What a 3D Artist's 10,000-Shape Library Teaches Painters About…

3D artist Peter Olschinsky starts his intricate, futuristic compositions by drawing from an archive of more than 10,000 custom abstract shapes. Built using MoI 3D, Shapr3D, and Blender, these structures form the basis of his architectural and industrial scenes. Olschinsky first arranges a selection of these models, focusing strictly on scale, positioning, and spatial relationships. He insists that a composition must work successfully before adding any lighting or textures, exploring numerous camera angles to locate the best setup. Once rendered in Blender, he transfers the image to Adobe Photoshop. There, he applies experimental digital overpainting, introducing glitch effects and vintage tones to craft a cohesive, timeless narrative.

Why Autodesk believes AI should buy artists time to experiment

Diana Colella, Executive Vice President of Media and Entertainment at software company Autodesk, has argued that artificial intelligence ought to give creative workers time to experiment rather than forcing them to double their output. In coverage published by Creative Bloq, Colella stressed that the true value of AI implementation lies in liberating time for creative exploration instead of simply accelerating production rates or generating higher volumes of content. The perspective addresses growing concerns across creative industries regarding automation and workload pressure. Rather than using automated tools solely to increase speed and efficiency, the focus should shift towards affording artists space to explore new ideas, refine artistic processes, and focus on higher-quality creative work.

Diana Colella, Executive Vice President and Head of Media & Entertainment at Autodesk, has stated that artificial intelligence should give artists time for creative experimentation rather than doubling their workload. Speaking to Creative Bloq, Colella explained that Autodesk’s AI tools, including Flow Studio and MotionMaker within Maya, are designed to automate repetitive tasks such as rendering and early asset iterations. She observed that many studio clients secretly use AI tools to avoid public criticism driven by widespread industry anxiety. Colella emphasised that current AI technology has clear limitations and cannot finish complete projects on its own, reinforcing that Autodesk focuses on integrating 3D workflow tools rather than speculative 2D generative tools.
