I loss inspiration

Rashad Carter

Sometimes a good way to "trick" yourself into more creativity is to take on technical studies. Like a professor assigning homework, sometimes simply focusing on technical ideals like a student can lend itself to creating something new. Whenever your teachers assigned you a project you always came through. So be the teacher now, and the student within you will be inspired again.

To be creative all the time is a big ask.  A controversial thought is artists are generative models ourselves, just organic ones.  We create based on our experience, and at the moment, AI generative models seem to indeed out generate their human counterparts.  Though I submit AI GPTs can only learn from data that is fed to them.  People still have the pleasure of experience the real world, first hand.  I do spend a lot of time online, but I often find more inspiration during a 30 mins nature walk, than 8 hours connected.

We are really in this together, so cheers!

I used to love creating new art with Daz3D. But lately, I have absolutely no inspiration to even get started on a new project. Maybe it's my depression IDK - I feel so uninspired lately I don't know what to do.  What do you do to help motivation or inspiration? Also, with all these new AI systems out I feel kind of at a loss. I mean like my work isn't as valued as it once was.  Now anyone can type in words and a solid description and make incredible art. Sorry just venting a bit too. 

Sub to Wendy's youtube channels, there's always something on them that gets me thinking and she can get me motivated when I'm not feeling it (I generally use a browse around youtube on a night to look for inspiration).

I'm someone who get's bogged down by any external "noise" and all thie things I see as obstacles to me getting my creativity out lol

I was recently inspired by the Asina competition, not enough to actually submit a render but...

I don't know if it'll help you but what helps me to get inspired to create 3D art *is creating AI art lol.  I like generating lots of AI art and am always inspired by something I see in it which helps me to get new ideas for the 3D projects, or any kind of art really, like pastels or colored pencils.  And I love that it's more less surrealistic in many ways so my mind can always pull something out of it. The point is just to create until you get inspired, just going thru the motions.  It really does help *and it helps when I'm feeling down too.  Heck, even just getting a paper and pen or pencil out just to scribble down my thoughts with some doodles gets me in the mood to do something bigger.  Also, AI art isn't going to replace art that only you can make from your own soul.  Art that is an actual part of you.  So I say go crank out some AI art and see where it takes your mind and you might be surprised with the new ideas and inspiration you come up with.

Using DAZ renders with AI is more enjoyable than imaginable. You can transform any scene into a photorealistic image, indistinguishable from reality. I'm entirely serious. One thing to note, and it's not a fault of DAZ's, is that the time consumption and computational load required for 3D rendering are absolutely brutal, to the point of being inspiration-destroying. Rather than AI replacing 3D, I hope it will one day significantly reduce the rendering times and computational demands. It's essential. These are indeed challenging times for everyone. Hopefully, on the other side of this shake-up, there will be new frontiers for everyone to explore. For now, it would be wise for creators to try to stay as ahead of the curve as humanly possible.

My hubby when depressed hung onto every facebook post, clinging for hope, waiting to lap up tidbits others left, and he responded like a dehydrated dog lapping water. I actually had to tell him stop and listen before you respond. Maybe my hubby was more depressed than some others, but depressed people do seek response, validation, justificaton, anything. I don't get the silence from the OP. Maybe it was a whimsical post? Who knows.

Depression manifests differently for different people. I've been depressed as long as I can remember, and I am extremely inward-looking: I don't seek validation nor do I particularly care what others think, I don't like leaving the house, I don't seek relationships or even human contact. If it weren't for my wife, I could easily go days or weeks without actually talking to another person.

I guess there is a difference between being suicidal and depressed. Suicidal people do reach out in desperation.
