The Korean studio Neowiz, responsible for the acclaimed Lies of P, has published a job offer for a generative AI creator in its art department. The company seeks to integrate tools like Stable Diffusion or Midjourney into its production pipeline. The goal is clear: combine human talent with the speed of artificial intelligence to increase efficiency and maintain the visual quality of its upcoming titles.
AI applied to concept art and 3D modeling 🤖
The job responsibilities range from generating concept art for characters and backgrounds to working on AI-assisted texturing. The candidate will also assist in 3D modeling from images and train specific models for the studio. Additionally, they will handle post-processing and high-resolution upscaling. Neowiz requires staying up to date with trends in generative AI, suggesting a firm commitment to this technology in its development pipeline.
Human artists, fear not: AI is only here to make sketches 🎨
Let no one be alarmed. Neowiz is not looking to replace its artists, but rather to give them a digital assistant that never asks for coffee or complains about schedules. Of course, the new employee will have to deal with an AI that sometimes generates characters with six fingers or backgrounds that look like they came from an LSD dream. All in the name of efficiency and maintaining the dark style of Lies of P without having to wait weeks for a sketch.
