why? aren't you desperately longing for trying to put into a prompt how a model should be animated? /s
It's really hard having to be a 3D modeler, animator, art director, developer and having good enough taste to know you're never going to have the time to build what you find acceptable
The trickiest part is really using 3D and it comes with lot of extra scoping you normally take for granted: animation, uv texture, rigging for humanoids, making sure stuff doesn't clip through etc.
Still learning Blender but its very slow. I haven't tried the MCP for it yet but I want to get proficient at it to be able to produce psx graphic models and textures...
This person related that in the years prior to this one, artists were essential members of every Game Jam team. Getting art for the games was the hardest, most limiting step. Without an artist, the games were limited in scope. Not every team could get an artist.
This year, many teams didn't have artists at all, and yet they were able to create more complete games with good looking art assets.
This isn't "firing" artists. This is making engineers more effective.
I work in the video space now, and I can't even begin to tell you how effective AI models make editors. It's like a super power.
