Virtua Fighter was a game-changing release. It was hailed as the first fighting game with full 3D graphics, and it paved the way for other fighting games with 3D graphics to follow.
It's fitting to revisit Virtua Fighter in the age of both remastered gaming classics and the boom in artificial intelligence.
The power of Stable Diffusion was shown in a thread from Colin Williamson. An image-to-image variation called Automatic1111 was used by the author.
The results are pretty impressive.
The early 90s titles look less like a graphical upgrade and more like actors portraying the characters in a cutscene, thanks to the help of the artificial intelligence model.
I used to play this game in middle school. " Graphics can never get better than this. My dad was not so sure.
Their dad was correct in his opinion. It's not easy to get it to look right with an all powerful artificial intelligence.
"Just describe the character, and img2img does its best," the author said. The hardest part was figuring out how to describe the character's clothes.
I would cherry-pick the funniest ones after finding a good prompt. "I tried this thing called 'negative prompting,' where you tell the artificial intelligence stuff like 'please don't draw messed-up looking hands' which does an excellent job in that now your characters have only six fingers instead of seven."
Artificial intelligence dreams up what dead celebrities would look like today.
