You may not have heard of NeRF but it's the hottest thing in CG and VFX right now, and simply it can render lifelike video scenes from video scans like no other tech. Every reflection is captured and it's, well, hard to tell real from CG. But it's (very) complex.
Which is why news that Shutterstock is partnering with Luma Labs AI, RECON Labs, and Volinga AI to create an AI tool to make NeRF (neural radiance fields) easier and more approachable for everyone, could be one of the biggest uses of AI to shake-up CG. With this news, and Autodesk adding AI to Maya, it looks like text-to-3D is the next big step in AI.
