Utilizing Generative AI for Look Dev in CG Anime Production
DescriptionCan 3DCG animation match and even surpass the unique appeal of hand-drawn anime?
In Japan, hand-drawn anime has evolved in its own unique way and is deeply rooted in the culture. 3DCG animation has always faced this as a major obstacle. As a solution, we are researching ways to control "uncontrollable" generative AI and use it to create staged anime images. At the same time, our goal is to create new visual expressions that go beyond the limits of hand-drawn animation. We aim to further advance creativity by having human artists direct AI. In this talk, though we are still in progress, we will introduce our new approach and workflow. This workflow is only possible in 3DCG production where we are able to eliminate the rendering process and generate the final images from the 3DCG preview images.
