Key ideas in The Post-Digital Artist's Strategy
- AI as super-texturing for flexible geometry
- Optimal hand-off timing in production
- ControlNet as structural guardrails
- Map types for compositional problems
- The 3D geometry must act as the 'anchor' for the AI's variations
- Batch processing Img2Img is the primary way to bypass manual 'grunt work' in texturing
- ControlNet allows for structural 'guardrails' that prevent AI hallucination
- The workflow sequence for using AI as a variation engine for 3D assets
- Chiaroscuro or 'rim lighting' triggers specific high-contrast latent spaces
- Negative prompts like 'cgi, render, plastic' force the model toward organic textures
- Technical lighting terms override the default flat lighting of base models
- Token weighting (e.g., [skin texture:1.2]) emphasizes material physics over default smoothing
- Using negative prompting and weights to remove the 'plastic' AI look
- Over-prompting creates a technical constraint
- Technical lighting terms override default flat lighting
- Threshold of technical tokens limits visual range
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives The Post-Digital Artist's Strategy the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
