AI generates images of CJ from GTA San Andreas
In 2021, Rockstar decided to relaunch three successful titles from the GTA line. It was Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, a remastered version of GTA III, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City, old games with improved graphics.
They sought to match the natural evolution of video quality of current games with older titles, which made many people believe that certain images were original.
AI screenshots
As part of the launch of the new remastered version, super realistic images of CJ, the protagonist of one of the games, began to circulate.
The image tried to recreate what a CJ would look like in a modern game and, in a work done by fans, the character had his face recreated and updated.
It turns out that many people believed that this would be the update that would arrive for the new original version of Rockstar, due to the excellent work done by the AI in recreating the character.
CJ wasn't the only character to have his face recreated. Other members of the history of GTA San Andreas, such as Big Smoke, Sean Johnson, Catalina, The Truth and Cesar Vialpando also had their versions made by artificial intelligence.
The images had a lot of repercussions among fans of the series, who have already accumulated more than 30,000 likes and received around 400 comments.
Brazilian authorship
GTA San Andreas was an extremely successful game here in Brazil. The game was present on the computer platform and on the Playstation 2 console, which was quite popular in the country.
And to honor one of the games that marked its generation, a Brazilian decided, through AI, to recreate the faces of the main characters.
The author of these arts is Carlos Henrique (Twitter: @HoozzyAI), an artist who created the images on the Stable Diffusion platform, through ControlNet, a network of neural systems.
The Brazilian artist published the result of his work on Twitter and many admired the quality of the transformations.
