  • A.I Art for Gamedev?

    2023-03-04 17:00:00 +0000 -

    Sci-Fi Livingroom Panorama A.I Art is getting really good, and there are already several ways we can use it for gamedev. Textures for example, can never get enough of those. We can create seamless textures with image generators like Stable Diffusion, which is incredibly useful. Then we can use tools like Material Maker to add depth maps to the textures! Seamless (tiling) textures works best for ‘materials’ - environment, buildings etc., but any texture or image can be useful if you get something good. Decals, tattoos etc. can be painted onto a 3D model,to use for reference when sculpting, or to get the makeup, wrinkles, etc. With some effort, an entire face/body can be spray painted onto a model if the picture is right!

    You’ll find this post in your _posts directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run jekyll serve, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.
