With the announcement that Wicked: For Good has been nominated for Outstanding Model in a Photoreal or Animated Project at the VES Awards, it turns out the creature is actually referred to as "Bison".
I guess it's just the Oz variety.

Like, look my other favorite series ever: Xenoblade =
-Photoreal alien environments
-Unutilized mostly realistic alien creatures
-Anime humanoids & cartoonish sentients
Love Xeno, but it's not exactly "cohesive"
But believe me, that's not my new fav word. I just like how things fit in Dark Souls

The prequel nostalgia is in full swing, it's ridiculous. Can't get a photoreal Poe or Finn, but we got the budget for Taun We and Watto.

Show me an accountant who can draw/paint a photoreal bagel. And don't tell me YOU'RE ALSO AN ACCOUNTANT cause that's cheating.

My favourite thing about that whole saga were the ads you’d see occasionally of, I dunno, a photoreal viking or something and it was like, “This is what the metaverse will eventually be able to do.” No fooling?

Started with an image I created in Second Life since I have a lot of control there. I used Sora to convert to photoreal image. So prompt was actually quite simple - convert this image of 3d generated characters into a photorealistic image. Some additional words to mirror the scene to help guide it.

Whose data set taught Grok to realise children's genitals in photoreal renderings. Looks like some very dark material has been scraped by these megalomaniacs to train their sick weapons.

Stability doesn’t collapse all at once. It erodes where you keep choosing visible fixes over boring upkeep. Movement can look responsible while small decay becomes “normal.” Delay doesn’t remove the cost. It adds interest.

I think most AI art is not worthy of discussion. “Why and how did you make a photoreal picture of Princess Mononoke?” “Because it was cool,” the prompter replies. Neither creator nor fan can explain or speculate on the specific choices made, nor can they lean into any error and enhance it. (7/11)

to be clear, i definitely dont think photoreal graphics are purposeless (and i definitely dont hate unreal) but im with it only if something that would be inefficient is worth the cost. This probably has a more efficient method and also looks bad lmao

it's not just the danger of panics from propaganda; the pervasiveness of photoreal slop also undermines real evidence.
let's say video or audio is leaked of elite wrongdoing. easy rebuttal: "that evidence is fake. it's AI generated."
can you prove it isn't?
