Hi, I use AI as part of my workflow for creating textures. The reason is simple: efficiency. While I can make textures procedurally or hand-paint them from scratch, both methods take significantly more time, and the end result is typically valued the same.
By using AI, I can generate a strong base quickly and refine or fix any issues in Krita or Photoshop when needed. This hybrid approach saves time without compromising on quality — and because it streamlines my workflow, I’m able to price my assets more affordably than many others.
In short, it’s a practical choice that benefits both me and those who use my assets.
