As someone not in the gaming industry, what does 'visual coding/scripting' mean? Any links or wikipedia articles that describe it? (Or an explanation yourself?) I'm curiuos if it could work well with new developments in AI generated images (stable diffusion etc).

Unreal Blueprints for example https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/blueprints-visual-sc... That's the leading visual scripting system

This a guy has very good tutorials in video form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY6Nl-OEhSo

Houdini is also a leading example, but for the 3D/VFX/movie industry, where nodes/networks are basically visual scripting to do basically everything in the product.

Visual coding is still highly symbolic and structured, typically a directed graph representing data flow. The "visual" part is just a middleman so to speak.

I don't have a lot of experience with AI-generated images, but from what I've seen it doesn't look like its strength is generating highly structured/logical images.
