There needs to be a hard and fast rule banning vendors from using AI to enhance the images of Daz characters they are trying to sell in the market place.
There is one that showed up today (April 5th) that is clearly fraudulent, especially given the vendors history of work previous to AI being used to enhance their work.
This practice is completely dishonest and needs to be stopped before it spreads.

I agree, that's really strange. Today I came across this: https://www.renderhub.com/adelia774/willamina-aruna-for-genesis-8-female It even says "AI Was Used In Promo Images", but what's the point of that?

Yes, it's a real problem when sellers use AI in their product promotional images because ultimately, buyers get a distorted view of what they're buying.
They can always request a refund, but the risk is a loss of trust, especially if they don't get it.

I don't mind if they use a couple of promo images touched up with AI but it should be required to have the main promo image and the base of the rest to be regular iray renders.

That's what I've been saying. Just because you openly disclose your AI usage doesn't mean we can see what the actual product looks like.
It's especially shitty when ads show expressions that don't come from a morph you can use. Not helpful for a director evaluating what may or may not be useful.

Mon, Apr 06Thank you for providing clarification on RenderHub's AI policy on use of AI images in product promos. I'm going to be very wary when purchasing characters on RH. I'm in the market for 3D models, not AI art. If a vendor needs to show enhanced images of their 3D models in order to sell them, that makes me skeptical of the quality of the product.
I would have a lot more confidence in the products if the individual enhanced images were identified among the promos.

UPDATE: This was discussed at today's team meeting.
We plan to make a change to the product submission process.
If a vendor uses AI in their promo images, they will be required to indicate *which images* were AI-enhanced.
This indication will also appear *per image* on the product page, instead of the general notice that is there now.
Additionally, vendors will not be allowed to use AI on the main thumbnail image or primary promo image.
Per the owner, this is a priority update - so hopefully, we'll see this new functionality soon.

I remember the time when a lot of promos were enhanced by post-work. Some looked like a painting. Yet, somehow you could get a vague sense of what you are buying, but with AI it's literally not the case. I took a look at the links you provided and yes. I'd not buy.

Imho any postwork on product images, regardless wether they are done by an AI or HI, can be a problem if they imply that the original product yields such results without.
AI just makes it way more easy to go that way.

Tue, Apr 07There are vendors that do it the right way. They have the promos of the model at their base, and then, of course, the dolled-up, light postwork renders.
IMO, there's nothing mischievous about those; it's the ones that are solely relying on AI to make models that are an overall easy 4... look like a 10.

Well, the truth is you all know me, and some have strongly criticized me for uploading Daz3D + AI renders to my gallery... but I never did any promotion with AI. That's what I said in the other separate thread I've had since the end of 2019. So I'm not a newcomer and I've always been very honest, even if it hurts me. And because of personal issues and sometimes because of comments about my renders that openly claimed they were enhanced by AI, I haven't been making anything to sell for months, except for some freebies or uploading old freebies that I hadn't uploaded yet, which were from the Renderosity era, like the case of Ainara G8.I still maintain that AI is a good tool, and as such, it's important to know how to use it to avoid overusing it. In my case, for blending faces (of my characters in Face Fusion), I have many more than I've released...

Like Everwild said, AI is a crutch. Your new reliance on it might be a crutch that's holding you back instead of helping you.
Why do you feel like you need to use AI? You have proven that you're fully capable of creating without it. Maybe you should try getting back to doing exactly that.

There are images that, although based on my characters and Daz renders, I don't upload to the gallery because I left more room for the AI to do its own thing. I don't think to upload those images, except for the last portrait I uploaded of Raphel G8. But I'm sure that if I didn't mention it was enhanced with AI, it would get more likes, etc.

Wed, Apr 08and yet that Quinnie Azkadina product is still live to buy in the store?
Clearly the promos do not reflect anything CLOSE to what a customer will be able to get inside of Daz, are we really going to use our "safeharbor" to wait and see if someone complains enough to then pull the model down?
Using AI in promos is bad enough, but to try and claim that a G8F model does or can produce 100% lifelike photo real skin with only iray is downright fraud.
I've found a few vendors with nothing but full stores of content just like this and they are there just selling their stuff and frankly ripping off their customers, it's bad enough the game rip stuff sticks around here as long as it does, now we can just totally fake our promos till we get "called out enough?"
Please do better, know it or not, you are quickly becoming the only actual Daz store left after Daz themselves, IYKYK, if not... ask around I guess.

