Key Takeaways
- The disputed material concerns non-game illustrations, not the emulated games.
- Antstream’s account says artists repainted and finalized pseudo-3D drafts produced from original concepts.
What Happened
Viewers questioned promotional artwork after System 3 had denied generative-AI use. The publisher later said its answer relied on Antstream wording that did not use the words generative AI.
According to the account supplied to System 3, original 2D concepts entered a model to estimate form, volume, and lighting. Artists then repainted and re-rendered the drafts. Antstream did not comment in the cited follow-up report.
The workflow description is System 3’s account of information supplied by Antstream.
Why It Matters
For creators and publishers, this is a chain-of-custody problem. Contractors need shared definitions for model-assisted work, and the company making a public or platform disclosure needs enough technical detail to describe the process accurately before release.
