I've explored a reliable method to create high-quality, style-consistent #game assets w. #StableDiffusion
We're just scratching the surface here & I believe this can become a very potent creation tool (like a "@procreate on AI-steroids"🤔)
A demonstration with... spellbooks 🧵

Spellbooks are another ubiquitous asset in heroic #fantasy games, tabletop games, D&D, etc.
However (like for potions), the Unity/Unreal asset stores have limited choice, and most assets have a rather simplistic design.
Here's how #AI can solve such a situation.

At first, I generated a set of 38 "random" spellbooks, which I used to train a finetune model of Stable Diffusion (Dreambooth). It took 1 hr.
I then explored a set of possibilities with simple prompts and or limited modifiers (intricate, detailed, beautiful, 3D render...)

Done with this. Kept it as just a driveable brushwork, and as much texture details as poss. Also enabled shading to help define the geometry. And swap wheel textures upon acceleration. Might be surpising, it's not easy with #Carmageddon.

To make things easier; I translated the gradients from the Ion Fury palette to arbitrarily selected ranges in the C1 palette (ouch my eyes). Then used a custom #BRender shadetable to assign new gradients (i.e. red, grey, yellow) to these ranges (and enable shading).
Had to resort to a complicated setup of intersecting planes moving along the rear suspension to try and fake the wheel texture swap as the car accelerates.
Did quick ports of Crashers models to #Carmageddon 2. Not sure I'll do them properly as there's a lot of work to split the textures and their uvw maps.
Here's what they look like in software mode (256 colors, no texture size limit).

And here's what they look like in Glide mode 😆 (16-bit high color, 256x256 texture size limit)
This is why I'd have to split the textures/uvw maps...
