Even 3D modeling software is leveraging AI art generators. Stability AI has launched Stability for Blender, a tool that integrates Stable Diffusion’s image creation technology into the open-source 3D platform. This allows users to generate AI-driven textures, effects, and animations using either source material from their renders or simple text descriptions. Consequently, you may no longer need to hire a skilled 2D artist for the finishing touches on your project.
Stability for Blender is free to use and requires only an API key and an internet connection. It doesn’t have any software dependencies or need a dedicated GPU, making it ideal for completing texture or video work on less powerful laptops. This addition is designed to save time and resources while streamlining your workflow. Furthermore, it enables the creation of truly custom content, benefiting those already planning to utilize AI-generated art by minimizing the need to switch between multiple applications.
While Stability for Blender may not significantly outpace competitors like OpenAI’s DALL-E, it also doesn’t create 3D objects from scratch—a separate tool like POINT-E is necessary for that. However, it showcases how AI image generation can assist creatives while reducing potential copyright issues, as it relies on your own content as source material, mitigating legal concerns.