Fri, Apr 10In all honesty, no one should be using AI on their promo images hard stop!
Promo images are meant to show prospective buyers what the product looks like, and what they SHOULD expect if they buy it and install it.
When you start jacking up the contrast, or running AI filters over your promos YES it might look "better" but those images no longer represent what the buyer will experience once they install and try rendering.
I rarely even use expressions in my promos because what if the buyer doesn't have them and can't recreate the look, what if the buyers expect that expression to come with the product and they don't so now they want a refund.
IF you feel that you just "have to" start postworking the ever loving hell out of your promos OR use AI to make them look even better then they can via Daz, just take an extra few mins and drop those images into your graphic editor of choice and add "ARTISTIC RENDER" to one of the bottom corners of the image.
Now, despite what I just said, this only 100% applies to characters, clothing, hair and scenes (environments) if you're making and selling poses for example, go crazy, no one is buying poses based on how photo-real the models look, or how much contrast is in the shots, they are buying the POSES, so as long as you don't alter that, postwork, AI, "Artsy Fartsy" is fine in my book.

Nihilistic kid: Reads Nietzsche at 2 a.m., realizes the universe does not care, then either starts a band that writes songs about the void (that is not what I meant), or lies in bed for three days feeling the weight of cosmic indifference (the defeated one without hope).
Mindless kid: Same age (whatever that may be), has not read anything deeper than TikTok comments, scrolls endlessly until 4 a.m., eats cold pizza, and wonders why they feel empty but never connects it to anything bigger than "I need more likes."
One is a conscious philosophical stance. The other is the default setting most humans run on until something forces them to wake up.
But this is diluting the fact that if anyone is not interested in 3D and thinks AI is for them, what is the point of coming to a primarily 3D forum to tell artists (and in no way am I excluding the customers of this site from my definition of artists; if anything, they are greater than those of us who make things and have no time for that final, beautiful piece of art) that all their efforts and struggles do not matter and they should simply give up and use AI.

This is misleading. Customers will not always see the AI watermark or logo, and even if they do, there is no mention of what was enhanced.

This shouldn't even be an issue, if everyone was honest about such things. If everyone had something called integrity. AI should never be used to promote something modeled by a human for sale. And it shouldn't be allowed.
While having clear labels on such promotional images is a good step forward, again this shouldn't be an issue in the first place. But somehow yay unfettered capitalism, I guess?
And before anyone finally decides to call me a hypocrite, while yes I have been messing around with AI image generation since my beta invite to use DALL-E, I have made a clear delineation between the slot-machine and the hard work I have done for my original creations. Something that even social media sites can't seem to delineate. Some of the algorithms are flagging my work as being "AI Assisted". I'm so tired of this AI nonsense. RenderHub took a hard stand and backed human artists, then went wishy-washy. I'll never forget that. Now it is having to deal with labeling promo images and actively policing its own contests.
And life is funny sometimes. I'm a slot technician now. I actually work on slot machines. For years I have called AI image generation a slot machine. Casinos call it "gaming", but sitting in front of a screen and pressing a button until the machine hits a jackpot is not gaming. And that is what AI image generation is. Type a few phrases into a prompt, and hit a render button until you get something cool. It doesn't stop us from actually creating, much like slot machines don't stop gamers from playing real games. But in both cases, the people who take the easy route now have grossly inflated egos. That's pretty much what unregulated capitalism does.

Wed, Apr 22That really is the fundamental issue, integrity does seem to be lacking in some.
I keep harping on this point. AI removes the fun of creating, of 'playing with dolls', something that drew us into this in the first place.
How often do you load a scene either inside or outside, add some props then load a character and start dressing it. This becomes a fun filled (and challenging) evening as you fiddle with the clothes, poses, props, expressions and lighting. All the while, the back story keeps unfolding in your head and usually evolves, forcing you to make changes in your scene. Whether or not you eventually set it to render is secondary to the enjoyment you got out of the process. I feel sorry for people who have leaped into AI and completely missed out on the creative process.
What AI CAN do for us in 3D is eliminate that gawd awful dFarce garbage and give us a draping tool that works properly in almost real time. It could also replace the power-sucking render engines like Iray and give us something that provides 90%(?) of the realism while only using 10% of the computer/GPU power that Iray demands.

