Here's a rerender of Katy-Jayne Paulson, which I think I haven't posted before. It's a bit retouched with AI.

AI Generated Cornellverse Content
Blackman replied to Markw's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Mods
Some more converts from QAW, CWA and Europe: Just in case it's not clear, it's the tag team from the Clenched Fist, Anderson & Snyder, The 'vintage' Ronin 3, Svelte & Quenzel. Fourth from the left for CWA is Demelza Wade. Also Viper and her copycat, and the Queen's Court stable. -
AI Generated Content - 1997 CornellVerse
Blackman replied to Bigpapa42's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Mods
Here's some of my Japanese renders "AI enhanced". Ogiwara looks rather unasian but I guess you can say that about the original render too. 😅 Loving how Higa turned out. Ichihara I had to retouch. -
AI Generated Content - 1997 CornellVerse
Blackman replied to Bigpapa42's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Mods
Here's an AI-retouched version of the render I once did years ago. In a time when AAA was still around and relevant. For the record: I did have to do the eyes and lips of Raven as the AI didn't convert that over unfortunately. Surprisingly enough it remains consistent even though I've used other poses and it keeps applying the same face. Nice. -
New version of TEW?
Blackman replied to WadeCallus's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Suggestions
Don't we have mods for those times? Sure, it's unofficial, but is it really? They are modeled after the games' rosters and just added the new features. Here's hoping the announcement is not far away after Mania. 😁 -

Came back to Leonardo to try the new upscale tool that does a great job converting my renders to a realistic output that - imho - make for fine realistic TEW renders. I can only make 5 of these a day on the free plan, but keep in mind these are first tries (!). No word inputs, no endless 'rerolls', nothing. Just the core image I rendered but more detailed and the face has undergone a realistic touch. Amazing how this AI thing progresses so quickly. Kind of reluctant to throw my other ones in as AI has the tendency to exclusively use 'models'. J-Ro (Joanne Rodriguez) SMY (Sara Marie York) Wanda Fish / Belle Bryden Victoria Stone -
For the AI fans: the newest thing on Leonardo apparently is creating a small motion video of an image. Look at this: Looks more like a Marvel movie. It's AI mocking its inability to generate hands and therefore gloves. Quite suprised to see it able to put UFC on the gear instead of alien gibberish. It would suit the transforming hands though. Might be nice for the superhero game. XD 7ae28b1c-1ec6-46d4-a6ec-7199452503a4.mp4

I dabbed in the AI atmosphere a tiny bit but failed to get renders out exactly like I wanted them. This output is very good though. It keeps the feel of the renders posted here so it fits right in. Can't say that from the output I posted here from AI sources. It needs its own db. Here's some more traditional renders that require 10x the work

AEW reminds me a bit about how I came into TEW. I mostly did random things that just... came to me. Unnecessary hires because I could and without any longterm vision at all. Ah... those were the days. I sometimes watch youtube tidbits but imo these are really average. Now watched a fatal 4way with Moné at ringside. Feels random to me. But as I said: not watching so there might be some logic in it.

I think I had in on normal when I started, but I ended up quitting for now as it got a bit annoying having to replay segments because I failed combat. My party is not thàt combat-heavy and it takes a while in D&D before mages do something. Anyone playing the new WWE game yet? They made it just a bit better then the previous iteration so I'm liking it. New storylines as well, so worth the money imo for us wrestling fans. Then again, if you're not superexcited about it, you might as well wait until the DLC is ready and the crashed will be fixed, especially concerning the creation suite. Like always I stray away from that the first few months.

Gotta say that Dune 2 looks phenomenal on the big screen, if you have an IMAX nearby. Very rarely go to the movies anymore, but that visit was worthwhile. Perhaps thé best cinematic experience for me ever.

WMMA 3 mods that still work?
Blackman replied to HazeOTS's topic in World of Mixed Martial Arts 1-4 Mods
Actually, I have one link still left in my mediafire that dates from 2012. It's a C-verse mod though, not the "real" data. https://www.mediafire.com/file/z28c7u2o60bsnkk/CVE_2_4_B.rar/file (this is an update to the data only: https://www.mediafire.com/file/3lb0u0aliib2evy/CVE_2_4D.zip/file) -
Arkham Knight was a great game imo... you just had to wait a year before beginning. I played on PC, never any problems. It's a lesson most refuse to learn: games are often MUCH better a year after release. Look at Cyberpunk, for one (though I'm still to play it, and purchase it after initially refunding)

General Gameplay Questions Thread

Change their role for that day. If it's valets or Heyman-likes, the match is for comedy purposes anyway and better as an angle. -
Does finances matter?
Blackman replied to zlodi's topic in World of Mixed Martial Arts 5 General Discussions
Like the AI I assume you will eventually be fired as the promotion folds. I have no idea if it works as it is very hard to fail at this game. It's nigh impossible to have workers leave because of morale, and it's very hard to get fired. You'd have to be a 0% promotion booking 10 fights a card for years. -
So I tried to finish the CWA roster (the women at least), all based on their personality profile and lore. Any feedback whatsoever is of course appreciated. Demelza Wade, Natalie DiMarco, Amber Allen, Zoe Ammis, Sally Anne Christianson, Nina "The Psycho Ballerina" Cacace, Brooke Tyler, Nadia Snow, Jessica Conroy, Deborah Young Lauren Easter, Laura Flame, Claire Winters, Ariel Breaks (Sandra Shine is still missing. :p) Full renders below.

AI Recreates the CornellVerse (with John Lions)
Blackman replied to John Lions's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Mods
Good advice. Often one can be "in the zone" and eager to do work because you like it and it's all good, but eventually burnout will hit and you'd wish you spend your time better. Though the "work" should be fun and creatively engaging, you should contemplate the practicality of the output. -
It will only happen when you use massive db's like the "real" database which are only good for small-scale games. The default db should last for many a decade if you disable new companies (and you should). I dont know if editing people's death age to 'much lower' fixes it. But there's too many people in the db after a while. You'll have to switch from booking to watching eventually.
