It's just ego getting in the way really. Any competent dev would see the requests for the "old" 3D models and set up another version of the game that uses those pictures. It could be a separate download or a toggle on the menu, but it's totally doable and no one would complain after that.Respectfully to the Dev, I don't mind that he likes the AI style better. Firstly because he obviously still made the 3D art it looks like, or so he says. Secondly because it's preference. I wouldn't put AI anywhere near that, but that's just me.
However, with all that said, I'm just thinking about their statement:
Maybe this guy doesn't know, but you can literally go to any image/porn site and see this exact image over and over again without fail. Sure, there are fewer mistakes, but 90% of this image is already done automatically. AI style, unfortunately has just fallen into two major styles with no major deviation. The hyper realistic look of the above, or the anime style look that some games are currently using. I've not seen any in between.
Even if you play different games with similar Daz models, you still see creative expression in different subtle things. But the problem with AI is that is basically coats the whole product with a wax coat and removes the details and the human element. It reduces the art two two styles (really one) and asks us: "Don't worry about it, it looks pretty!"
I'm particularly disappointed in this Dev's direction because he's NOT totally lazy. The fact that he has these really well made models and renders and chooses to blow torch them with AI is crazy to me.
I really hope he stops this, or at least creates a new version where he finishes his 3DCG's and compiles a game version for that, and then continues making his own personal AI version for himself and the zoomers.
One can hope! o7
