No.

3D is stable as well if you're good at it.

metahuman felt way too restrictive when i used it during the beta. the tech is impressive but it needs much finer editing available.

i don't know if thats changed since i last used it. i don't think its for people who actually know how to sculpt and build a decent looking human face personally, aka its for anatomylets. take from that what you will.

For /3/ chuds, there is obviously no bright future. I howewer, have a very bright one with my skills that I'm progressing on. My Asuka model turned out to be super prettier than expected!

Its fancy but at its core its just a better daz studio.
It creates figure that can fill your scene, but not protagonists. They are boring and regular, there is nothing special about them. Nobody with a shred of creativity would use this to create the hero of their story.

You're asking the wrong question as I see it. Nobody actually knows what the future is gonna be so you just have to live now and adapt to changes as they come. Working in 3D brings me more happiness and fulfillment than anything else so there's no way I'm going to abandon it out of fear that something out of my control might happen who knows how many years in the future. I don't even know what else I would be doing with the bulk of my time because everything else sounds completely unappealing in comparison. That being said I'm also learning other skills on the side and networking with people who do other things so all my eggs aren't in one basket.

And you can inform your choices on what to be doing on the side based on your interest in 3D. If you like modelling you'll probably also like woodworking etc.

The tl;dr of this is if you're wasting time worrying about this instead of gitting gud you're ngmi

It's inevitable that 3D programs would be able to do everything on its own (model and texture from images, etc), but there's still going to be people who need to guide AI no matter how good it is. It's not like it can make a feature film that looks great with a click of a button. The only lasting effect AI would have in the long run is that entry-level jobs would be like a supervising job-- aka 'supervising' the AI, and that's only when it becomes good enough to do complete tasks autonomously.

People who meme about AIs don't know anything about them at all.

Corporations would use them now if they were potent, but it requires a laaaaarge dataset and it fucks it up most of the time.

Metahumans are human model generators geared towards realism.
Some games and films could eventually use them, but not every game needs to be realistic.
And even if you used metahumans, you'd want some kind of accessories and clothes for them.

It's a growing field, both in terms of advertising and entertainment.

>Do you have a fear that in 5 years+ 3d artists will be unnecessary?
Not really? While AI can make decent scans and replications of 3d objects, it lacks the creative and artistic flair a real human could add to a project. While AI can be a wonderful tool it's no substitution for a human artist.

>A friend of mine said it was better to go to work in IT, because IT has a more stable future than 3D
IT has its own pitfalls, it's a constantly adapting industry and becoming 'outdated' is a constant threat. If arts your thing and your open to adapt 3D modeling is as stable as any other job. Even if the art sector is take over we still need digital draftsmen, architects and engineers.

While AI can be scary, it's more of a tool than a worker.

It's cruel to dress your own cope posting as advice for a budding artist. AI increases artist througput -> price of art plummets -> artist starves. The market for entertainment cannot grow 10x to meet 10x increase in art production capacity.

Looks like you're the one who's coping. I don't understand some of you guys who are so pessimistic about this when nothing is really happning yet, I can't even get a good retopo solution, while you think I'm gonna be out of a job, like, tomorrow. That's probably not gonna happen any time soon unless something fundamentally changes about 3D graphics workflows. Seems like you subconsciously want it to happen just so you can cope with the fact you haven't managed to reach success in this field and so you want for everyone else to feel the same way.

First of all, those absolutely suck.

Second people don't want some generated garbage. Devs are generating thousands of games & assets with code and they do not get any attention because the art sucks. Simple as that.

100% is impossible to generate a coherent artistic style that actually catches on vs. one made by hand. It's not just the picture but it's also the idea behind the art that makes it useful as art.

Wanted to make some stupid joke but might as well share some experience.
I work in a big ~1000 people studio as a character lead and we are always looking for good artsist, so far there isnt even any plans to use any procedural shit, and while we use 3d scans a lot and more each year we need more and more people to clean them up, rebake, resuclpt and prep blend shapes.
We crate internally a lot of systems that blend existing models and maps, systems to reuse rigs and transfer skinning easily, but all those libraries have to be made by someone.

Dunno how it will look in 25 years, but looking at big upcoming projects we will work at we will need only more and more people and we are forced to outsource more and more due to shortage in experience staff department.
