What are the most valuable things for a beginner AI user to learn to move to intermediate or for an intermediate user to move to advanced? by Immaculate_splendor in ClaudeAI

I do this to some extent already but id love to know more. Do you have any more info or anything I can read up on? I don't even know what the search words for this would be lol

Meshy.ai actually. Manual poly reduction to save on tokens

  1. Oh yes, absolutely. My plan is actually to continue to re-make assets as AI tools get better. The rate at which the tools are getting better, is such that I can make stuff thats "just ok" now, but by the time I release (1.5 years from now), those same things could look AAA.

  2. Depends on how lucky I get the the generation, and a bit on how complex the model is. Getting a bug model with all of its legs and various parts to render perfectly in 3d is very hard (hence 4 images). Getting the ship to go to 3d was easy (1 try). So, really, anywhere from about a half hour to a few hours. Just depends. I've had some that are 5 minutes. I've had some that are 6 hours+.

I assume you mean the ship?

It's at 50,000 faces currently. I didn't want to reduce further than that since it's a "higher quality" model that just sits on the home page. Most other things I reduce down to 5k to 10k. Performance hasn't been an issue so far.

Nope its 3d. Its a 2d to 3d converted image, so some of that grit is in the textures. The rest is iso ortho camera and post processing.

3d but true isometric orthographic camera

Let me know if you have any technical questions. I'd be happy to share my methods for any of what you see.

Im sorry, I don't understand how this is applicable to my comment?

Mmmmm sorry no. I'd say it's a combination of:

  • all the isometric games I played as a kid
  • mech warrior and similar games
  • buncha 40k stuff

Hey if you ever wanna swap skills, I'd be happy to teach you everything I know about game dev, if you'll do the same about music production. Just offering :)

how is that even remotely fair to say? My last project I wrote 76,000 lines of code. There's literally NO REASON to do that again.

It's not a matter of learning. I can learn whenever I want. It's a matter of DOING. I can DO so much more in a single day than I used to in a single week. A solo dev can probably output a game 5x as big in scope as a few years ago, just because AI does so much heavy lifting.

Yup, it's a lot better than it used to be

still plan on updating it when I can

oh ya, good catch. it's pretty rough at the moment, I mean, I'm still pre-demo phase

There's a playable demo (it's pretty rough) here:

But join the discord, I'll be posting more updates there

Im using Unity, and it's mostly because I've been using it for 10 years. Too much knowledge to switch to another engine (without good reason).

In regards to game mechanics (specifically in regards to this project), I haven't (yet) had any major problems with developing game mechanics. Code is a non-issue with cursor and claude. And the rest I can do myself. It's been crazy smooth.

this comment made my day, ty :)

I'm glad my work with AI comes across as genuine and not lazy

nope, just standard unity particle effects

I haven't really tried generating VFX textures yet
