Скачать или смотреть I Let AI Remake My Old VFX Shot… Should I Be Worried?

After 10+ years working in animation and VFX, I had one big question when AI video tools exploded in 2024… is this going to take my job?
A few years ago, I made a short VFX comedy about a giant spider crawling out from behind a sofa. It took days of modelling, texturing, shading, lighting, rendering — the whole painful process. So I decided to remake it using AI tools like Higgsfield and Google’s Nano image model to see how close we really are.
The results were… impressive, broken, uncanny, and slightly terrifying. From melted faces to glitchy spider legs, I tested prompts, start and end frames, and even rotoscoped myself back into the AI version to push it further. In the end, the VFX version took 2–3 days. The AI version? Around 6–7 hours.
Is AI replacing VFX artists — or just changing the way we work?
