Chaos' plans for AI are outlined at https://www.chaos.com/next
AI is a long way away from delivering the high quality, highly controllable means to generate specific results and then make specific changes, which means there will be no replacing of 3D modeling software and existing render engines any time soon (next 2 years or more at least). I've been experimenting with AI a lot, and so far my conclusion is "it is highly freeing, and highly restrictive, both at the same time". Things that are trivial in 3D modeling and rendering are currently impossible in AI generated imagery.
Where AI can help is in enhancing existing renders, or speeding up workflows in assembling scenes etc, and this is where our focus will lie for putting AI to good use. As for things in 5 years time, well we'll see when we get there (or before we get there to be honest, as we're watching the direction of everything).
Thank you for your reply
I wanted to inquire about the direction of those responsible for these 3D programs and their providers
Because this field took a lot from our lives in terms of learning and trying to hone the skill, and we are surprised by the presence of artificial intelligence, which destroyed all this long journey on which we worked for many years to try to understand scientific matters related to colors, art, learning software tools...etc.
It was frustrating, it was impossible to escape the fact that AI was superior, and every programmer knew that it relied on logic that was stronger than human logic.
Ultimately, humans created programming to do logical and complex operations for them
We cannot understand all this advanced complexity now
And of course with AI eventually it will take all our jobs, and that's a good thing because it will give us peace of mind.
We'll just do yoga
But from here until then it will be confusing and dangerous, especially for those working in this field
