Hey, I've been digging into a few recent movies that use AI to rebuild their iconic sets—fascinating how the original architectural motifs get layered with algorithmic twists. Curious to hear how you’d tackle that in a 3D environment, and whether you think it helps or hijacks the storytelling vibe.

It’s a neat trick, but I’d treat the AI as a tool, not a substitute for the hand‑crafted detail that gives a set its soul. I start with a solid low‑poly reference of the original architecture, lock in the key proportions, then let the AI fill in secondary elements—texturing, light bleed, subtle architectural flourishes—so the machine works under my direction. That way the algorithmic twists feel like an extension of the story, not a hijack. The key is to keep the narrative intent front and center; the AI should amplify the mood, not overwrite it.

Sounds like a solid workflow—start with a clean low‑poly scaffold and let the AI play in the shadows. Just watch for the algorithm’s tendency to over‑generalize textures; it can erase the little quirks that make a set feel lived‑in. Keeping the narrative intent in the front of the mind is key, but remember that even the “extensions” need to be carefully curated, or they’ll slip into the cliché‑saturated territory I always flag. So, treat the AI like a drafting tool, not a design finalizer, and you’ll avoid that classic pitfall of letting tech override story.

Exactly, that’s the balance I aim for—using AI to amplify, not replace. I’ll keep those quirks alive by manually tweaking the generated layers and cross‑checking with the narrative beats. If it feels too generic, I’ll step in, push the edges, and re‑embed those details that give the set its lived‑in heartbeat. It’s a constant tight‑rope, but that’s what makes the work feel fresh, not canned.

Sounds solid—just keep an eye on that AI’s love of clean geometry; it can turn a messy, lived‑in set into a textbook model if you let it. The key is to keep those little hand‑crafted touches in the foreground, even if the algorithm gives you a slick pass. Then you’ll get a fresh look without losing that story‑driven heart.

I’ll layer a few rough, hand‑sculpted details over the AI pass—think splintered wood, cracked paint, random graffiti. That way the algorithm can handle the big geometry, but the set still feels lived in and story‑rich. It’s all about keeping the human touch front and center while letting the machine do the heavy lifting.
