I've watched a number of fellow bloggers talk about the benefits and the pitfalls of using AI in the hobby. After my most recent course, where AI was a popular topic, I decided to give it a go, with creating some uniforms for my Duchy of Arancia Not-Italian Napoleonic Imagi-Nation project.
I asked for a half a dozen infantry regiments to be created and for uniforms and colours for those regiments in the French model, but not in French colours. I already have two regiments made up for this project, so it's really not something I was really taking too seriously. But I do have more figures awaiting their paint jobs.
This is what the AI generated for me:
A rather fetching set of uniforms, really. Plus it added a few details about the regiments to give me a little back story for each unit. I'm looking to do the same for some cavalry units and the usual "artillery, engineers, and train" elements as well.
In addition to virtual painting, I've managed to finish another regiment of foot for my ECW project.
I like the way this project is progressing. I'm waiting for a few more pikemen to come in, in order to finish three more regiments. Even with the pikemen enroute, I still have a number of units queued up to be finished.
Hopefully this weekend will see a few more figures added to the finished part of the collection.
The AI generated uniforms are pretty impressive...I wonder how accurate it would be if you asked it to create accurate uniform guides for every (select nationality) regiment in the (select conflict)...?!
