Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the world of 3D modeling, particularly within 3ds Max. Let’s delve into how AI is transforming concept development and visualization work:

1. Concept Art with AI

• Concept artists play a crucial role in delivering design options before committing to full-scale modeling. This step is essential for cost-saving.
• Traditionally, concept artists create sketches, mood boards, and use tools like 3ds Max and Photoshop to visualize ideas.
• AI software now generates concept art based on text-based input. Users can describe their vision, and the AI scans the internet, identifies styles, and combines elements to create visuals.
• For instance, a user might input: “Organic building style similar to [artist name], set inside an urban environment at sunset, with dark blue metal, glass, and concrete.” The AI rapidly produces results based on these descriptions.
• While AI is still learning, it produces iterations incredibly quickly.

2. Streamlining Iterations

• Concept artists can remain flexible and deliver multiple options faster (usually within days).
• AI helps reduce redundant steps by automating the creation of visual concepts.
• Instead of manually blending images or using 3D software, AI interprets user input and generates relevant visuals.

3. Visualization Workflow

• Teams coordinate with clients to determine project needs, size, and style.
• Concept artists translate these requirements into visual form.
• AI assists by rapidly creating concept art based on user descriptions.
• The process caters to client expectations and involvement levels.
