AI recreations EQ Monsters

[blacktalon]

With these images I ended up creating a whole classic eq trailer with them. You can check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiH7WLTwm9M

This project probably took 3 weeks on and off and some coin with all the regenerations to make things work properly. Hope you enjoy! Thinking of doing some other zones perhaps.

[shovelquest]

I love the way you lined up that tower.

[blacktalon]

Thats funny...I actually didn't do that on purpose I just threw it on there.

[Ekco]

got the AI images without the references overlayed?

image to video that shit.

I did image to video it in the link at the top. Made a whole trailer but I used Kling Ai.

[Ekco]

oh shit. yeah didn't read. my bad.

edit: yeah looks dope, i can't wait until we can just dump all the text from a book into a LLM and have it create a movie. i'd rather watch the version AI makes like the "Balenciaga style" movie trailers than whatever HBO is making right now for their Snow Crash adaptation for example.

This is incredible! I really hope you do more of them

The only ones I didnt recognize were the Ogres. The one in the beginning I thought was a Orc and the one near the end I thought was an undead dwarf

Thanks. Yeah some were off for sure. I supposed the first one is how I always say myself as an ogre. I'm going to try later to get the classic ogres and trolls down for sure rather than looking more orcish.

That end bit looks like a croc.

Also, the only and best use of A.I. thank you.

I loved the crook at then as well. Nice touch.

The music and sound effects are so great!

Someone finally mentioned the crook! Thanks, was a task to get it in there.

[Reiwa]

I love the ugly gnome magician 🤩

[shovelquest]

How about that Deathfist orc? That's incredible. Guess that's why he in the thumbnail..

It's great. These things will be entertaining for about 5 months.

You think I lie? All these engines are about as endearing as autotune. Anything anyone can do always has a short shelf life. Look at the Twist. It came and went, ya know?

Cool kids wear crocks my guy. This skibbidty is here to stay.

you're confusing VR goggles with tech that just enabled companies to fire 95% of their code monkeys

this is the most disruptive tech to be invented since the automobile, gun powder, diesel tractor or whatever else u want to use as an example.

we're gonna see UBI or insane government funded work programs due to the amount of unemployed here in about 2 years

[Snaggles]

This is great! Thanks for sharing :)

[shovelquest]

how did you even get like a polygonal face, did you actually feed it EQ model shots?

No, I totally know what you are talking about. I meant, these AI graphic generations. These are very amusing. Lots of people are creating pretty freaky stuff that really makes you wonder how they did it, the quality of the generation, and so forth.

But since these things can be generated ad infinitum, well.

Remember when people would put a poster of a fractal up on their dorm room wall? I do. I remember when there were $$$ coffee table books with fractal images in them.

That's gonna happen with this stuff too. After 10,000 "this is what xyx AI said my life looks like!" posts, one gets weary.

either that or there will be no movie theaters on the starship enterprises'

and the gunnery captain can program an entire world in the hollodeck.

Covid was a test of how stable the system is if, well, no one, or very few people, are actually working. It turns out we could easily make this system operate with a one-day work week. But socially, that's another question. Covid was this "it's pandemic!" scenario that allowed for a one-off chance to test, if something like a UBI and drastically shorted work week can operate the machines. It can, easily.

Now we have to figure out how to transition to it.

Popcorn, is all I can say. Lots and lots of popcorn will be needed.

edit: and for those who say, what about construction? You can't have 500 people working on a 100 person job just because everyone only works one day a week, that isn't how construction operates, naturally that kind of work would be done in chunks of the person's time. Stints in the field, so to speak. Much like the national guard operates, correct?

[shovelquest]

As long as I can strap on a VR helmet, and play EQ with OPs graphical upgrades.

I'll be happy!

[Shourty]

That is an amazing video.
If it was a virtual reality game, that's what it should look like

No good artists and engineers are going to waste their time putting together reinvisioned EverQuest teaser trailers. This is basically fan art. It’s fun for fun-sake.

The future is fraught with problems but not because someone likes EQ and spent time daydreaming what it would look like in 2025 using modern tools.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

Yeah. I was agreeing with Ekco that these amusing things are not really the show here.

The real show is, you will be told you need to start training Bernie, you new AI boss robot at the Speedway.

[Krunchy]

That is cool, and this hits better with me playing in Oasis with my Druid right now

Love it, thanks for sharing!
