Adobe is promoting the integration of AI with
its latest update to Alchemist. Looks like it could have some nice applications for generating surface textures for use in TG.
I've been using Alchemist to create surface textures for foliage. Its bitmap-to-material filter does an acceptable job of producing a full set of texture maps from a single image. The new filter is supposed to improve on that, but I haven't tried it yet.
In some ways the interface reminds me of Lightroom's. I wonder if people from that team might be working on it.
