NVIDIA researchers took the stage at SIGGRAPH Asia Real-Time Live event in Sydney to showcase generative AI integrated into an interactive texture painting. Rather than generating complete results with only high-level user guidance, this prototype shows how AI can function as a brush in the hands of an artist.
