AI to 3D Technology That Will Break Entire Industries (AI News) 

Thank you, Alek! That was an awesome video & I can't wait to see where they take this technology next! Keep up the great videos!

You mentioned on previous vids that you are creating an application to post many products at one time to various resources. Your focus seems to be efficiency. I'm doing a good bit of API programming right now. I'd love to hear more about your product. And, I like where you are headed with this idea, if I can help, I'd love to.

The leap from 360 image to 3D environment is SIGNIFICANT. It's not justt a matter of time. It's a significant leap in technology.

Alek, thanks for keeping us all in the loop. I certainly don't want to get left behind and your videos help enormously.

AI will steal from a lot of people. It is just fact. That creative people can get more creative quicker is a different outcome, but it will cut out many people who have spent years honing their skills and are suddenly out of work. If you have no problem with that because it doesn't affect you, then that is what you think and feel. I am mixed. I am creative and can use this to get my stories out quicker and better looking than I would have without a lot of effort and funds. I do feel for those that lose their jobs though, and I am a bit saddened to see so many just shrug that off as nothing because they are not in the targeted profession, but I guess empathy goes out the window once one gets what one yearns for.

it shows how little people understand what they talk about when I watch video like this. Feels good

Awesome! can't wait to see what this tech does for 3D art in the future

Better pay attention people, the future moves fast. Thanks again sir.

It's a weird balance watching your videos, you manage to kill some ideas for me but then level up my concept of what's possible, thanks for your content and research!

These are HDRI backdrops (or sky map images) for 3D worlds, so your 3D environment has a sky. I hand paint my own sky maps, but gave Sky box a try. they aren’t too bad, but aren’t perfect. I wouldn’t add them to my workflow yet, but in the future as fast as things are moving in the AI space, I’m sure this will be a handy tool.

No one really knows how things are going to go with which industries. I can tell you about my parallel observations from working in the gaming industry (from Indie to AAA studios) - Midjourney/Stable Diffusion etc is crazy good right now, but we are still hiring concept artists. Not less, not more. You really need a person that has the years of experience that taught and exercised their artistic eye so they know what decisions to make, from large to very fine ones, their sense of what works and what doesn't, and can respond well to feedback. Some use Midjourney as a starting point, others have the Art Director using that as a Moodboard to then give to the concept artists to work on properly, by hand, from scratch. I cannot imagine someone walking into the studios I worked, or am working now, knowing just Midjourney etc and expecting to get hired, no matter how amazing the results from said software is. We need properly experienced and trained artists. So, for now, all these are indeed tools. I would recommend embracing AI as it is not going anywhere, but don't fool yourself into thinking you are an artist, or sorted and ready for the industry with just prompt experience. In the future it may very well be similar to Jarvis, where you voice command the changes and feedback to the Midjourney-generated art. And this would be simply doing art with your voice - you are still making the decisions, working. With these 3D Art tools it may go the same way, who knows.

I used to have a Wii mini golf game that had 3D landscape courses of this sort… Would be cool if somebody used this to create a new mini golf game lol

Always on the cutting edge of the AI world, thank you very much for really awesome and informative tutorials and videos.

Somebody has to say it, so it might as well be me. The most profitable use case for this tech is going to be VR seamlessly syncing up 3D worlds and objects generated from your actual environment to your headset. This will allow you to play "hide the salami" with your entire catgirl waifu harem, and you don't even need a fancy joytoy tech gizmo to integrate with the headset. This will allow humanity to unlock levels of cringe not previously thought possible. Make your grandmothers proud, gentlemen.

12:52 It triggers me when people say that, if you have more creation and create quicker, then you need less people in the industry, which in turn kills jobs. It's a job killer.

if you need a skybox you can already do a lot with the first tool. and for scrolling 2D levels. its not giving you a 3D world but its pretty useful already

Thanks for sharing these cool tools. Can't wait to use it.

The big problem with these DIAs is that they steal art from artists to simulate other art. Who are we going to sue ?!

Cheers for this, didn't know about blockade... It is meant to be used in real projects btw, the download is a fairly high res skybox that can be used for backgrounds / lighting / reflections etc etc in games / 3d production. Nvidia recently added a hdri panorama option to it's canvas beta program for exactly this purpose but where you actually have some control over your world generation using simple brush strokes and layers, all very cool and I was so excited to try it... and then so saddened when on launch it told me that it only works for nvidia rtx cards hehe, I am a bit behind the times hardware wise sadly :) Update: As for whether I would trust blockade in any comercial project, or even personal projects to share with others... emm... having played around with it some more, like all "AI" it is blatantly just stealing peoples art from around the web and twisting it up into it's own weird imagination... lol. A fight that is still being decided on the legality/morality both in and out of courts I think ? It is a fun toy for some creepy nightmare fuel however, lol. e.g... /09b37d39692f119da44bac07c30e001d

The hole deck from Star Trek will soon be a reality. This generative technology is mind blowing. Ask us 2 years ago if we’d see this in 2023?

