DEVELOPING IDEAS WITH AI Here are some frames I did mixing AI with 3D renders and paintovers, exactly how I might have done working as a matte painter, but using AI as a photobash source (never as a final result). I used Disco Diffusion to generate a starting frame from a comp I uploaded. Then I selected one of the results as a base for the 3D part, posing the camera and setting a quick light rig that matched the Midjourney output. In parallel, I took the selected DiscoD prompt and did several frames, from which I used parts as photobash elements.
Finally I composited all elements together and added paint details such as rocks, bubbles, a face, and designs on the suit.
