Great. We went from dead board and "ur 3d a shit" to dead board and "ITS OVER ITS SO OVER" posts every day
>AI will do a really tedious job for the artists Oh no, how terrible.
Funny enough though, some engines are getting so good with polycounts, that auto-remeshed sculpts are being used directly in games.

>>1025855(OP) that's my picture chud. it's not as good as it looks. there are various issues especially around the ears and eyelids. it's also an extreme pain to do any of this shit. you have to go part by part and retopo each one and it takes fuck knows how much compute several minutes and you don't know what you're getting. hair is pretty much a sculpt and you'll have to do the cards yourself. basically, you'll need a lot of work for an unautohred and mediocre result.
I've tried it and what it shits out is unrigable. The mouth's welded shut it's just not how you do a mouth most of it rigs fine but once jaw/mouth is involved it breaks. We're gonna be fine.

>>1026315 I don't think polycount matters much if it's weight painting. I have thought that they could make a very simplistic mesh with the rigging, and transfer the weights over as a starting point, but that's just a guess.
>>1026319 The UVs look mostly automated, so it's either that, or they baked the polypaint from the sculpt.

>>1026452 There are no prizes for pointless 'busy work'. Valve's always been pretty hacky during the development period of their games, and that's what Deadlock is in, currently. It's just curious that Victor is the one in this state, since he's one of the characters made after they ditched Neon Prime, and his design looks pretty final.

>>1026503 It isn't. I can show you gun or a thing with a lot ridges which it fucks up bad because it's capped at like 10 to 20k polys. It can do female eyelids but not male because of the brow ridge. Anyway, 3D is pretty much done. It's like 6 to 12 months away for decent meshes. Texturing still sucks. Rigging as well.

Again, it's still weird that OP is trying to make this sound like a doom story for 3D artists. Automated retopology would be a godsend, or at least a good starting point. Not their examples of it though. Those look like dogshit that would have to be completely reworked.
