In today's rapidly evolving world, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries and unlocking new realms of creativity. Join me on a journey as I harness the power of AI to craft compelling 3D models for my game development endeavors.
As we stand on the brink of unprecedented potential, it's crucial to adapt and evolve with emerging technologies. In this tutorial, I delve into the realm of AI-driven tools to streamline and enhance the game development process.
The first step in any creative endeavor is ideation. Instead of wracking my brains for hours, I leverage Sidekick, a revolutionary AI tool integrated into my game design software. With Sidekick's assistance, generating ideas for a new defense turret becomes a breeze. Say hello to the Tesla turret, a visionary addition to my game's arsenal.
With the blueprint in hand, it's time to visualize the Tesla turret. Majorly, an AI-powered image generator, transforms textual prompts into stunning 2D visuals. While fine-tuning the output takes some finesse, Majorly ultimately delivers the precise depiction I envisioned.
In the realm of 3D modeling, KDIM emerges as a game-changer. This AI tool seamlessly converts 2D images into intricate 3D models. Witnessing my Tesla turret materialize in 3D within minutes showcases the sheer brilliance of AI-driven modeling.
While AI aids in conception and design, programming remains a hands-on task. Leveraging Unreal Engine's capabilities, I imbue the Tesla turret with dynamic functionality. From detecting enemies to unleashing electrifying attacks, the Tesla turret embodies the fusion of AI and manual craftsmanship.
Taking complexity up a notch, I venture into creating a new enemy character Bob, the Stone Golem. Despite the challenges in obtaining the ideal reference images, KDIM's prowess in generating a low-poly model sets the stage for Bob's entry into the game.
Mixamo serves as my go-to platform for animating Bob, infusing him with personality and flair. Despite minor hiccups in the animation process, Bob emerges as a formidable adversary, ready to challenge players with his powerful attacks.
