are best at fuzzy finding. Get it to spit source links and check 'em.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape.

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

So last week I posted about a technique for creating and *almost* tiling noise texture in Blender, and it now occurs to me that I didn't explain *why*. There are better methods (even in Blender!) to tile a static noise texture. See this @nodegroup.xyz demo for that. 1/? youtu.be/B3PlAguibRc?...

I put up my first #b3d resource up on Ko-Fi. It is a simple node group set-up to tile Blender's procedural Noise Texture and Voronnoi Texture across UV space. ko-fi.com/s/60944df426 In the blend file I've included Geometry Nodes and Shader Nodes groups that you can add to your own Asset library

When Surtr emerges to wage war on Midgard, his domain comes with him. Niflheim itself erupts out of the ground in patches around you, creating encampents of Surtr's minions. Somewhere in the sea, a massive volcanic island emerges, where you will find Surtr standing over his battle map. #conceptart

Louis Sciannamblo @louiscyan.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Here is where I break down the shader/texturing effects for Surtr's sword, and also break down the details of his chest piece. It's unglamorous, but this is what a lot of concept art actually looks like. Breakdowns that help enable the 3d artists to understand the intention. #conceptart

Louis Sciannamblo @louiscyan.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Surtr's sword. I'd mocked up the shader when I was working on the concept art, so when the final model came back I knew I needed to cook up an animated clip for it! We wound up using the clip to promote the soundtrack for season 3. That was delightful. Video and concept posts incoming. #gameart

The pet for the viking set! Plus initial explorations for the costume. Designing this drone was great. One of the fun things about sci-fi designs, especially something that doesn't need a lot of range of motion, is how early you get to focus on abstract shapes and just balancing things out.

Louis Sciannamblo @louiscyan.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

I definitely went overkill on this concept. Cyber Viking set for Tribes. The arm in particular was a poor fit for our poly budget, but our 3d lead did a great job tweaking the design into something that worked. Wound up being a pretty popular set!
