I figured I'd post a little bit of my Matrix Resurrections work here.
These were done under the production design of Hugh Bateup and Peter Walpole, and the direction of Lana Wachowski.
These are some designs from IO, including Niobe's keep and the Morpheus shrine.
Hope you enjoy!

"But can't AI just be used to complete unimportant backgrounds or clean up animation?" No. Those are entry level positions that turn into long careers. Bg painters become art directors. Clean up artists become animation leads. Stop trying to cheat.
Lol, Halo guns and X-wings, please sell this, I dare you.
I quit my 11-year corporate career to make games with AI. I built the world’s first AAA-quality sci-fi FPS game with AI in 24h. On my laptop. While traveling.
A giant company in the game industry contacted me after my last AI game went viral with 3M+ Views. They want to feature a game i make with AI in their million-dollar booth at Gamescom and help me release it worldwide across platforms.
So here I present my own original IP: SOL: The Last Imperium.
→ Fast first-person combat with epic guns, grenades, and melee
→ Drive, fly, and fight across massive battlefields
→ Giant boss battles against walkers, titans, and a Leviathan
Graphics, gameplay, concept art, music, sound effects and animation. All made with AI, entirely vibe coded. Built on Three.js.
This would not have been possible without @tripoai. I create world class 3D models of characters, vehicles and monuments in Tripo, then let Opus 5.5 jam with Blender to bring AAA-quality to the 3D models. Absolute game changer.
Now it feels like I have an entire $100M game studio on my laptop.
The future is here. Go after your dreams and start creating, now is the time!
Dropping some AI game dev sauce in the comments!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The "world’s first AAA-quality sci-fi FPS game with AI in 24h" refers to a rapid AI-assisted browser prototype on Three.js via tools like Tesana, not actual AAA production. No evidence supports the giant company/Gamescom claims.

Friendly reminder that if there is no such thing as a faithful AI upscale. AI will hallucinate details that do not reflect reality and it will put your integrity at risk to present an AI image as reality
Hello my name is Olivia Reingold and I used ChatGPT to brighten and sharpen an image of a woman in Valentino shoes and a Chanel bag.
After processing, it still shows these same things: a woman wearing Valentino shoes and a Chanel bag.
She is a real (and chic!) woman, really wearing those items. The observation holds.
Here’s the photo I took:
Steal from one person, that's a crime, steal from everyone, that's just AI training, that's the argument?

Long time friend and genius concept artist friend had her design blatantly stolen.
Absolutely zero chance of legal recourse due to the location of the developer and legal costs.
Absolutely disgraceful, help get the word out. Alex deserves fair compensation and accreditation!
I did not give @ModernWarships permission to use my ekrano design, but I have to say she's looking great. Much more detailed than my sketches. Honestly if they'd just asked and sent me some $$$$ Id have had zero issue with them using it.
Its not to late to do the right thing guys

“This was a rejection of Trump and the Republican Party, but also a rejection of big tech.”

BTW expect @Kalshi and @Polymarket to face incredible heat over the next two years, and serious regulation after 2028
They're inescapably tied to Trump 2, and also fundamentally, observably damaging to society - a fatal combo over the coming years of pro-human effort.

I thought Id reached a settlement with @ModernWarships, signed the documents and then they stopped replying to my emails.
I feel like a fool.

You thought it was a bad night for Republicans? Take a look at data centers.
Reid Southen retweeted
The thing that Silicon Valley flacks can't seem to grasp is that people aren't stupid. They know that the issues of economic inequality, data center and AI buildouts, and, say, tech billionaires trying to buy elections, are linked.
Also, 23%—1 in 4 Americans—is really high.
Reid Southen retweeted
Wow! Congrats to @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, @GoogleDeepMind, @SpaceXSI, @nvidia, @Microsoft, and @Meta for making software people hate so much and shoving it down our throats so hard that over half of Americans considered it a major factor in how they voted this year.
How important was AI and data centers to your vote?
Crucial: 23%
Major factor / minor factor / non-factor: 77%
