White Terror
AI-Enhanced 3D Render by maru_berlinOriginally an idea for the Renderhub Horror contest.
However, without leaving my usual path of postwork within Photoshop, ON1 and NikCollection, with the new version of PS this is image is not entirely free of traces of AI - beacuse I changed the expression. The eyes are postworked "traditionally" and with liquify.
All other stuff - the shattered bowl, the mouse, the whole of the kitchen is pure Daz, and so is Ma Lycan, down to the flower in her hair and the apron (see the raw render).
The final version is much more what I envisioned, and I still feel that I was fully in control of the Daz scene. Yet I have arrived at the border between the much suspected AI and my own works. (Not to speak of the toon version, which is frightening close to what my mind showed me **before** I started).
When using AIRE in some tests earlier some said that would make my style unrecognizeable. In this particular case of assistance I would say "no" to that.
Is this "created using AI tools"? Or just "AI enhanced"?
Comments, please!

Looks good to me!
If your setting up the scene and getting the end result for what you were envisioning, who cares what you use.
Honestly, when I was shopping for some new editing software last year, everything had some kind of AI enhancement built into it.
I'm using Aire now and I couldn't go back to Iray even if I wanted to.

Sat, Sep 05Thanks for sharing your view. I am all against type and click AI-Images. But with the options I have now, this is different because I still control it. But it becomes increasingly more difficult to draw a line - and I don't mean using a pencil here ;D.

Tue, Sep 08Fun renders, thanks for sharing your workflow! It's the topic of the decade, for sure... Where the line goes is different for all of us. Because we're wired differently. In the end, it's about getting satisfaction from the work you put in, the control you feel, and how cool it looks when done. Basically, how you do it, and how it looks. The best mix is where the lines exists on both sides, you do what YOU like to do, the control and satisfaction it gives you, and you get a result that feels WOW. And if someone then says, hey, that looks cool, it's a bonus...
