Its always nice to see people actually using ai the way it should be used, like any other art tool!

[RonMar]

I think this is a fantastic idea! I'm new to the SD world and have been so lost in the weeds that it never even occurred to me to use SD to make menu assets. Clearly, SD has much to offer here.

[johnlin]

This is ridiculously useful. Haven't seen a video that valuable for a while.

We're glad you enjoy our model Juggernaut! Great video! (Edited out my comment from earlier! Sorry about that! You’re awesome!)

Legend. Thank you.

Love and blessings!

[AntherRgue]

just came across your channel today. i am loving it. i love the great practical example of how to use SD for a specific purpose (game design).

[edge-rps]

this is insanely cool, slot machine owners are foaming at the mouth with rabies at the sight of this.

[fotocube]

Oh my!! Thank you for sharing, you just open a hole new world for me❤

[valentine_shirin]

Cool! That's so powerfull lesson. Thanks you!

[AIGrasp]

Beyond the Forge and Stable Diffusion, you are talented.🎨

[несмотринаменятак]

wow, this is amazing! I really liked these gems 😍 12:23

Youtube Algorithm, please, show this channel's videos to more people. This person deserves it!!! One of the thing I like about your videos is that you always show how we can use AI in a real scenario. Please, keep that "context" in every video you make.

PS. You could also add videos on how to use Photoshop like you do it. Not a tut, but how to use the tools you did in a video. Maybe adding a link to the description so we can learn that part too. I know you do this as a hobby and maybe I'm asking for too much, but don't blame me for trying. :)

Trop sympathique de ta part. Ce tutoriel est un très bon résumer compréhensible, d'un travail qui auparavant prenait des heures à être réalisé. Merci. Demain (dans le futur) il y aura peut-être un tuto qui expliquera comment faire un résumé vidéo comme celui-ci, en 3 minutes. ;)
So nice of you. This tutorial is a very good, understandable summary of a job that used to take hours to do. Thank you. Tomorrow (in the future) there may be a tutorial explaining how to make a video summary like this, in 3 minutes ;)

[caseyj]

Very clever and inspiring to watch. i prefer comfyui but it same topic. Thx !

[southcoastinventors]

I used a similar work flow to you but I started with a logo generated from ideogram as it can do text logos really well in 2-3 shots plus you get 25 prompts of 4 image outputs free a day. Good Video

[pedroserapio]

Really super cool to see AI tools being used together with "traditional" tools to get the job done.

[SyntheticSurrealism]

Thanks for going beyond the usual Stable Diffusion tutorials and showing how AI is helpful for designers. Honestly, AI is just another tool in a our toolbox. Also showing the problems and errors you had is just as educational as the technique itself! As a game dev I found this really interesting, and while I do use some of these techniques, you've taken it further and given me something to think about. Please give us more vids like this!

[centurionstrengthandfitnes]

I didn't like this. I loved it!
Great content, Pix.

[shawnnosaurus]

How did you create the animations for the menu and level startup with the gems coming into place?

[chucktobbes]

You are very skilled with forge. I have a challenge please try to generate pixel art game ready assets in the style of the game stoneshard (top down dark fantasy). I have tried myself with mixing some loras but can't quite get it right.
