    This isn’t a tool to make good looking characters. You need the character art to start with, then this just applies a samey-aesthetic filter over the top of it which rerenders the whole scene from scratch, removing all the artistic intent behind everything visible.

    Those graphical lightning tools actually helped artists create a more immersive image, with light balancing more like it was expected to instead of painted on static shadows of old.

    This ai filter shit ignores light sources, purposely highlighted points of interest, and whatever else was painstakingly worked on.

    And as for not gatekeeping… Just running this requires a second graphics card, at a time when people can’t afford/find one… Because of AI slop centers

      No, you literally don’t.

      If character looks isn’t a concern (like random generic NPC’s in an RPG walking the street), you don’t need anything… just a blank face and let the AI fill it in with anything.

      How many times do you see the SAME person in something like Cyberpunk?

      This solves this, without the need for an artist to create 1000 different faces.