In RenderHub's official ai promo policy, the phrase "accurately represent the product" is so laughable, that it stopped me from getting triggered and caused me to remember that this is the same company that said, No ai. Ever, then swerved. Consider the source. Carry on.

Your comment about tools made me think about what I'm trying to do in a new light. I've been trying to use photogrammetry to make a 3D mesh from a zillion images I took of the inside of the bell tower of our local cathedral. It has a lot of history and I'm trying to document the present state before the major overhaul of the 200 year old mechanism. I read all the documentation, watched all the videos, took the pictures correctly, fed everything into Reality Capture and got mostly gibberish. The forums and discord server where of only limited help. I then set up a small table in my garage, set even lighting, used a dark cloth as a backdrop and put a shoe on it. Again, even a simple object under optimized conditions resulted in gibberish. It sorta, kinda looked like a shoe but.....
Now I'm thinking about AI. I see that there's various services offering to make a mesh from photos. I'm going to try them. I'm not expecting perfection and intend on doing a lot of work on the result, similarly to what I would do if the photogrammetry software had delivered what it promised.
If some AI service/engine/software can do what photogrammetry is supposed to do, then I'm all in. It's just a tool to get a basic mesh and that's all I want.

Anthropic: https://www.blender.org/news/upcoming-blender-development-fund-and-ai-policies/ but of course, as with all things, take it with a grain of salt. The whole "by humans for humans" sounds pretty, but we've been baited into that trap before. Also, that "not very talented artists" comment resonates and I applaud the dogged determination to be bad at something until you're not.

Thanks for the article. I like what it said and I'll keep throwing a few bucks at them every year.
Further to my experiments, there's something new that's along the same line, it's called "gausian splatting". I've been reading a lot on it and it makes sense. It's really just another way to build the mesh. Instead of trying to align thousands or millions of identified points in hundreds of images all at once, it starts with overall 'sloppy' areas called splats. These are progressively refined and will keep getting clearer and more detailed until you tell it to stop. I can see AI making big inroads in the process. It would (could?) be a much more efficient process of looking for and aligning all them damn fussing little points.
I keep harping on the need to use AI in a limited task in Studio. Please Daz, dump dFarce and give us an AI tool for draping. I keep hoping that someone makes a plugin for Studio that does that.
Along those lines, remember that the bulk of the 3D world doesn't consider us Studio/Poser users to be real artists. I'm sure they dump us in the same category as folks making AI images and trying to sell them on DeviantArt.

Please DAZ keep dforce unless this suggested AI tool:-
Users exactly the shape of initial cloth that I provide as a mesh, before draping it
Maintains its topology so that morphs work
Maintains its UV mapping so that I can swap textures.
Anything else is going backwards.

Those are just the basics, it also needs to support rigidity and followers, such as buttons.. In other words it needs to do what dforce already does, before it enhances that with better draping.

Perhaps there is a use for AI in this after all, to rewrite their app, since they do not seem to have the capacity.

Here's the good news. RenderHub has no problem with giving a refund if you aren't satisfied with the product for *any* reason. I bought a 3D model that didn't match the promo images, and it didn't have anything to do with AI. Support processed the refund with no further questions asked AND they took the product down. So I'm sure if someone was duped by AI promo images, there would be no problem with a refund there either.

Mon, May 25That link goes 404 for me, so someone probably reported the product already.
In any case, if a vendor misrepresents their product, that's a problem for THEM because RenderHub has excellent customer service. Here's what I posted above on the 15th:
RenderHub has no problem with giving a refund if you aren't satisfied with the product for *any* reason. I bought a 3D model that didn't match the promo images, and it didn't have anything to do with AI. Support processed the refund with no further questions asked AND they took the product down. So I'm sure if someone was duped by AI promo images, there would be no problem with a refund there either.

This is the model I'm referring to. And yes, you're right, it appears that model has been removed.

Mon, May 25I think this message doesn't belong in this thread and that the correct place is the "Product Showcase" forum.
