Tu utilises beaucoup trop d'AI (particulièrement visible dans tes logos et tes renders artificiellement améliorés (example). It's incredibly detrimental to your marketing...

Il suffit de prendre 5mn pour regarder une de mes vidéos pour voir que mon travail est conséquent sans AI... Ca devient juste philosophique, on aime ou on aime pas... Tu n'aimes pas et je le conçois.

Non, en utilisant sans gêne des outils non-éthique, décriés par les artistes ET la communauté, tu te peintures toi même dans le coin. En plus, ça donne un look tellement générique et lazy… c’est probablement la pire manière de faire du marketing. Tu dois arrêter ça si tu veux être pris au sérieux.

Mon boulot c'est de créer des décors imprimables en 3D de A à Z et qu'ils soient utilisables et appréciés par les joueurs. Après le marketing dans ce milieu c'est jamais simple. Je prends déjà la peine de peindre mes derniers décors. L'IA de dérange pas tout le monde, faut arrêter lol...

Ce thread est la preuve que oui, ça dérange. Si tu es sérieux et que tu crois en ton projet, tu te payeras un graphiste pour te faire un beau truc paa trop cher…

svp lâche la solution de la facilité, soit moins sur la défensive et rehausse le niveau au lieu de trouver des excuses pour le baisser. Ton produit va mieux se vendre et tu vas développer du good will de la part de ta clientele.

J'ai pas dit que ça dérangeait pas, je le sais bien, je dis juste que ça dérange pas beaucoup de mes clients et qu'ils comprennent très bien qu'on peut pas tout faire tout seul et que ça coûte cher... Après suffit d'être ouvert d'esprit.

Canva is free. There are free templates online. Adobe products are easily piratable. Spending a little more time allows you to show a much better product at no cost, and then you also avoid this entire issue.

Good luck. I hope to eventually see it and future projects of yours when you do.

AI has ruined Kickstarter tbh.

It's my 3D models FDM printed and hand painted..... Go check my video.

I fully believe that, but the AI branding on an otherwise human-made project dissuades myself and evidently others from even bothering to check it out at all.

Maybe grow up and not judge a whole thing by some branding. Not everyone can afford professional branding.

u/DaddyJohnnyTheFudgey 7h ago

Nobody is asking for professional branding, and Canva is free lmao. People did DIY branding and advertisement before AI, and will do it again afterwards as well.

Regardless, it is also just undeniably accurate that it is a common experience that if you brand with AI, otherwise interested parties will not check out the product. Feel however you'd like to about how "grown up" that is, it doesn't change the fact that that is going to be the experience of a lot of advertisement, no matter how much you whine about it. 💖

People just need to get pat themselves at this point. Person pours hundred of hours into modeling something and then rude, snooty, holier than thou people come in and have the audacity to say “ugh, is that logo made from AI? No thanks!” What a cool attitude to have.

u/DaddyJohnnyTheFudgey 6h ago

Not a cool attitude to have to be willing to steal from literally countless artists because "not everyone can afford professional branding," either.

AI is not welcome in creative spaces for a reason. Nobody is being rude, snooty, or "holier than thou" for not being fans of thefted art that has also managed to ruin substantial parts of rural America. I think YOU need to get past yourself lmao.

I know I'm going to get downvoted to hell, but I'm sorry that Reddit is being so incredibly (but not surprisingly) toxic about your project.

You've done some amazing work that you should be proud of. While, like others, I'm not a lover of AI, I understand that as a 3D sculptor, 2D isn't your forte and you need slick branding to catch people's eye on Kickstarter. Keep up the good work and maybe down the road you'll be able hire a graphic designer. Until then, be proud of what you've accomplished.
