This is a grumble, not a full rant, and I might be being unreasonable - but I really do think some content creators are upcharging for pretty lazy AI assets that are mega easily generated? I've given good money to both Dreamlight and Powerage and they do some amazing stuff, but it feels like both are peddling fast-generated AI assets that anyone can craft easily and pretty cheaply on Meshy or with a Fal model or even locally with an open-weights one.
Examples: https://www.renderhub.com/dreamlight/aire-elements-cars-vol-1-daz-studio
https://www.renderhub.com/dreamlight/aire-elements-cinematic-creatures-vol-1-daz-studioLike $7-$12 for 4 generated un-textured static creatures or cars is something, idk. Powerage's masks and creatures packs do at least have many models included.
I just generated this dino and this jeep with Meshy.ai in 3 mins each (and textured) and pictures with free credits on their latest model. I do have a sub on Meshy, but yeah, even before many models can be generated for free or cheap. (lmk if anyone wants them as an obj, don't have an immediate use just wanted to run the experiment!)
Just wanted to get that off my chest! 3D artists deserve their props, and it sucks how Ai is taking away craftsmanship (and I know that's ironic, as a non-sculptor/2d only artist taking advantage of 3d AI and is v active on a pirate site) but there's a point where it seems a smidge scammy to me.