I'm a big fan of you. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much for your information.

came across your channel .. your videos are great man !

wow thank you for sharing! subbed!

New generation of Visual Novels: Blockade + ElevenLabs AI voices + GPT4 to create story branches and natural chatting + Stable Diffusion (characters) + Unreal (for Unreal 4, we have a Visual Novel kit available for free). Wow... Now even I want to use this to make something. Thanks for sharing!

This is what I’ve been looking for thanks for the video!

It reminds me of the days of Mist and look what we have now. Imagine UE6 with IA.

Love your content Alex. You have mentioned an automated Printify and Mock up script you were working on. How's that going?

Can definitely see this being used in a sports game like NBA 2k to directly map your face to the character model.

7:25 it can give much much more power to indie game developers like me. Currently me and my friend making our first pc game. Having more tools like this could pretty much can make huge difference.

Cheers mate quality info

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Great content ! Thks for your work

I think it's easy to say "instead of thinking 'they will steal jobs' I like to think this is an opportunity to..." When you didn't study so many years in one proficiency and see all that being done in one click. And I don't mean you specifically, I don't even know what's your background. I'm talking about people out there.

Holy shit. Luma is crazy. I'm learning VR at the moment so it's going to be very helpful

Thank you for this so much!

Awesome tools, thank you!

Thanks mate it was very helpful :)

The same 2 e-commerce ideas repeated a couple times (that already exist with decently wide adoption) aren't painting a transformative vision of the future for me. However, this video does an amazing job showing off cutting edge ai to 3d creator platforms and I'm psyched to run off and dive into this more. We used to do painstaking photogrammetry and video stitching to get 3d from 2d capture. Closing this gap with Ai means a whole world of immersive experience. welcome to sim/stim (for any Gibson fans)

Glitch is killin your vibe bro, thanls for content

Everything out of this woman’s mouth is pure gold and this is the type of energy I want from myself down the line

I have a series of books and I manage to produce 3 episodes in 3D. It was extremely laborious, I spent 2 years in the making of these episodes. I'm waiting for good AI news to give my series a viable graphic solution, be an animation or a graphic novel.

No surprise they use neural radiance fields, they are really a game changer in 3D generative AI that's amazing. Nice video btw

I'm not sure I understand the optimism people are expressing with AI when it comes to jobs. Automobiles killed the horse industry in no time at all, and while a number of horse related industries dissapeared the autmotive industry more than made up for it with new positions created all over the globe. This is not the case with AI as it's not creating a new human driven industry, it's being introduced into existing industries to automate and replace human activity. Sure it will create small niche positions for people and increase productivity in certain professions but ask yourself this. When AI can take online orders, process them, run customer service, run the orders through a robotic warehousing system and deliver to your door via drone. How is that helping all those people who filled those jobs previous?

if blockade is how the ai in unreal editor will work then we have an interesting future.

It's going to be hard to stand out with the glut of content AI tools will be pumping out. A lot of it will go unseen. And if AI is simply going to be used to move junk food, is it really that useful?

It's probably already a thing, in its infancy stages or otherwise, but being able to design 3D objects leveraging AI and then using a 3D printer to make a physical copy? Honestly I am most excited about anything that can be used to make a video game. Lots of ideas, none of the requisite skills to make them reality.

That's free HDR right there

Good job! A had no idea about all this 👍

Absolutely mindblowingly insane. I can't keep up with this but I need to. It's a gamechanger.

Started learning blender recently and I actually enjoy being really engaged when making stuff. I have used midjourney and dream ai a couple of times before.They are cool but I prefer using blender over just typing prompt cause well ....?what the fun in just typing while you can enjoy the process of making it yourself but not gonna lie learning blender can be frustrating at time but its worth it in my opinion and learning how to use Ai tools does give you an added advantage...just pick the one that best interests you and start from there but I doubt those who pick Ai would wanna learn blender or maya.😂 But I don't mind learning blender first then later learning how to use these ai tools later. They aren't going anywhere so no rush.

Fascinating times ahead!

I can imagine the awesome creative minds will excel in life and arts that will now have the access to the tools to create these awesome worlds and playable games and the possibilities are creatively endless. Super stoked to be able to create with AI.

Very Interesting, I'm still learning and would like to explore this further.

