Hey! I'm George Crudo. I'm a digital sculptor! I make 3d character art, action figures, scripts and puns. Follow me for more art, Zbrush tips, random video game hot takes and just general silliness.
You can see my portfolio on my Artstation page!

i got to a part in this video where he says how he tried to hire a woman voice actors but it was too expensive and he didn't like the results & the AI did a better job
i went to the video to see what he chose
its literally the princess jane voice. for an hour. i nearly died.

imagine being so ballsy to lie about using AI for an art competition. winning. fabricating evidence that you didn't use AI when under scrutiny. then releasing a PSD as ultimate proof where you are undone because you forgot to rename the layer that matches the midjourney prompt

Pretty compelling Text-to-3D. Prompt was "modern purple sofa". Generated in 14 secs (with 3 others) and the GLB imports into Blender in another 5 seconds.

on the left is an AI generated Squirtle model posted earlier today. on the right is a Squirtle I modeled tonight using only that one reference image. my sculpt took an hour and a half.
I took an image from the original Pokémon artists to see how far can go:

I love reading AI people call artists "tech illiterate" because they don't explicitly describe the diffusion process every time they talk. Meanwhile they are trained in like 3-7 different software, each one way more technically advanced than any of the AI interfaces.

Last night, two communities clashed.
An AI [re]generated image had won a Cover Art contest.
Artists quickly saw it was AI, but Authors were unconvinced: they wanted reasonable proof, not hearsay.

i totally get the feeling of seeing your work not be where you want it to be and can see how thinking a layer of "polish" over it is a "dramatic improvement" but there's something sad about people genuinely telling them they like his original work better & he denies it like this

but it's not really designed to do any single one of these well. its designed to give an output based on input. it'll get better at that but all of these are entirely different problems constraied by hardware limitations and blunted by the ease and viability of doing it yourself

Warning for 3D Artists! 🚨
You may see this gizmo in your 3D software

Scaling a mesh is a highly deceptive practice subject to legal penalties up to & including life in prison.
You wouldn't scale something in real life so why is this okay?
It's not worth it

From the Zbrush 2023 patch notes. We made history today my friends.
Zbrush now has a normal save button by default. We did it. Future generations of Zbrushers will thrive off the fruits of our labor.
Presenting my most advanced ZBrush Plugin. Literally just a Save button. So you don't have to "Save As" every freaking time. Map this to Ctrl-S. Help prevent file corruption & data loss with more compulsive saves. Never interrupt your sculpting flow again
