My third and final video on AI background removal. It's time to stop playing games and actually start using it in production. Verdict: only two survived. And honestly? That's good enough.
Two weeks ago, I tested two AI background removers.
But two issues instantly popped up.
First, the setup was way too perfect: a bright room, a plain background, and zero real-world challenges.
Second, I missed the hype. Apparently, there are six other major AI models doing the exact same thing.
So last week, I pushed all six models to the absolute limit: a park at 2 a.m., with my ISO cranked to 2000 just so the camera could see.
I fully expected them all to fail miserably, maybe with only one barely scraping by.
To my shock, three of them didn't just survive; they actually managed to cut out individual strands of hair in near-total darkness.
I was genuinely blown away.
Now that we’ve found the absolute best of the best, it’s time for the ultimate final showdown.
We’re going back to original room lighting, but this time, it’s a brutal test focusing on two things: intricate hair detail, and how well the AI tracks a full body turnaround.
Two models clearly stand out, so much so, that I couldn't pick an absolute winner.
The good news? It narrows my choice down to just two models for all my future compositing work.
Which one looks best to you?
