I've seen quite a few games (mostly visual novels) with AI generated art being made and there seems to be more each passing day (see AI Art Games).
What's your opinion on AI art in games at its current state?
I personally feel like most of them struggle with one or many of the following points:
What's your opinion on AI art in games at its current state?
I personally feel like most of them struggle with one or many of the following points:
- Maintaining a Unified Artistic Vision: There's often a noticeable disconnect between the art of the background and the foreground. Characters just feel out of place sometimes.
- Character Consistency Issues: Characters also tend to morph. Their proportions and the level of detail changes between scenes
- Lack of Environmental Continuity: Even if the background and foreground (characters, objects, etc) are rendered separately, iterative changes on a given scene/environment (say a new hidden object appears in the background) are non-existent in a lot of AI games.
- Animated Scenes: Visual novels that use another game engine to render the scenes can also easily generate smooth animated scenes. AI visual novels just can't.
