That headline sounds rather harsh, but that’s not how I intend it. In reality, I’d love to see 3D artists embrace AI in their pipelines, not such that it replaces human creativity, but so that it enhances everything we do.
I appreciate that this is a hot and divided topic, but with AI here to stay in the creative sectors, we’re going to have to learn to live with it, much like that housemate who refuses to move out despite ruining the vibe of the house. We've already seen Autodesk add more AI to some of the best 3D modelling software, and there's more to come in 2026.
