Those sort of things are easy to do with procedural textures. You’re example isn’t even tileable.

Well of course not, AI did it in 1 minute. 🤣

It did get maybe 90% there in a minute which is faster than a person would do it. Not a perfect tile, maybe take a few more interations. But not awful for cobbled together in a minute, and if your job is to come up with 50 or 100 different textures, still better than doing it by hand.

But as I noted, there are also already royalty free libraries for this stuff as well.

I don’t think you know anything about texturing. Even if you eventually got to a point where it gave you something usable it’s not going to be consistent.

If you’re job is to create 100+ textures and you’re only able to get 90% of the way there for each variation, you’re fucked. You can create infinite variations of a texture with procedural once your initial setup is done. AI couldn’t even get a basic bitch texture right how is it going to deal with more complex textures?

Not at all wrong, just showing what can be done with virtually zero effort and time.

I could most likely perfect it in a few minutes more, still a fraction of the time of doing it by hand. I’m not extending a proof of concept to win arguments on the Internet. 😉

But as I noted at the bottom of the comment, which apparently nobody bothered to read, there are ALREADY royalty free libraries for this kind of thing. So it also has to be faster than searching libraries that are already there.

Of course that action is it’s own time sink as anyone who has gone looking for “the perfect font” can tell you.

It’s not really a proof of concept if it doesn’t even meet the only mildly challenging criteria laid out…

You’re getting roasted because you basically did the equivalent of going, “well I asked ChatGPT and it said, [demonstrably wrong answer]”.
