I forgot, this resetera thread seems pretty dumb. "Staff have decided to place a soft ban on topics concerning AI content generation" Then a link to read more about why and it goes nowhere. And what a great mod reply.


35 years ago I ended up with a PCjr and "ColorPaint," I think it was called. Pixel by pixel I drew pictures of my G.I. Joes like an untalented 12 year old would.

Then Photoshop came out and they had the lasso tool and we no longer had to draw stuff pixel by pixel, you could take a preexisting image and manipulate it. Advanced happened, and so forth.

With Midjourney I can take a base image of a photograph that I took and run it through its processes and manipulate it into something cool that I can use for still images for the games I make. The "artistic" part, then, is getting the source image but then also describing exactly what I want it to be manipulated too. If I worked at Valve I'd just go get a set made or whatever, but as just one unfunded guy, it's cool and it's up to me to have a good enough description for the end product to be something I can use.

I had a picture of a floppy disk that I took and I was trying to get Midjourney to create an image where there were thousands of them scattered on a hill. I haven't successfully done that yet, the floppy disks don't look right. But I feel it can be done if I imagine what I want to see and give it the right description. I dunno. In this case I see it as a very useful tool.
