A renowned Game Designer and VFX Artist Jussi Kemppainen has recently showcased a new practical application of text-to-image generative AIs. Using Unity, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, the creator has managed to set up a playable 2.5D adventure game prototype with fully-generated visuals. According to the developer, the AIs helped him to save roughly two days of work on the character and three on the location.
Moreover, Jussi has also shared a massive 2-part breakdown, describing the pipeline behind the project, discussing the process of creating characters and environments using artificial intelligence and showing how to blend the two together, explaining how the lighting was set up, and more. You can access both parts of the breakdown here and here.
