其实无论是通过cg的途径或者AI的途径，最终要达到的那个高质量的目标终点是不变的，我感觉很可能最后两种技术手段会越来越趋同，cg的很多环节可以被ai加快效率，而ai需要越来越精确可控的方式而转向用cg辅助。另一个层面，就像Apple 近期的系列广告不仅不会采用aigc的创作方式，反而使用了更强化的手作的粘土定格动画来表达品牌对于创作者的尊重一样，匠心的过程本身也成了品牌叙事的一部分

你做的很棒!!!也并没有选择错误的方向。因为无论是最近的新片还是这支进击的巨人的致敬影片，都能够让人感受到无比的震撼，我敢说这个地球上没有几个人能够单枪匹马的做出这样的重量感。能够切身感受到你做为作者在背后投入的时间与巨大能量，这是AI视频无法比拟的，很不认同那些吹嘘着XX分钟可以做一样效果的人，他们除了花了钱帮模型厂商测试了下模型能力，以及做出一个看起来像那么一回事的东西，在商业上达不到一个基本的可交付成果的质量水平，在创作体验上也错过了最有乐趣的那一个部分。唯一的作用就是制造了一部分的焦虑。很多人本身并没有体验过真正的创作，创作的本质就是打磨，无论是不是用Ai，只有经历了这个过程，作品才能够触动人心。而AI流程的打磨要不CG流程痛苦的多。所以不用去理会那些拿着塑料棒棒糖🍭，舔完还觉得真香的人，你超强的！

I’m a human 3D artist. My Attack on Titan fan-made short film is a project I started in 2022 and released in June 2024. I redesigned all of the Titans myself. I didn’t use any AI, and I never made any money from this short film.

To be honest, I originally didn’t want to talk about this. In order to discuss it, I actually had to subscribe to X Premium.

Throughout 2025 and 2026, I started seeing more and more comments like this on my YouTube channel:

“Your one and a half years of work? I can make that with AI in 30 seconds.”
“I can do it in one minute.”
“I can do it in 90 seconds.”
So I started looking into it. The first AI short film I found was actually made by modifying footage from my original film, while being presented as an AI-generated work.
I felt pretty disappointed.

If you think AI can make something better than what I made, then please create something better from scratch.

I’ve always found it difficult to accept being mocked while my work is also being taken and reused.

Since 2018, I’ve been focused on creating the things I genuinely love. I’ve done it simply because I love creating, and I’ve never made a single cent from these works.

As a result, my financial situation has actually been quite difficult. For a while, I was really struggling with the thought that maybe I should have spent the past few years trying to make as much money as possible.

Was trying to make a living by creating the things I love just a foolish fantasy?

Then I watch Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. There’s one line in the series that really stayed with me:

“Being wrong doesn’t mean it was meaningless.”

So recently, I’ve slowly started to accept something.

If I don’t make the things I love, I don’t think I would be happy even if I had a job.

I’ll keep looking for a way forward. Whether that means working harder, finding ways to make money so I can continue making short films, or finding some other way, I still want to keep creating the things I love.

@Xie_BoLi 嗯呢，别太在意~ 很多评论其实其实是井底之蛙

I tried to use #nanobanana PRO to generate a #trimsheet based on illustration architecture and found the results amazing! Not only were the features and textures of large wall surfaces retained, but many small objects like doors and windows were also generated. It feels like achieving trim sheet freedom!

@fuzone https://t.co/UaznynltUV This piece itself is an AI work, generated by Midjourney

[Sun Somei @someidesign]

@Crypt0x420 @krea_ai yes,I use ,krea is like a platform has all kinds of models ,so I use nanobanana on that platform

[Sun Somei @someidesign]

😱 I realized I made a terminology mistake. This type of texture isn’t actually called a #trimsheet — it’s an #atlas. Sorry for the confusion! I still have a lot to learn when it comes to CG terminology.

But this method genuinely amazed me, so I really wanted to share it out :)

I’ve always struggled to find this type of texture, and in the past I often had to take photos from multiple angles and then manually stitch them together into a single image.

Thanks to the friend who pointed this out to me 🙏

Hey! Punk~ Yes, I always thought that this kind of non-perspective texture mapping for convenient UV mapping was called trimsheet. For a while, I was obsessed with searching for such textures, and using the keyword trimsheet made it easier to find similar results. I guess this might be one of the drawbacks of self-study haha; many basic concepts have never been corrected T-T

[Sun Somei @someidesign]

@ssgssRX93 いいえ、モデルはまだ手動で作成しています。AIを利用して投影しやすいテクスチャを生成し、UVの調整によって表面テクスチャを迅速にマッピングします。通常、中遠景の建物を作るときにはこのワークフローを使用します。

[Sun Somei @someidesign]

@thelazyforger it's a McQue style AI image generated by Thomas Boldsen @midjourney 🙏

[Sun Somei @someidesign]

@SinTryBest @Mrdodobird no,by hand XD

Loving their CG shorts — the visuals and the animation acting always feel so clean

@FlyPly3D https://t.co/dSfHZe1xOh , u can check the worflow here

[Sun Somei @someidesign]

@mussiahj11 I also don't know what this should be called, mainly hoping that AI can understand a combination image of large preserved wall surfaces and details.

[Sun Somei @someidesign]

@3D_director “Could you help me generate a trim sheet(atlas) using the texture from this building?” ,no feed uv .just image reference

[Sun Somei @someidesign]

tried a few different styles as well, and the success rate was really high XD

@3D_director yeah，direct generation from nanobanana pro
