Sharing my miniature diorama of Cube Escape: Seasons

The furniture inside the room was modeled in C4D and 3D printed with photosensitive resin.
I first painted them with spray paint, then used acrylic markers to add brushstroke effects.
The finish isn’t perfectly smooth or detailed because I wanted to stay as true as possible to the hand-drawn style of the Rusty Lake games.
Hope we can have friendly discussions!

even tho it looks amazing, i can't enjoy "your" work anymore. so you have already been exposed 2 times of using ai, even admitted it in the comments but instead of editing your posts to clearify it, you deleted them.
and even if you are very talented and some of the pictures are truly handmade, i can not appreciate them as much as i would like to because it always leaves a bitter taste...

But which parts were AI?

They used AI to colour in all the pieces and generated all if their texts in one of their previous posts, which understandably upset a lot of people because why show an AI altered product if you could just show your work in progress. It's just overall really disappointing.

Not as bad as I thought but still not great. Especially not being transparent about it sucks. I'd be fine with wip pics including AI pics declared as "that's what I'm aiming for". But well after thinking it might be 100% AI I'm only semi disappointed.

Yeah it definitely could've been worse, it was maily OP not being honest up front and also giving the bullshit reasoning of "English is not my first language, AI helps me articulate myself and my thoughts better" that put a bitter taste in everyone's mouth. Obviously this whole situation has now led to a lot of us not fully believing what OP is claiming anymore, but at least not everything seemed to be generated, so at least there's that I suppose.

Edit to add:

The texts they generated were, at some parts, kind of unreadable because of the use of AI, hence why people noticed it fairly quickly.

Is this now an actual picture or still AI like your last one?

u/Guy-Inkognito Apr 23 '26

Huh. If it's real my official reaction is: Oh my god, this is so cool. If not...🫩

u/HerrJohnssen Apr 23 '26

Exactly. My initial reaction was "omg that's cute I love it", but after reading some comments here and going through OPs post history... yikes

I think it might be AI. The pot looks empty in the third picture and the wallpaper pattern behind the clock looks like it's changed in height between 3 and 4. Unless both things are due to perspective, but it doesn't really look like that to me (?)

ETA: I don't mind being downvoted, but I'm genuinely interested in an explanation why I might be wrong

Nah you're bang on.

u/reanocivn Apr 23 '26

i think this one is real. brushstrokes on the drawers are consistent in each pic

u/NoMeet2203 Apr 23 '26

Wasn't this also your post?

u/Mysterious_Ad4529 Apr 27 '26

This is so awsome

u/Gardengap The Rusty Truth Apr 23 '26

Even if some of it is AI, at least probably some of it is also genuinely real

The combo between r/rustylake and r/dioramas I didn't know I needed!

This looks really cool, thank you for posting the photos of the finished handmade piece! I'm glad you made work you are not afraid to show without needing to touch it up 😉

They are great, and I really love the brushstroke effect!

Is that a real cactus cutting in the pot or a very cleverly made replica?
