    As much as I like this post, it ain’t true for digital 3d artists. While you can lay down some objects and stuff, it’s still extremely limited.

      I could be wrong but my impression has been a lot of 3D artists often have sculpting backgrounds or parallel interests because they carry a lot of the same general compositional principles.

        Even a 3D artist who has never used clay before is going to be able to make something from it that looks good, just because so many of the same artistic principles and methods of thinking about how to modify what you’re working on to get the result you want still apply.

        Give an AI ‘artist’ anything other than a plagiarism machine and suddenly they can’t do anything, because they don’t want to actually put in the time and effort to understand art beyond ‘this one looks good and this one doesn’t’.

      What are the limitations? Not trying to start a fight, just wondering what’s on your mind that couldn’t be made in diorama form

        True it could be made into diorama form, that would require a different set of skill to pull off, something you’ll need to learn more in depth than just picking up a pencil

      Are 3d artists the same thing as AI bros?

      No, they are not.

        No of course. I’m just saying the post doesn’t cover all of the digital artists that aren’t shitty

          It doesn’t need to, because the post is only about AI ‘artists’, not digital artists.

            No no, it’s on point. All the digital artists should be covered. They could claim that if 3d artists can’t do art without a computer, then according to this post, they shouldn’t be called artists too.

              Digital 3d artists can generally also do physical sculptures because one is just a digital version of the other. They still understand how shapes in a 3d environment work, and how sizes and proportions work. All they need is a little clay.

              People who do colors and textures digitally also understand how they work in the real world. They might be better using digitsl topls, but artists understand the process and can work with multiple mediums just by applying the same processes.

              AI ‘artists’ use word prompts, which does not translate into the real world.
