Generative AI & r/Blender

It's overdue that we had some discussion about modern generative techniques, their impact on r/Blender, and what kind of changes the community would like to see made in response.

This matter is almost certainly the single most controversial issue this community has seen, and it's also perhaps the hardest to cleanly address. I don't believe that a single change or a single discussion with the community will be enough to address the impact of these new technologies so I intend to hold multiple discussions to work fine details out.

For now, I'd like to start things off as simply as possible by asking that the community express any complaints they may have about how these new techs have affected r/Blender.


Edit: I feel I should clarify:

Pieces which have been made exclusively/predmoninantly using generative AI are already against the rules, and that has always been the case.

Specifically, rule #2 which has existed for longer than these technologies has always prohibited them.

I want the focus here to be on the tangible impacts you have observed generative AI having on how you interact with r/Blender.

Some models i created during last 1-1.5 year

Started from donut almost like 4 years ago, with 0 knowledge in 3d at all. Sometimes i dropped 3d during to some circumstances. Then discovered sculpiting and freedom to create what i want. Here are some examples
Edit. Thank you all for your kind words. Sending hugs for everyone

Edit. If you want to follow me, here is my artstation, i sometimes drop my creation there https://www.artstation.com/turus

First time finishing a character asset, so it took a little while but I think it was worth it. Had a lot of fun making it

'Beyond The Bookshelves': I've been working on this cozy little library, and I finally reached a point where I'm happy enough to share it.📚✨

I've just finished the main environment for my next animated short. This time I'm aiming for a warm, storybook-inspired look with painterly lighting and stylized shaders rather than realism. The story takes place in a magical library where a boy is quietly reading before something unexpected happens... I'm still experimenting with the lighting, hair shader, and materials, so any feedback is more than welcome. Thanks for taking a look! 😊

If you'd like to support my work, I've left links to my other social media profiles in the comments. It really means a lot—thank you! ❤️
