Hi everyone, just finished the magnum opus of banners with the magic of AI. It's a tribute to 80s metal record covers, 80s movie posters, and of course all wrapped up in an ENF bowtie. Featuring my OG mascot that was created way back when I first started fiddling with DAZ3D. ENF Master, aka Enfie, aka the god of ENF, aka aka...well...basically ME :P.
Now, what is happening with the AI vs Daz3d thing? Well to give you a bit of a backstory, me and DAZ have been on a bit of a downward spiral as of late. You can kinda say we weren't talking if you wanna be cute cornball about it. Some scenes I was working on recently got corrupted and I was not able to access them, I could not load them at all. Which resulted in hours if not days of work being lost. I also lost a bunch of textures I had been working on for these scenes, and I didn't exactly have backups. It was painful, and not the first time it happened. I tried to restore from the previous session but to no avail. This led me to turn off DAZ for a bit and I started looking into this AI craze.
And let me tell you, this shit is absolutely fucking crazy. I have currently produced just over 1000 images. I have learned so much in the span of a few weeks. I have developed a borderline unhealthy obsession with this stuff because as a graphic designer, I can create pretty much create anything. Now I'm not sure how many of those images will see the light of day in the immediate future, but I can tell you I have some cool stuff coming up. There are still some DAZ things I will be posting from time to time and I also use DAZ to get some more intricate poses for the AI to work with. You can expect things like photo manipulations, series of story images, and commissions might make a comeback if I decide I have enough time.
As always I appreciate everyone's support, and I understand that the AI route may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is the route that we are headed to. Whether you decided to stay and support or go your separate way, just know I'm am eternally grateful for all the ENF soldiers.
