Imagine starting a Minecraft project 10 years ago and then hearing an ex-Rockstar dev who worked on RDR2 say "you're using the same workflows that the mainstream game studios employ - all arrived at in relative isolation..."

An ex-Rockstar Games environment artist who worked on #RDR2 and #GTAV has been exploring our vision of Middle-earth 🧙♂️
These are fantastic videos that really capture the fact that we're trying to do environmental art just like the pros!

It’s only lembas if it’s produced in the Naith region of Lórien, otherwise it’s just sparkling waybread

@blu3r4d0n.shutdown.network reposting here - it’s pretty clearly about generative AI and they even propose making some live at the event

Sadly it’s very much “we are going to do this and we’re even going to make some Tolkien-related AI art live at the event”

Really quite disheartening and disappointing to see the Tolkien Society hosting a discussion on “AI in fantasy filmmaking” this year at Oxonmoot.
It feels about as morally and philosophically opposed to Tolkien’s work as a talk on the benefits of deforestation.

We've just released a 1hr37 music and nature ambience video set in the Gondorian countryside!
Perfect background to writing, reading, or building fields on ArdaCraft 🌱
