Hey @doneyes! Yes, if you click the 3 dot menu next to a generation in the “Saved Textures” list, you can export the texture as a png. You can then edit the texture and re-import!
I don’t think they’ll lose their job yet, this thing made a texture for my balloon, it looks good from one side the rest of it looks terrible:

I’ve been using it the last 2 days and its pretty cool but some points i’d like to make.
The First is the limit of previews and Applies ( I understand its just beta ) It makes finding the right texture problematic because your almost pressured into using whatever you get else you waste your attemps.
The Second is the Graininess of the textures On some smaller meshes it’s bearable but on larger meshes like a small diner I made the Texture was very Grainy as well as very Pixelated. (Also for some reason put words where the windows was supposed to be, and the texture is off as you can see )
The third is I’ve noticed that the other preview angles don’t line up, often times the textures are colored differently or the image is completely different and details as well.
(As you can see the textures and details are different between previews and no way to select which you prefer )
And Again I understand it’s a new beta feature but I feel these issues should be addressed, however I really love this feature! it’s such a help when trying to figure out what my buildings should look like

a much much more difficult task; harsh and bizarre models are already possible with AI, but it lacks any sense of connection between parts and they basically consist of voxels, not surfaces
When will the AI game generator be out?

the continuation of ai in the roblox world is very possible to advance the game world in roblox, I really like this feature roblox, it makes it very easy for us as builders to create cool and good buildings.

I don’t want to sound ungrateful because at the end of the day, this is cool and real people worked on it. But, how exactly can you pour resources into this and still, after so many years, not have 4K resolution texture support?
It baffles my brain.

I agree with this. It even counts failed prompts which is kinda frustrating to encounter as it’s of no fault of the users.
I have some models that when the game tries to apply textures to, it just crashes with no error message

The generator is giving me this error when entering a prompt:
And it’s also decreasing the amount of previews left even though it didn’t return anything.

This happened to me frequently. It’s like a 1/3 chance of a success and even if it correctly applies a texture, it has to look satisfactory. So its ~1/5 chance of looking good enough to save. I find myself reaching the 35 prompt limit faster than I do the 10 max uploads.
However these are my results of trying to get creepy and uncanny monsters textured. (*The Monster on the right’s head is not AI)

I have only succeeded a couple of times, then it completely stopped working. I don’t know what’s the issue here.

this has been neat to play around with but one feedback is all of the textures it generates currently seem to suffer from an extreme dithering look/effect, like if you were saving with only 256 colors back in the day. It’s not a pixel density thing, it’s more how it handles shading/gradient/color areas in comparison to the preview. If there were some options to tone down the dithering this could be more versatile.
I haven’t tried it yet but it looks like it could be useful for making colour control maps.
How colour control map?!
The colour control map would be separated into multiple black/white images that would be applied to the model with a colour tint depending on the players primary secondary and tertiary colour choices.
As a Graphic designer I thought the same when stuff like Midjourney and Dall-e came out. But in reality most will still opt for the Human developer. I can see this only being useful in certain use cases like for terrain and irregular models.
A person who could afford to hire a texture designer would, a person who couldn’t wouldn’t anyways. So this feature will only help solo devs and not harm you.

I really wish we would get a node editor instead of a ai generator, ai doesn’t really give you as much customization as nodes do cause u just put a sentence into ai and it makes something you might want, but with nodes you can tweak them to try to make what you want

idk alot of companies are using ai and laying off people even when they can afford to hire them just to save a few dollars out of millions they already have 
. i feel like people will do the same because i don’t think someone would want to spend money where they don’t need to even if they are rich 
Edit : there are people willing to pay a ai to make work for them instead of an artist

i feel like you don’t really care because it’s not affecting you right now 
Ai isn’t just empowering creators it’s replacing the people who helped create those creations in media. Whether that be a TV show, movie, game. Why do you need real humans to put any time, soul, or effort into that, when you can have an ai do it for you, for way cheaper. You don’t need to pay an ai, Plus Ai can work 24/7/365, humans cannot.
and those artist who have spent many years of their life dedicated to their art and mastering the craft, loose their jobs to ai and no longer have a source of income, where will they find work in a saturated market where everyone else is also losing their jobs and nobody wants to hire?
There are Hundreds of people that go behind making anything like a short film, a movie, a tv shows, a game and multiple departments too, like concept art, storyboarding, writing, character design, etc. What will happen to all of those people once they are replaced by a ai? where will they find work, how will they use their degree?
And if we’re heading into a society where anything creative is done with AI we will loose creativity as a whole, one of the things that make us human. Because how can someone stay creative if they aren’t practising their creativity, having an ai create everything for you isn’t developing creativity. It’s like having someone paint on a canvas for you, you aren’t practicing painting skills because someone else is doing the painting for you.
Ai probably won’t just stop at creative jobs either, it could even reach into other jobs maybe factory jobs for example because why pay people to work, when you can have an automated ai do all the factory work, that can pump out products 24/7. Into office jobs because why have a real person respond to phone calls, when a ai can just respond and do it for them.
Job loss is never great even if it is “how we advance” because that means people are loosing their income, their source for paying off things like debt or bills, mortgages, food, finances, etc
But with job loss userally comes a new industry for those people who have lost their jobs to go to, ai isn’t really a big industry you won’t need like 100 people just to maintain a simple ai i don’t think.
and if every job is replaced by ai ( very dystopia definability not a possibility lol, but if it is. ai overlords please treat me well 
) what will people do how will people make their income? the only people winning are people at the top because they won’t need to lose money and pay people to work, they’d only pay for the maintenance of the ai.
I don’t think ai is super mega bad, i just fear if things continue like they are without any regulations there will be dire consequences for creative mediums as a whole, just a bit of introspection lol

A node editor would also be the more moral option as well. AI isn’t that customizable, but a node editor would be much better. There could be a texture editor like Quixel Mixer.

