Since I was a kid, I've drawn characters I could only half-imagine in 3D. Not anymore. Feeding sketches into Gemini via Firefly Boards shows me where they wanted to go. Generation's a small slice. concept, design, 15 years of craft? Still all me. Ideas never came from the tool. #creativetechnologist

Been having fun pushing one character into wacky situations, many inspired by the community. Small peek at my Firefly board and thinking about opening it up… would you be into a shared character project folks can collaborate on?

How I know I’m at the “pick one and move on“ stage of creativity. Must be how it feels to hear, “You’ve reached your final revision,“ as a client. 😅

Finding new ways to use Boards and the Firefly suite every day. On iPad, it’s all about prompting and creating. Firefly leads while Premiere sits to the side for assembly. On Desktop, the roles reverse, with Firefly supporting the edits started on mobile.

I was today years old when I discovered Scene to Image 😂 Project Neo was already super cool but this gives a new level of control to image generating.

Been actively exploring how my work can evolve with LLMs and new technology. Really loving these conversions from vector to felt and claymation... The liminal space gas station is just funny.

Ray3 in #AdobeFirefly is super rad! Generated the scenic shots with Firefly Image 3, then switching to Firefly Image 4 for the gnomes. From there, I jumped straight into video rendering with Ray3 without ever leaving Firefly! For audio, I used ElevenLabs and Epidemic Sound for the SFX and music.

Look at my Art!! 🖼️ I've been having some fun with Boards recently and finding it a great way to brain storm goofy characters! I think this one is worthy of being put on the fridge. #AdobeFirefly

Been tinkering on a little dungeon crawler in Godot during nights and weekends, mostly just to learn the engine. Finally started adding some gfx, keeping it super simple for fun. Not perfect, but I like where it’s headed. #godot #indiegamedev

This week on #100hrCode I played around with making a Brick Breaker game. Not gonna lie, asked ChatGPT to generate the HTML for me, then spent most of my time digging through it and tweaking things. Honestly impressed with what it gave me, and it definitely saved me a ton of time on a small project.

Had an incredible time in SF this week for the Adobe AI VIP Community Summit. Special thanks to ​⁠Adobe for the event and excited for what’s next. Now I just need to figure out how to composite, on mobile, my fresco illustration and firefly generation 🤪 #CommunityXAdobe

Spent ~5 hours on Epic’s Fortnite Island tutorial and made a magicaly busted mini-game. It’s terrible… and I'm proud of that. Way more comfortable with Unreal’s UI now, and I built this in just a few hours. Imagine what I could do if I spent the rest of my #100hrCode challenge in UEFN? 🌱 #gamedev
