Who did it better

Good news. I used the background from the top one, but Lola's image I used the bottom one. So best of both worlds!

FF5

i like the style of the top one but the foot and the arms are just to wrong to overlook. bottom one for me.

Not a lawer either but its been in alot of forums etc. At the moment they are going after a few Ai art programs themselves, assuming if they win then there will be issues with art generated by it. I think alot of artists are getting angry their stuff is being used with modifications and they get nothing, cos without base samples the ai wont work.

That is a really interesting conversation. I'm not a lawyer but my understand is that since AI art is not done by a human it's not copywriteable. Ai anyone can use my ai images. But to say that an AI image is from a copywrited work they would have to prove that. Those that have watermarks are easy, but an image that is a composite of 100s of images becomes more difficult to prove. As the technology matures I'm sure we'll see what rules come from it

Isnt Ai art coming under fire from DMCA take downs for drawing from images that are not royalty free?

2000AngryBadgers

I found one that creates 16 images at a time. Had to run it a few times to get the prompts right, but it did pretty good. All the characters are placed in the scene. Ai is not good enough for that yet

FF5

I'm impressed with how well the AI images came out.

That's a very good question I've been pondering over. Yes, for some of them. There are a few images I hate, but didn't have a good way to fix at the time. Like the University background; It's terrible and there's only 1 image to update. A giant redo is unlikely

FF5

I completely agree. When it comes to background images, this is the hardest thing to keep consistent. In this release alone I have around 10 new backgrounds. If I paid an artist for each background it would cost $2,000 - $1,500 and take 8 - 10 weeks. So I do pay for some backgrounds, I've been using purchased stock images for others. The problem with stock is that there's aren't that many I can legally use (Don't want to get a DMCA take down) so I'm trying the Ai for some consistency and maybe update some of the other backgrounds with the Ai to keep it consistent

FF5

If given the time, would you go back and update all the old art throughout the game to the new style?

I could. That's an older image I've never really like, but if everyone else loves it more I'll happily replace the character

FF5

Tbh I prefer some consistency in the art style.

The game developer could have it were Lola or whoever that is had there hair down in the previous scene

WolfKing

I feel like I prefer the top one, but it's more obvious it's Lola in the bottom

I like the AI for this one better
