Real-life Skyrim Charcters According to AI

The visual side of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has aged and does not allow us to take the NPCs we encounter seriously anymore. Thanks to AI we can see how the companions known from the game would look like in reality.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  • One content creator decided to see how NPCs from Skyrim would look like in real life;
  • With the use of Adobe Sparks and AI, he made the well-known characters more realistic.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is not the youngest game on the market. Details of such elements as NPC faces are aged by today's standards. Everyone who is curious how the characters could look in reality can find out thanks to AI and Adobe Sparks app.

The author of the YouTube channel Miroslav Anbeegod, decided to make the characters we encounters on our travels in Skyrim more real. To do this, he created an extensive database of photos of real-life celebrities. Then, thanks to an algorithm available in Adobe Spark, he adapted them to the characters in the game. This enabled him to test how the AI imagines Bethesda's RPG characters if they were living in the real world.

Anbeegod created separate videos showing the effects of the AI on the default character models and modified versions. It's easy to see that the original versions of NPCs tend to be more difficult for the AI. This is most likely due to their low quality. However, we must admit that the work done by the AI delivers some interesting effects.
