I make the best AI pixel art tools in the industry :)

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

I just added 3D low-poly model generation to Retro Diffusion!

Create super high quality low poly models with pixel art textures in minutes. Then animate them however you want with just a prompt!

Check it out on the site and the API/MCP!

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

Oh look, an insufferable artist who does zero research before making a completely false claim.

How rare.

[JoyJoi! @_JoyJoi]

@RealAstropulse You're being disingenuous if you claim you trained an entire AI model exclusively on your own work. Even if some people let you use their own work. You don't have enough training data to make your own ethical model. So stop trying to play victim, just make your shit and shut up.

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@_JoyJoi I did, in 2022.

A whole model with all my own data, making it cost me $20k, and it's what started all of this.

You have no idea who I am or the work that I've done. Crawl back into your basement.

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

I did the first part, and it was early enough that the "environmental impact" (which is massively overblown) wasn't a factor.

Everyone hated me for it anyways. AI hatred is not a ration position, it is emotional. Nothing you ever do to make it "ethical" will be enough for them.

[zylumi (˶◜ᵕ◝˶) @zylumimaxx]

I don't personally support/like AI art, but I had an interesting question

Do you think AI art would be ethical if someone made the model themselves, trained it off their own hand drawn art ENTIRELY, then donating an upper bound of "environmental impact cost" to charities?

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

Size matters in pixel art, so now you can make any image from 16px to 512px.

Plus it's faster, cheaper, and more fun to use 😎

@MikeBrave_Maker Bingo

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@kalin_t Oh absolutely, that's what I've been doing from the start.

Upset people don't phase me :)

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@popeelmo I heard it's worse, if you run a single google search you set a whole rainforest on fire for a decade.

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

Someone took the work I did on pixel fixer, and made an even more accurate tool!

It's slower, but wow, seriously impressive work.

最近两周的研究成果 https://t.co/3gfZjqGIbd

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@rya_nooo Whoa! Nice job on this

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@AlexBinninger 😂This is a very good chart

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@VictorTaelin Nothing to be sorry for brother, and no of course it doesn't impact me, aside from wanting to see you have the resources you need to make more awesome stuff :)

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@VictorTaelin Totally fair, just worth reflecting on the course you're taking :)

I went a different way and couldn't be happier, everyone takes a different path. Just don't want to see you getting bitter and failing to see the truth, even in hurtful things.

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@Angaisb_ Modeling the geometry with llms, then I unwrap the UVs and pass that as the input condition to a diffusion model trained on UV textures :)

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

Fully modeled, rigged, mapped, and textured minecraft-style entities coming soon!

Making assets for games mods has never been this easy

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@Bingeljell This was a great idea- added a hybrid mode to my harness, so now it can route models better using opus as a coordinator

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

Yeah they did something to opus 5.5, its burning through my sub like 4x faster than a couple weeks ago.

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@TheSalesRoo 🥲

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@ril0sk Go to bigger online models sooner instead of trying to cram big models onto laptops 😂

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

It was today, 4 years ago, that I released the very first version of Retro Diffusion.

I made a single $65 sale, to one of my friends who had been waiting for it to come out.

Come a long way since then

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@topphamilia I definitely do not love it the most haha. It was necessary, and the best thing at the time, but every day i improve things and love it more 😎

[Astropulse @RealAstropulse]

@TheAhmadOsman Refusals are not hard to prevent... at least not on opus or fable 5.1.
