For the record, I'm pro AI but I don't think it's going to be the "Magic Spell" the average person conceives it. It's another tool in the box. You're still going to need someone with talent to make it work.

When I was a working musician, I met a lot of guys who had top of the line guitar rigs and couldn't play a fucking decent riff. Then there'd be another guy with a combo amp, beat to shit guitar and a few stomp boxes who would blow the audience's hair off. 

Still gonna need that human touch. AI will eliminate a lot of the busy work. For example, I met a programmer who uses it to write basic outlines but he still has to tweak them to get them to work. But he pointed out that it removes hours of time he has to spend building the basic framework. 

So yeah...I see it as another leap forward but hardly the miracle people think it's going to be. And like any other skill, you're still gonna need a guy with experience to pull the levers.

AI is a great tool to help inspire and give concepts to start working on for the artist be it a writer or a graphics artist etc. The end all and be all, no.  It is far from that level now. Not sure if it ever woudl be.

When humanity was in analogue, we aspired for digital. The exacting perfection and predictability. Now that we are more digital and technology is so advancd, many are moving to analogue simpler way of  life.

Okay, now you're just being nit-picky...

So you don't want to hear about the other issues? LOL

It is still great. For those that were older here and think back this would have been almost unthought of except in the most craziest sci fi stores. The ability to create something like this. Hell, they would have been happy if it could write a sentence that made any sense

The frustrating part is I want to read some of those articles!

You can use this

https://www.lipsum.com/

Make it look like an article and fill out the magazine. Then just add the excellent photos you make to the article. Make it look like it is an actual article.

(just keep the title )

I like the off center wine glass stem, too!

The glass lip is also not level.

that's a good computer AI generated christmas present

(fingers on the right hand funky.)

Well....

The judgement for "Better" is subjective.

So yes. Depending on your desires and wants lol

The photo is an excellent example of that!

If they were an indie studio living in shoestring budget that would be understandable, but resources are the last thing they lack also they could have integrated the ‘unofficial patches’ with the official releases a long time ago instead of reselling the old buggy game again and again, and again.

Yeah I know, beating dead horse...

Yes you are beating a dead horse. However, for a few dollars you can buy it some horse armor!

Fix the bugs first, Todd.

The bugs ARE A FEATURE! lol.

Hell, keep the bugs if he goes back to the storytelling and game play of Morrowind or even Obllivion. Provide the tools necessary or at least allow the tools to be used (backend in reasonable order so mod authors cando their work) and all would be fine by me.

It wouldn't be a bugthesda game without the bugs.

Now that is the most apparoprate Jedi photo I have seen. lol

If I ever get back to launching my miniature game company, I'm using AI to create miniature designs for the sculptors.

Get back to it and make the most offensive content for those wokesters!  You will make a killing.   Seriously it looks like that is the recipe curretly to make $$$$.  You make money and get free advertisement to boot!

I made an ashe blonde version with paler skin but the warm skin tone and honey=colored hair I ended up with suit her better.  Tried putting bigger boobs on her too but the perky B Cups just looked better.

Indeed

You had extremely high standards there bud.. "shooting for a face that looks like a person".  Very high expectations there. Glad it worked out for you

Nice!

new model?

I want to upload 10 before the month is over, but I'm probably better off just focusing on one.

IMO I'd agree. Quality over quanity wins every time. Also you need some RL time as well

Not a fan of Type6 but I might have a specific use. 

DO tell!

@Jim_UK I see you have some of your screen caps there on Nexus.

Once ... if... when... I can get a gaming  computer ... that won't screw up and totally fail after a year.  I'm going to want to work with you to set up my character/NPC to look terrific!  LOL

Yep.. Bugthesda never gave NPC the ability to jump.

Well then it is a hand held pip boy then.

I just thought a colorized pipboy for the outfit would be awesome. Different, and stand out. Not sure how hard it would be to make such a thing for an outfit though.

You could colorize the pipboy and place it at the wrist.  Make a nice clean shinny pipboy.  That or just have someone use a handheld mod to do the same thing. Depends on the artist preferences.

If not, you might be able to copy the script that does it

It is basically the same engine if we are talking about Skyrim (original)

Also there is a girl that is a ghost in Skyrim. Might have some ideas to follow as well.

Running something through bodyslide is beyond me lol.

Wow, your composition and lighting and ... well everything has massively improved. Not that what you did prior was bad but the latest crop of captures are next level.

Did you port the outfit  over to Skyrim? Also is this SE or original.
