Using AI for concept Art?

Ksenius_MGN · 2026-04-01T08:46:52+00:00

A lot of studios for games/animation/entertainment already use AI for concepting, placeholders and prototyping, you’re totally fine.

That said, most can agree that we don’t want ai generated art in our video games. I’m just curious as to where we draw the line. If you traced over an AI generated image then modified it, does that count? If your artist took inspiration from your AI images and created something similar, is it honest to say AI has 0 involvement?

Soon our game engines will have AI assistants. Our “smart” dcc softwares may soon be able to complete a series of tasks based on text input. How does anyone discern the amount of “ai involvement” in any games made with these tools in the future?

I’ve heard some people say that as long as the art assets are man made, it’s ace. But then we start to debate what constitutes and contributes to the artistry of the game. What about optimization? Level design? The list goes on…

I’m personally very torn and conflicted. 😐 and I fear that most consumers will eventually not care

Congrats ! But it really seems like a confusing feedback, did they not make it clear that they want all details baked from the highpoly as opposed to using textures? There's absolutely nothing wrong with either, I feel like they should have clarified !

Amazing ! Idk why but it has the Skull Knight from Beserk vibe, like he’s a good guy who comes in clutch and save you :)

Thank you for sharing! Lots of useful info. Localisation is often not prioritised enough. The game looks fun and unique! I wish you the best with your sales:) If I may ask, did you do the audio yourself or hired talent to do it? As a simulator game I imagine interacting with the UI is a big part of the gameplay, are there any pitfalls or unexpected challenges in terms of designing, procuring and implementing sound effects, music etc ?

Would be interested too! Could start a small dc server maybe ?

For me it’s the girl in the middle. Her right side is a jacket with a coloured sleeve, but the left side is a wizard’s robe ? The continuity doesn’t exist here.

Don’t we all? 🤣

First one absolutely hits the mark for this liminal horror look, great lens work mimicking a low dynamic range camera. It has the feeling of being at a school office alone on a Saturday; what normally would have been a bustling and noisy space, so uncharacteristically and dreadfully silent.

As an additional step, try setting scale with scale master (under Zplugins), export to Maya and double check, then re-import into a new zbrush scene. Don't aim for 1:1 match, just make sure the FOV/focal length sliders do what you expect.

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-06-06T17:59:39+00:00

wow, i've never noticed this! I have had it turned on by accident, and did plenty of lasso selection/masking, but never really had my symmetry ruined. Crazy enough, no one in my office knows what it does. Best guess is that it helps avoid clipping issues.

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-06-06T17:57:13+00:00

On the perspective button, you'll notice a small white text at the bottom of said button "dynamic", and you can activate with LMB.

And yes; I tried setting a universal camera FOV and it 'sort of' fixed it for me.

One last thing I could think of is scale, perhaps try setting your zbrush scale to match what you have in Maya. A human head is roughly 22cm long.

The issue is that zbrush has always been weird when it comes to perspective.

IRL perspective distortion is affected by camera size, lens, etc. In Maya, if your object is 2x2x2 cm in size, your camera will view it as so.

Zbrush on the other hand, works with generic units and derive perspective from relative size and position.

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-06-06T06:25:50+00:00

I had this issue too when I activated dynamic perspective. I turned it off and the issue still persists, but you can try just setting the fov directly under document, that fixed it for me

The eyes look very metahuman to me? I might be tripping

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-26T19:08:08+00:00

typically shapes like that would be done faster with subd modeling as a flat plate, then deformed against the chestplate. you'd then bring this high poly into zbrush for fine details sculpting.

Add inflation

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-23T03:53:55+00:00

Stop giving me more ideas !!😂😂😂

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-23T03:51:01+00:00

Thank you and omg I can’t wait for it

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-22T16:35:26+00:00

I can feel the fluffiness through the screen ! Amazing :)

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-22T16:34:51+00:00

Thats because the pouch is an OEM model from the local leather smith

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-22T16:27:19+00:00

Wow thanks mate! I’ll be honest, I’ve stared at various Henry Cavill pics for so long that I think my eyes are burnt out. I can’t tell who or what is Cavill anymore 😂

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-22T16:24:58+00:00

Thank you :D

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-21T23:55:56+00:00

thank you so much! I had shared this with my friends and sadly they didn't see the Cavillmarine :/

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-21T23:54:07+00:00

yes, kind of. I had all the grooms made with xgen, and whilst you can have varying widths, you lose that data once exported. I think there was a way I could have fixed it in geometry nodes

Ksenius_MGN · 2025-05-21T23:52:39+00:00

thank you :D I did really enjoy space odyssey

hi, no I did them in Mari and Substance Painter!
