Wishing everyone from members to visitors a very Merry Christmas and prosperous new year

Little festive render to up the mood!

Some Rayscaper tests....

I love the Polyhaven integration to just drag drop HDRIs to switch up the lighting.

Would be nice if AI tackled real world problems rather than disrupting markets that create employment.

@pixelcruncher is hard at work crushing bugs and adding quality of life stuff for the next release....

Above was 5000 samples at 2k resolution on a 4080 card with no denoising in 14.5mins

Having some fun with Rayscaper

Stay safe @majid

SUbD fun with furniture

I've never seen or tasted Twinkies and for obvious reasons they couldn't have a brand name in the game.

Nor do I know what this even does in the game. But it was a fun challenge. The texture did all the work.

@dancingskirt said in Any AI tools that actually help during early modeling stages?:

AI tools or plugins that are genuinely useful during early design, not just for final images?

The problem currently is the number of options out there and the speed of improvement. AI is accelerating at such a pace that last month's tool becomes obsolete.

ComfyUI is still my preferred option because its local, there's a vast amount of readily available workflows out there and it is flexible.

I prefer to keep my interactions with AI outside of the Big Tech bubble.

Impressive result.

Tons of Ruby Console errors

You need to provide more info. Does clicking the Generate Video button open the dialog?

If it does screenshot that dialog so we can see the settings.

Is FFmpeg properly linked?
