Real-Time Rendering and AI Assistants for Authors 🤖
A highlighted development area is the integration of digital tools into creation. Tablets with optical pens that offer nearly imperceptible latency and real-time rendering software for 3D modeling are showcased. Language-based AI assistants help with documentation tasks, basic concept generation, and workflow management, streamlining processes without replacing the artist's vision.
