hmmm well I still think they will be in demand for the same reason software developers will be not automated away. NeRF is really mind boggling good but there are still artifacts, and something that modelers have a good eye for.
Having said that, it might be the end for any junior type of roles. Same reason that github copilot really takes a bite of the need to have a junior developer.
I'm very curious what will happen because it will become a sort of trend across other industries apart from legal or medical professions (peace of mind from human-in-the-loop).
People made clay sculptures of CG characters as a modeling technique for a long time. It’s still done, but digital sculpture tools are getting easier to use so it’s not as common as it was.
