Look who comes to AI side - Daz Studio AI: Desperation or Realization?
TLDRThe video discusses 3D's decision to reintroduce AI-generated content despite initial resistance from artists. It explores the launch of Studio Do AI, a tool that allows users to create images using a limited number of free images or a subscription plan. The tool offers a range of models, environments, and lighting options, but lacks advanced controls and customization. While it's seen as a clever way to support 3D artists, concerns arise about its late entry into a competitive market with more sophisticated alternatives available.
Takeaways
- 🚀 3D announced a year ago that they would not allow AI-generated content in their store, but have now introduced their own AI tool, Studio EII, entering the AI market.
- 🎨 Studio EII allows users to create 3D models and scenes by selecting characters, environments, and lighting, but does not produce 3D content itself, relying on independent artists' creations.
- 💰 The introduction of Studio EII has raised concerns among 3D artists about the impact of AI on their market, as people might opt for AI-generated images over purchasing 3D models.
- 📉 Sales for some 3D artists have reportedly declined due to the rise of AI, which can generate images based on text inputs, questioning the need for buying 3D models.
- 🧠 Studio EII's AI works by creating Luras, or AI models, based on specific products, allowing users to render these products in their scenes, a clever approach to integrating AI with 3D artistry.
- 💡 The service offers a free version with limited image creation and a subscription model that is significantly cheaper than competitors like Mid Journey.
- 🎭 Users can select characters, environments, and lighting from D Studio's own creations, and render them in their scenes, but the customization options are currently limited compared to other services.
- 📉 The interface and capabilities of Studio EII are considered by some to be too basic and late to the market, with more sophisticated competitors already offering advanced features.
- 🤔 There is skepticism about whether Studio EII will succeed, as it faces strong competition and may not offer enough innovation or quality to stand out.
- 🌐 The success of Studio EII could potentially provide another revenue stream for artists and creators, but there are concerns it might not live up to expectations, similar to 3D's previous venture with NFTs.
Q & A
What was 3D's initial stance on AI-generated content?
-3D initially announced that they would not allow AI-generated content in their store, responding strictly to the outcry of some 3D artists who believed AI was negatively impacting their work.
How did 3D artists express their concerns about AI?
-3D artists were concerned that AI could potentially replace the need for purchasing 3D models, as AI could generate almost any image desired with just text input, leading to a decline in their sales and interest in their work.
What is the new tool introduced by 3D in response to the AI market?
-3D introduced a tool called Studio EII, which allows users to create images using a selection of characters, environments, and other elements within their platform, competing with other AI-based services.
How does Studio EII differ from other AI image generation services?
-Studio EII is integrated within the 3D platform and utilizes models and structures created by independent artists, making it unique in that it supports the 3D artist market and allows them to earn revenue from their models used in AI-generated images.
What are the limitations of Studio EII's free version?
-The free version of Studio EII allows users to create a limited number of images, with low priority for rendering. It also lacks advanced features such as control nets for posing and does not offer the same level of customization and quality as some other AI services.
How does 3D plan to support 3D artists with Studio EII?
-By allowing 3D artists to earn revenue from their models used in AI-generated images, 3D aims to preserve the 3D artist market. The exclusivity of using the models for EII renders within the platform provides a sense of security for the artists regarding the use of their work.
What are the potential downsides of Studio EII according to the script?
-The interface and capabilities of Studio EII are considered limited compared to other, more sophisticated AI services on the market. The lack of advanced controls and the potential for the tool to be seen as 'over-sweetened' may lead to users preferring the hands-on experience of creating with traditional 3D tools.
How does the script describe the competition Studio EII faces?
-The script mentions other AI services like NightCafe, which offer more credits and customization options, making them strong competitors for Studio EII. The competition is fierce, and Studio EII may struggle to stand out with its current limitations.
What is the speaker's overall opinion on Studio EII?
-The speaker views Studio EII as a clever idea to support 3D artists but expresses concern that it may be too little, too late. They worry about the limited capabilities and the potential for the tool to not live up to the expectations set by competitors.
What does the speaker suggest about the future of AI in 3D art?
-The speaker hopes that AI will continue to provide another revenue stream for artists and creators but is cautiously optimistic, noting that it could also be a flop, similar to 3D's previous venture with NFTs.
What advice does the speaker give to those interested in trying Studio EII?
-The speaker encourages interested parties to try the free version of Studio EII to form their own opinions on the quality and functionality of the tool, acknowledging that they themselves are excited about the opportunities but also worried about its potential shortcomings.
