Dreamlight 3D: Modify Daz Renders with ComfyUI Without Making them Photoreal

Dreamlight3D has released a tutorial on how to modify Daz renders with ComfyUI without making them look photoreal - they still look like Daz renders. Examples include changing hair color, replacing background characters and outfits, and switching poses without having to re-render in Daz.

I stopped using Daz last month, but thought those of you thinking of dabbling in AI might find this aspect of the tech rather useful for your 3D art.

 
Cool video. I wonder how many will skip it just because it "AI", LOL.

I would be interested in trying it, but if i am going to use AI, I would want to make the figures look more realistic and less like DAZ figures, LOL

Ditto. I started the same thread on AU, partly to see what the responses might be like. There are a lot of artists over their who are vehemently apposed to AI for all the same reasons you and I used to share. I'd like to know if their convictions are strong enough to deny themselves the benefits of tweaking their 3D art without having to re-render it.

It's funny, I was talking to a guy I know who is a traditional artist and makes a living at it. he used to have the same moral/ethical objections to AI as i did, until he discovered how many animals are harmed in creating art supplies and the slave labor that goes into creating some of them. He then weighed that with how AI is trained and then started to try AI and now uses it often along side his traditional art.
 
I have nothing against AI, but that seems like a really stupid and time wasting way to use it. Now if you were to use the 3D program to pose the models then use AI for the rest of it, that would make sense. But to throw a picture into AI just to change the clothes or hair color? You shouldn't have been using a 3D program to start with.

With what Dreamlight is suggesting here you are spending either entirely too much time in the 3D program, or too much time in AI, or both.

Making a 3D scene photoreal with AI, that makes sense, using AI to create the background, or an asset you don't have in your library, yeah I can see it. Minor tweaks to the picture? It's just a stupid use of AI.
 
How much time are you spending setting up the AI, giving it directions, etc? I realize Dreamlight was just giving a quick and dirty demonstration, but what we have there is AI slop. Nobody, and I mean nobody renders a scene then goes "Oh, I wanted two of the girls to be guys in tuxedos". Yes, I would rather redo the render in 3D, which may require computer time but doesn't require mine, then firing up an AI instance, finding and loading a scene, then thinking up text prompts to give AI.

Or just skipping 3D altogether and using AI, which I am pretty sure can create 3D looking art on it's own if anybody wanted to bother.

Now if I didn't have a style of tuxedo that I wanted, like I said, I can see rendering the scene with the guys in their birthday suits and adding the tuxedos in AI, but that's a plan ahead of time.

AI is just another tool, and while you can hammer in screws all day it's a really stupid thing to do.
