Blender / Blender + Stablediffusion
I'd like to share another case for a good use of #stablediffusion technology, which can enhance and improve the workflow of creating a piece of art. To illustrate this, I'm presenting an artwork I created in #Blender, and two versions of it, one with more detail and texture added by AI using Stablediffusion.
Now, some may argue that using AI to enhance an artwork takes away from its uniqueness and character, but I see it as a way to bring the original concept closer to the artist's vision. Moreover, Stablediffusion can be a valuable tool for artists who don't have the time, resources, or expertise to create highly detailed or realistic images manually. With Stablediffusion, artists can add depth, texture, and nuance to their work, allowing them to focus on the creative aspects of their art, like composition, color, etc.
While some may see using AI as cheating or relying too much on technology, it's worth noting that many digital artists use various techniques and tools to create their masterpieces, such as presets, stock images, or software filters. These "crutches" can be powerful tools for achieving specific effects or saving time, without diminishing an artist's creativity or originality.
in TL;DR. a good use case of this technology doesn't "replace" the artist, it just brings it closer to it's vision with less time involved, which can be benefical to a lot of people in these times.
