Autodesk Upsets 3D Artists by Introducing a New Generative AI

Following the troubling trend of disregarding the community’s wishes and opinions in order to push the AI agenda, 3ds Max and Maya developer Autodesk has rolled out its new AI for generating 3D models, upsetting dozens of Digital Artists.

Dubbed Project Bernini, the AI allows users to generate 3D shapes from various inputs, including a single 2D image, multiple images depicting different perspectives of an object, point clouds, voxels, and text. According to Autodesk, this newly introduced model is just one of many generative AIs the company is working on, aiming to cater to various use cases across architecture, product design, and entertainment.
