From sketch to A.I. model?

AI agent learns to create 3D objects from sketches using CAD software

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today's physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending a final version to a production line. But the software is notoriously complicated to learn, with...

One of the things I hope people do is use Trek Novel art as I put to flesh out the rest of the art.

Or alternatively, you don't put someone's copyrighted work through an art theft machine.

There might come a time where an artist in bad health needs those helps.

Ares from Axanar, though computer generated—wasn’t A.I., but many questioned how far fair use goes.

The guys at UGH models got C&Ds for having physical models of other designs…which is stifling.

One of the more interesting things I have seen done on Reddit months back was from an individual who enlarged the heads of grown individuals in a photograph…and they looked like schoolgirls. I forget the subreddit.

I think the attacking kids in WEAPONS are only just now possible….even sugar glass could get into the eye. 2011’s THE THING may have disappointed some—but things have become more realistic…for good or ill.

For Art’s Sake

Hackers can be a strange folk. Our idea of beauty, for instance, can be rather odd. This week, Hackaday saw a few projects that were not just functional – the aesthetics were the goal. I don’t thin…

I was thinking of a design for HMS Enterprize and so far I've come up with basing it on the Liberator from Blake's 7, coloured TARDIS blue, and shuttlecraft based on Starbug.

If you didn't know already and want a free tool for a painterly look, there is UCUPAINT for Blender.
I've never heard of it before, tried it out just now. I have to say it's very good. You can paint in layers just like any other draw/paint software.

Not that my example is anything to look at but it was very easy to paint directly onto the 3d object compare to ordinary texture-paint i think. Watched this tutorial on how to get started with it, i only cared about the very beginning but it seems like the tool can do similar things like substance. Also there is a free brush-pack that is linked in the video.

Need to work more on sculpting.
WIP, sculpting a skull from a UV sphere, remeshed 3 times.
Just eyeballing the reference and pretty low-poly so its a bit wonky for now.

Followed an amazing Blender tutorial, building a jeep from scratch to uv-unwrapping and finally texturing with UcuPaint. I have been looking at a lot of tutorials, this is probably the best i've seen.

Here is the link to the first of six videos in the tutorial:
