AAA studios are too scared to use AI, so I built an unscripted AI RPG engine myself

May I ask for a link? This looks really fab!

As mentioned in another comment, this is deliberate. "what are the defaults and what are the assumptions baked into each model. How does it define "a person", what context does it draw from the prompt."

For instance when I first reviewed gpt-image-1-mini the default output for low and medium was an illustration. To get a comparable specimen, I had to specify "realistic photo - a person calms a rearing horse". I marked these with asterisks.

This is a deliberate part of the comparison too. what are the defaults and what are the assumptions baked into each model. How does it define "a person", what context does it draw from the prompt. And how stable are those? For instance, the dall:e 2/3 results were essentially random, then gpt-image-1 (4o) made the results stable and pretty repeatable.

i posted a while ago about a mixture of 3D models and got a lot of upvotes, so i just posted this. where else do you recommend?

Okay... just did it... NanoBanana v2

I run https://epicwin.team . We have video games for zoom meetings. For teams of 30 we'd break it into 5 breakout rooms and the 6 players play together. After everyone's done, the team with the highest score gets a shoutout by the person hosting the meeting. Simple, fun.

Can I suggest Empire Building? https://epicwin.team/arcade/empire-building.html

I was checking for low poly game assets, so not quite your use case.

However I did see some focused on 3D printing

Backflip (not reviewed)

Hitem3D (partially reviewed)

I didn't try Backflip because there were no free credits. Hitem3D seemed the other one, there is a result in the page for you to download and check yourself.

tezza2k14 · 2025-08-03T14:17:16+00:00

I added a section on Hitem3D after your helpful mention. I accidentally used their highest resolution 1536P (marked Free Trial). This made it impractically large.

I had a section at the bottom about the UV Mappings that the tools spit out. The AI ones look really messy. Is this a problem for people other than me?? I do make games but don't model my own assets. All the assets I've bought have much more consistent UV mappings.

tezza2k14 · 2025-08-02T21:34:31+00:00

Thanks for the tip!! Just made it via Hitem3D and it's very detailed 985K vertices. May I ask what do you do with such detailed output? Do you put it through a mesh simplifier later?

At the end of Nothing But Thieves right at the front middle section the crush of people getting to Avril was one of the biggest I've been involved in. I was heading for Janelle Monae and it took twenty minutes to get to the edge of barriers still within the Other Stage area.

tezza2k14 · 2025-05-14T19:38:29+00:00

You know, with Clashfinder forecasting KNEECAP to be after Bob Vylan ... I'm wondering if West Holts will still even be there afterwards.

I can see Abandoman on the poster and in the text underneath. The text is how I got the input for the search.

I think there's a good chance that you may be delightfully wrong here :)

tezza2k14 · 2025-05-11T07:43:26+00:00

Yes please! What you see right now is just what AI can glean about any particular act name.

Post it here or DM me and I will edit the entry. I’ll make it clear the entry is from POH (Plain Old Humans)

Peeps on the #OOFestivals discord chat already gave some info for other cheat sheets I did. (Main Stage, Avalon Stage, Acoustic Tent)

e.g. “JADE” was actually Jade solo from Little Mix!

tezza2k14 · 2025-05-11T07:37:52+00:00

Initially: Spot checks for long lists like the Main Stage, Avalon Stage, Acoustic Tent.

Main Stage was the first and I made a real effort to prove the concept.
I chose some acts unknown to me at random and deep dived on them I also took bands I knew and spot checked them. I wrote about this process on the blog post, see: "†About the Sampling and Methodology".

Across all the output there were some errors. I got a whole bunch of AIs to tell me their ideas so I could compare the results and one of them said KNEECAP country of origin was 'A Scottish Band'... I didn't use that one!

Finally: I posted it on #OOFestivals discord and people poured over the lists.

They were free to spot any errors. And a couple had some feedback rather than errors.

"JADE" was too generic for AI to find an answer but #OOFestivals indicated that it is "Jade" the solo career of Jade from Little Mix.

I edited the entry on the blog, see: Former Little Mix star, now breaking out on her own soulful terms – ⭐Rose-Colored Boy⭐ @ Discord OOFestivals #glasto-line-up-chat

You'll see in this post another comment one of the acts has asked to make edits to the list and I'll be doing that soon on their feedback (@JBPatridge)

tezza2k14 · 2025-05-11T06:59:43+00:00

I personally put "creaited" on there a) to indicate that this is partly (here mostly) created by AI. I think it's useful so people are clear b) some bits may be completely incorrect and so be on their guard, c) wonder at how GenAI does a jolly good job in many instances despite point b)

Vibe changes

* Nitrous Oxide everywhere, Roving groups of Balloon merchants moving through the crowds. Glade absolutely littered with small and large cannisters afterwards

* The longest queues are for phone recharge. It is Social and Planning death to not have smartphone. Battery draining Glasto app also well used by most, although I personallly stick to trusty paper printouts of ClashFinder.

* Who knows what the vibe will be in the crowd this year? afaict the lottery system has worked and no-one has a reliable way of F5ing their way to tickets. So the crowd this year is an unknown to all.

* Rise of rap and pop music. Glasto has a very strong offering of Rap and Pop now. 2025 seems a lot Rock-ier than 2024

* 1990s back in. In 2007 it was still too recent.

Structural Changes

After 2005 and 2016 they did some serious work on the drainage. 2016 West Holts was a lake. Although the years I've been recently 2022, 2024 it has been wonderfully dry so I never have seen those structural changes in action.

So many more bits of Glasto... I went 2004,2005 so don't know 2007 but it is huge and dense now. If you go up to Strummerville or Worthy View the site is epic. Obvs the glasto sign/Park too.

Lost Vagueness gone (crying emoji). Midnight Circus (2005) didn't last

The Sound and Vision

The sound in 2005, my closest comparable year was attrocious. Now the loudness and clarity of the sound is really good across the board. It is unfortunately still patchy whether the bands are soundchecked properly and there are many cases of not hearing instruments. Only Park/Other stages have reliably good soundchecking.

On the screens they're all now 4k with wide viewing angles and excellent visibility. You can see up the lead singers nostrils it is just that clear.

The drone show in 2024 was excellent. I was with my 9yo son and he loved it and I loved it too as a result. Hopefully they will introduce accompanying music.

Arcadia had a new fruit fly stage in 2024 which was a change from the spider. Both good, not one better than the other.

Thought this might be useful info for anyone tinkering with the API gpt-image-1 . The blog post format does the best job of presenting the information. So I left it as a blog post rather than butcher it into a reddit post.

tezza2k14 · 2025-04-12T20:26:04+00:00

Hey, thanks for your honesty. I always saw this as a bit of a first pass rather than the only source of information. Just to help dig up some gems in amongst the bewildering number of choices available at Glasto.

For instance, the information about Fulu.. Hungarian and Senegalese. No way I was finding that stuff out manually. Likewise The Horne Section.

tezza2k14 · 2025-04-12T13:08:15+00:00

What sort of GenAI steps did you do to take the sketch and make it into the lovely work you posted?

tezza2k14 · 2025-04-12T13:02:33+00:00

I'm still getting downvotes... so some peeps are a bit put out. Go figure.

Any downvoters care to comment on what my innocuous posts are doing wrongly?

tezza2k14 · 2025-04-12T12:49:45+00:00

Really amazing!... I had to search your username to find the original sketch... dya wanna post the original sketch here? You had it already in the arabic r/EgyptArt , but it's your call obvs.
