Using AI in your "traditional" artworks

This came across my desk this morning as part of my nVidia developer news. Free but you need RTX graphics. Well nVidia; what would one expect. Win 10 and any RTX enabled card will do it as far as I know. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/studio/canvas/ Should integrate easily enough with whatever other software you use as it will output PSD documents. I used a limited release a year ago and it was pretty good then. This beta update came out for the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas a week or two ago.

WHOA!!! I have been meaning to explore this. Wasn't sure what it was about. Glad you posted about this, PDG! Now I think I can do my AI artwork offline. Right now, I'm trying to work out an idea for this month's challenge (Egypt). Just saw a movie about the Egyptian gods and that gave me an idea for a scene. So, off I go!

You're welcome Hawk. Hope you can use it.

I think park they missed another use for AI that would help with their "normal"art.  Reverse engineering.  Not just using it for postwork. Use it to take a anime/style character over to the more realistic look that can be modeled in Daz or Poser.

Generating a 3D object with a clean mesh would be great; but the tools aren't there yet. Soon, but not quite yet. It's the depiction of the unknown backside of the mesh. Generative AI can't "invent" unseen information like the back of a mesh with accuracy. However; there are models being refined ATM that will do such. If you are feeling energetic and willing to suffer disappointment, I can turn you on to such models. I don't recommend them for casual use.

Now; if you want to turn a sketch or drawing into a "realistic" character; not a problem. Something called Controlnet can do this easily using a number of different models. I'll show something later on. It's a little early in the AM to get my motor running, even with a pot of Fafnir's brew.

Thanks park.  I need more than just his brew today.  Doing the windows on the Catholic Church today. Amazed the truck didn't break down.

Yeah; well creativity is at a low ATM. I had to call the boys in the white bunny suits twice today. Once when I went to get my Christmas decor from the basement, which I never did get; and then again when I went to take out the recycling. If the waiting list for new housing wasn't longer than my projected lifespan; I'd be gone from here years ago.

In the meantime; take a look at this: https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet

Thanks.  The breakdown comment comes from the last 3 Easters wanting to go to mass. My truck would break down all three times.
