This isnt "back end optimization", this isnt "helping artists do their jobs", this is replacing talent with actual slop. This is why i think more individuals AND news outlets need to talk about the problems of genAI. They think they can feed players slop and some of'em let them.

Look I got off my ADs so I can better focus on losing some stubborn weight but now as I lay in bed I’m watching a wordless Korean YouTube video making delicious looking cakes and thinking how many crimes I would commit just to have something that indulgent right the fuck now.

I finished the entire BLOPS 7 campaign, asked for a refund and Valve granted it to me.

Shocked they did TBH

I did a quick bake and texture of the head and hair to test out my topology, get a better look at facial proportions, and decide how stylized I want the eyes to be. It feels good to get to this stage after a lot of sketching and sculpting.

I can’t believe that somehow along the way I figured it out and knew what I’m doing when it comes to this job. I am an artist and younger me would absolutely not believe me nor would expect it.