I don’t wanna play the devil’s advocate here but I will be honest when I say that ethics can’t exist where business already does and business can’t happen where ethics exist.
AI is just another invention like any other major breakthrough, it’s meant to decrease the dependency on humans so an AI can work tirelessly without a constant need of payment.
When you talk about degrees, well then the next generation will have to choose a path which is hard (if not impossible) for AI to replace. This takes up almost every field in the creative side. That’s just how it is now and one can not make a living out of something where AI specializes in, say in the next few years.
People will lose jobs, it has been seen a million times in history.
This is no different. AI being “good” or “bad” is a matter of perspective.
Visionaries, science degree holders, bureaucrats, CEOs, politicians would say AI is a boon
Creative field workers, ‘freelancers’, degree holders from replaceable fields would say AI is a curse

Business can exist where ethics exist and vise versa 
? you don’t have to screw people over to gain a profit, or do illegal things. There have been many societies in the past with honest business and fair trade 
The essence of good business is ethics, and Buisness is not the problem, it’s people. 
Because people love being greedy they will do whatever they can to have more at the detriment of others. Most jobs lost throughout history had replacements for those people.
Human Computers went into other jobs like working for NASA in, researching, programming, maintaining the computers and other mathematical jobs. With the close of one market came a new market. they were able to use their skills as a human computer in other jobs
But artist can’t use their skill in other jobs if those jobs are being replaced, artists will have to learn an entirely new skill set if they even want to go into ai. and companies probably wouldn’t want to hire a new artist learning computer programming when there are other better candidates who have been in the industry for years
For example, a well-known artist in the industry a while ago created a feature for 3d animation that takes speech and creates mouth movements that sync up for the 3d model. This is technology working with artists because some of those artist that work on the mouth syncing can do other thing for the animation. and there will still be people checking if the generated mouth syncing is right or fits
Ai generation is just replacing the entire industry as a whole because with a few sentences you can get a entire cinematic scene ( almost ), you can get backgrounds, fast storyboards animatics, etc. Alot of skill and time goes into these industries ( that are being replaced ) and if you have no understanding of them or the work that goes into making anything-
( Another example would be the invention of photoshop and editing photos, when it first came out a bunch of people were annoyed because it took away some skill for photo taking in their words. But photo editors were a tool that opened photo taking to many people, and it didn’t replace the skill a taking a photo takes because if you wanted to take a good photo you needed to know the principles of that, people couldn’t just generate a perfect photo with their photo editor.
Ai isn’t a tool but a replacement, it does stuff for you instead of helping you do stuff. )
-It would make sense why someone wouldn’t care, and would think it would be better to have ai do everything creative because it’s faster and no one would have to do “boring art”. Too many people see art as something tedious than something necessary, interesting, or replaceable because they “aren’t good at it” 
. People aren’t born with the natural ability to do art, people get interested in that in whatever way, practice it, and hone their skill over many many years. if you’re just starting out you won’t be any good because you’ve never tried and people improve in art at different rates.
I’ve picked up drawing again like a year ago and I’ve been improving a lot 
i thought i wouldn’t be able to get at the skill level i am but i have! I’m still not an amazing artist but what matters is I’m trying to become better and grow.
I don’t think it’s also a good thing that one of the things that make us humans human is being replaced, art as a whole throughout history has been a important medium for our development, and growth as people. Art is so much more than just drawing, it’s pretty much anything creative , and replacing that creativity is replacing a part of what makes us human? because why would future generations want to do anything with art or creativity if the industry is replaced. Creativity goes into so many other things in our lives and i believe without art we will become less creative.
And to me in my personal opinion ai generation feels a bit lazy and kinda wrong to have something generate something for you, instead of creating something out of passion or heart, it takes away from that creativity of coming up with your own idea almost. others could use it but i won’t 
i can’t see myself ever having ai generate my webtoon’s panel or design a character for me because it takes away from that process i enjoy! because i want to be involved in the creation of my own project but it seems like other people don’t 
or maybe aren’t able to in the extent i am?
It also seems like people that don’t have or know the skills to create things like animations, textures, music, or art in general see it as a good thing that they can have ai generate something for them, because they don’t see themselves taking the time to get those skills in the first place. Because not everyone has the time to learn all these skills, but people also don’t want to hire people that do have these skills because they might not have the money to do so.
Ai coooooooould work with humans if there were proper regulations in place like not allowing corporations to use ai generation as a replacement for humans and having people state if ai is being used in the development of a product, but i don’t see anything being done at the moment. I could understand why a sad poor indie studio would use ai, but i will never understand or even I guess justify is the right word why a corporation would use AI generation as a replacement for humans they have the ability to hire.
