What's the point of learning how to 3D model and use CGI when AI continues to improve and do everything a commissioned artist can do?

No matter how good AI is, it needs training material to learn a new technique, approach or gimmick. Once AI is trained to properly replicate certain gimmick, trick or style, you can step forward and come up with something new again and stand out until AI gets there.

If you can't find a reason to learn art then you might be a bug person

>>1012610 (OP)
What's the point of posting here if you don't even know if you wanna learn? Go to /adv/ or something.

>>1012610 (OP)
Before AI it was: what's the point of learning art if there are so many artists that someone is definitely gonna be better than you.

I dunno anon, seems like with your logic the purpose in life is to have sex and reproduce, but you'll never do that either. So what's the point in continuing on? There's nothing for you.

>>1012610 (OP)
The same point why learning maths is still useful even when calculators and spreadsheets exist. I you are not above your own work you are a drone.

>>1012610 (OP)
why are you learning CG to be a wagie lol

>>1012610 (OP)
James Cameron seems to disagree.
AI is only so devistating to the art world because social media/youtube viewers are CATTLE who don't actually want anything of quality in their feed.

The point is to git gud ad 3D.
One of two things will happen:
a) AI kontinues shitting the bed, your job is safe
b) your 3D knowledge will enable to you write better prompts than AI tards within 10 minutes and you'll get their job if AI against all odds improves

>>1012903
>Writing prompts
Nobody who does 3D Ai writes prompts, its all image to 3D, and the goal is to automate the promptranny as well

>>1013013
> its all image to 3D
I bet most of those people use niji to get their 2d image.

I started playing with blender like less than a month ago, I'm well aware I'm tremendously late to the party, and yet I'm still having fun. Maybe its because I'm not looking to make money out of this.

Generative AI lacks the level of control that human-made art provides. If you have something really specific in mind, you may have to keep generating and generating and burning through your credits until the RNG gives you a result you're satisfied enough with.

>>1012610 (OP)
because it´s fun? just do what you want then start killing civilians once you´re broke, who cares about employment

That's depressing af though, I didn't learn 3d to write a prompt until I get a good result. I learned it because I want to be the one sculpting, modelling and texturing.

You're just pressing a button until an almost random result is good enough. It doesn't compare to how it feels to do it yourself.

>>1012610 (OP)
Because it's fun.
If you're worried about job opportunities, I'd recommend to have a shift in your artistic approach. Don't make people want your 3D models because they're technically good, but because they say something about your insane mind.
Be the reason why people want to commission you, where no matter if a person or machine can recreate your technical style 1.1, people just want to know what you come up with.

>AI demoralizing thread no. 746284
Fuck off. I will continue learning 3D.

Bla bla

>>1012610 (OP)
That's why you learn graphics programming to make the tools to do 3D modeling. AI can't write a good shader for shit.

>whats the point of doing something
because it's fun? interesting? why play an instrument when a professional musician out there already plays it better than you?

I thank God everyday I wasn't born with the loser gene OP has along with so many others that prevent them from doing things they enjoy. people like you quite literally do nothing all day except consume content because they feel like they can't achieve anything themselves - not because they cant do it, but because they won't even try. "but I have no time... but AI... but I'm not talented". lol

>>1012610 (OP)
>What's the point
Because AI is going to take your job, and when you have nothing to do you will have something to do
>>1015488
is right

When every job is gone and maybe we reach a point where you can live without worrying the only thing your gonna have to decide to do is either nothing or something based completely on what you decide. If your want is completely on the idea being praise based then assume that in period where everyone can make anything in less effort the final product is no longer the target of appreciation but the effort behind it is. Both facts come to same conclusion you should only be doing something that you have passion in.

indeed and that's not even considering advances in 3d scanning

>>1015488
>why play an instrument
they mostly don't need batteries or electricity but are still quite loud enough?

>>1015584
>Scanning
Scanning is nothingburger, it can only do things you have in real life, it cant do imaginary things or stylized things, just like how photography cant do what drawing does. AI on the other hand can do almost anything, with the only limitation being control over the output, but uncreative or unimaginative people don't really care about that.

>>1012610 (OP)
there isn't one
sure, I can painstakingly calculate all the digits of pi from scratch, or I can just use a calculator, a computer, or even AI for that too
that's coming for anything that can be done exclusively on a computer, even video editing isn't safe