Great Video .Thanks for the information it was very helpful

Amazing! While being optimisitic is good, being realistic is just as good. If everyone is creating movies and new games, then their value diminishes. Basically, supply and demand in economy is broken now.

the only problem is, unlike 2d images where there's universal formats that have been agreed upon and well established for decades and that is all over the internet, 3d objects haven't had such luck. FBX is the generally agreed upon format, but there's a plethora of formats and historically there's not been much of a consensus, they've also generally been behind paywalls even up until now. To get a text to 3d, you need to feed in large amounts of training data, in this case, captioned 3d model files and i just don't see that happening very easily, but it's definitely doable. The other thing is, the ship has somewhat sailed. Art used to be encouraged to be studied by art students, the whole world is art teachers would say. But unfortunately with the rise of 2d ai art came the mis-understanding that AI was stealing work and making a collage of it rather than learning from it like how a student would. This mis-understanding has created pretty heavy movements to restrict art from being learned from without permission making upcoming text to 3d ai even that much more difficult.

Nice video, thanks :)

Amazing!! can you please make a video showing the best software to create a jewelry design like Rhino vs Matrix or 3design and so on

So should I learn blending or not as I have to start from scratch and for video creation and gameing ,

I have just described the Chinese town I live in. Pretty cool results. Really fun stuff.

Thank you very much from Uruguay. I was looking at Blockade Labs, and it seems all that we create is free for them to use.... and what's the bennefit for us ? Please enlight me! Thank you again!

This is next level

I am a web developer and there is a option of getting the Iframe of the 3d world, now, it will be so easy for me to create engaging user friendly 3d Paralex websites. and I am also a youtuber so I will teach it in my videos too

yay! Break entire industries. Wow! woot woot!

For luma AI the min number of images are 10 not 3

How did you make that 3D city in your video thumbnail? I thought you had a video going over that but maybe I was mistaken.

thanks it's incredible !

Brooo my boy got banned on Etsy and Ebay using AI art that's insane he had done like 40k over the years and just lost it all

We used to say "Reality is a crutch." In a future with AI, we will all be searching for reality.

I really like your channel. Thank you a lot. I have one question. Any Ai tools that can change real image to prompt text?

I think people are greatly underestimating 1. How derivative the human creative process is. 2. How genuinely creativite and novel AI has the capability to be.

Good video. Great insight from your perspective. (However,I guess I'm spoiled by other creators that post links to the websites they discuss. Not trying to knit pick, just realizing how convenient it is when it is done ).

this actualy is perfect for skyboxes.

wow the world is changing fast

Blockade is simply a Stable Diffusion model(s) fine-tuned to 360 images. Lumalabs isn't a 3D scan, it's NeRFs, which can be converted into 3D, but in doing so loses the view dependent specular reflections, which is the stellar aspect of the tech that makes it look so real. Unreal Engine is the game industry gold standard. It's a game engine, not a renderer... Even if it does have tools which can render lighting and bake it into a scene. Though it's quality has gradually inched towards cinematic fidelity over time, it is still a real time engine and so has a lower degree of fidelity than pre-rendered solutions.

What would be really useful is for an AI that can use (operate) existing software apps like Blender, Unreal 5, or any other app you may have. I know Blender 'uses' an AI (Stable Diffusion), but what I'm after is the AI acting as a person who is experienced in using Blender and all I have to do is tell it what to create for me.

Thank you!

U can use this 360° pic as an hdri to light the scn or as backdrop

Baby Yoda (Grogu) is a puppet, but they run Unreal Engine on the virtual environment that's projected on a dome of screens. Which is used for accurate reflections and real time edits of the environment for live performance

I really like your thumbnails

Amazing!

Our current AI algorithms will never replace artists. They might steal jobs because companies would rather produce shitty but cheap art than pay artists.

Can you add the link for the sites you talk about?

Super information ❤

Thanks!

Work !!! thx

isso é muito preocupante...acredito que aos poucos vão sobrar apenas os trabalhos artesanais para as pessoas.

OK. I want your space in the background

Thank you.

i wanna use it to make skyboxes :O

Muito bom, parabéns.

Procedural 3D AI world generators have been around and affordable for more than 5 years.

As i see it at least on the bright side, this could mean that one person will be able to do more, this opens the possibility for local markets to open in countries where visual productions would be very costly, meaning that artists or in the case of AI "designers" could be making the same amount of money just for smaller companies with tighter budgets for their local market(maybe I don't know dick about the economy).

etsy challenge video please

A couple days ago I posted a very similar picture like the one youe thumbnail on my Instagram lol

i´m so glad i´m not a artist,could u imagine the heartbreak,years of ur work and all of sudden just poof,I´m loving A.I but i am sad for them ngl.

thank you

Ai in art was a mistake... good thing is that people and studios prefer human made art. or anything art related will stop existing

I have a paper type item that I want to make as a collapsible food try what would be the best ai software to use for this project?

This makes me sorta secretly happy in a way. Having taken Art classes in College, I quickly realized that regurgitation was praised over uniqueness and creativity. What do I mean? Look no further than Andy Warhol. Maybe AI will force people back into their imagination and creativity or not.
