Drawn at Art Buddies in Albuquerque:






I could export textures from Blender --
but not get the textures to import into Mixamo

The above 3D image was generated in META's SAM 3D Scenes before I animated it in Mixamo. The 3D generations of the AI drawing made in KREA were all terrible and wasted a lot of my credits -- both TRELLIS versions in KREA gave me unusable results. I believe TRIPO gave me the best result in KREA.   Also I seem to run out of free credits on Hugging Face before I get any 2D to 3D generations anymore.

  • One of the problems with AI ART is that all the generations seem to have the same surface tension, in the contour surrounding the whole body, no matter what the image is.

I blended an AI version of a previous drawing
with my current drawing in KREA







































ABSTRACT AI TRANSFORMATION




 "Can you combine all three of these images
 into a single composition?"

Gmail added new AI features that showed up on January 16, 2026, even offering to write my emails for me.  However this feature is really obnoxious and clutters my screen -- so I had to turn off as much as I could. Moreover I'm not sure how comfortable I am about Gmail summarizing all my emails.
