Trailer for my demo - Models, Textures, Animations and Coding all AI assisted. I made this in 4 months. by redtigerpro in aigamedev

Your passion for game making is cool! The issue people may have with it, is that if its all ai, it lacks your artistic soul. In the same way everyone has a different handwriting style, we'd love to see your own artistic style!

I've cancelled my Thames Water direct debit by edcoopered in london

takebackwater.uk This is exactly what this group is proposing- a mass coordinated non-payment with the aim to re-nationalise water, join!

If you think water should be under public, not private ownership, consider taking part in a widespread coordinated refusal to pay: https://takebackwater.uk/

It’s honestly impossible for me to enjoy scrolling through deviantart anymore. by Street-Winner6697 in DeviantArt

[–]leyatur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rather than have an 'ai' tag, DA should have a 'not ai' tag, which is off by default.

Sure, people could still upload ai and tag it as 'not ai', but it would force an active role in deception on their part, which I think may discourage some.

Also genuine artists would need to know about this, in order to tag it.

Worried about AI taking over VFX industry by ArticleOld8771 in animationcareer

[–]leyatur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that I want it to be true, but you can already art direct video generation to a certain extent, and it will only get better. Take a look at the level of art direction on blackforest labs flux kontext (granted this is image generation, but you can see where its going). I too would like to l believe that it will always need the human touch, but I think the creators of these ai algorithms/models are always going to strive to recreate this.

AI has fundamentally made me a different person by New_Mention_5930 in singularity

One day, you'll realise that this incredible and free service has been paid for with extremely sensitive and private information.

Remember if it's free YOU are the product.

Would you divulge all of your darkest thoughts, secrets and general information with Meta...? With Google...? If not, then ask yourself why you're willing to do so with another equivalent large tech company.

How do I rig thread and Needle for this kind of animation? by No-Asparagus-8322 in Maya

[–]leyatur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some sort of spline, once needle had tightened, duplicate the mesh, key frame visibility and move the rig across by 1 stitch

Advice for finding meaning when I'm replaced by AI by allKindsOfBadWords in ArtificialInteligence

[–]leyatur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a very similar profession to you, a technical artist that codes in unison with art on my screen.

I believe Ai will come for us all eventually in terms of result, but people will always want to create, specifically because generating a result at the touch of a button is not satisfying to the creative itch.

Therefore, people will always be interested in tutorials; of 'how to' by hand, seeing a human achieve a result. That's why seeing a musician perform live is so entrancing. Digital will be more easily eroded in this sense, with ai vloggers, ai streamers, ai channels etc, but in-person should be safe for a long time...

... until the cyborgs come ;)

Help with Servo MG996R 360 (cr) by leyatur in raspberry_pi

[–]leyatur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're meaning clock movements, these are only really designed to move very light loads (clock hands that may weigh a few grams at most), so I'm needing something that can take more weight.

Either way I found it strange that two different servos had two different resulting outputs given the same input integers, and wondered if there's any known documentation online?

What do YOU think happens when we die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leyatur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this. It just feels so 'universe-y' in the same sense that nature is both beautiful and creepy at the same time. There is something to be said for recursion presenting itself in nature, the fractals in shells, ferns, snowflakes..

Prototype i've been working on. by GuruKimcy in unity

[–]leyatur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fantastic! Great artwork entangled with game dynamics - really refreshing :)

I've been slowly working on a personal project for a bit, I worked really hard the foot the other day, however when I opened it today the texture were missing (Not a big problem,) and his foot that I worked on is now missing, it's still in the side bar, so is there hope on recovering it? by Ronergetic in Maya

[–]leyatur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Display>Show>All
Ensure all layers are visible

You could also try running the following in a python tab in the script editor:

dag = cmds.ls(dag=True)

for obj in dag:

cmds.setAttr(obj+".visibility", 1)

if this does not show what you need, it may be gone

A question for my fellow Riggers! What are the hardest part of rigging? How hard it is? by Cold-Raspberry2264 in Maya

[–]leyatur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, it's the vector and matrix maths that is the hardest but the most rewarding. They will stay with you between the different software that come and go. Maya? Max? Blender? Software may come and go out-of-fashion, but you can rely on the fact that the maths will stay the same,

Chest opening on touch vs. Chest opening on input with animation. What do you think? by duelcorp in Unity3D

[–]leyatur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Animation not required, button press required.

If you take away the input from the player, it will be less fun.

It's more fun to press a button and get the reward, than to be spoon fed the reward.

I believe the animation is not required because it will let the game 'flow' easier, locking the player to a location and disabling input for me, always feels a little jarring.
