  2. Loss of PBR Reflections at Larger-than-Screen Sized Resolutions

    I wasn't getting any reflection at all with it off, so I turned it on. Can you do that while still increasing the resolution? Never tried it! In any case, it's a messy, inelegant solution -- but the only one I've seen that seems to work. Thanks for the link to the Canny, which I'm now following.

  3. Disappointed to see AI generated content in world.

    Let’s zoom out for a second, because every new technology has faced pushback. That’s just… history being history. When the lightbulb first appeared, people genuinely worried it was unnatural — there were real arguments that humans weren’t meant to “have the sun at night.”. Art has gone through this cycle too. Photography was dismissed for decades as mechanical and soulless, not “real art,” because a machine was involved. Painters argued it required no skill or imagination. Even though photography began gaining artistic recognition much earlier, it wasn’t until the late 20th century that it was fully embraced by the mainstream art world and market. Same argument, different century. So that brings us to the real question: what is art? Is it the execution, or is it the idea? If I can draw flawlessly but only copy what others have already done, is that art? I did the work. I executed it. But the vision wasn’t mine. Now flip that. What if I have a clear idea, a concept, a mood — and I use a tool like AI to help generate the image? The AI didn’t invent the idea. It didn’t decide what to make. It followed direction. The creative intent still came from a human. That’s the part people keep skipping. AI is a tool — a powerful one — and like any tool, it reflects how it’s used. What makes it exciting is that it lowers the barrier to entry. People who have ideas, stories, worlds, and visions but not the traditional technical skills can finally bring those ideas into form. That doesn’t erase creativity — it expands who gets to participate in it. And historically? That’s exactly how art evolves.
