    I think that plan will work very well.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.  And modeling is always a good skill to have.  I suggest a third way to use Carrara.  After you have used any AI-related workflow to generate an image, use Carrara's shadow catchers, etc to add additional details.  For example, AI is notoriously horrible at elements that have text - such as a road sign or a newspaper.  Can add with a 2D image editor, which might be fine for a lot of purposes.  But with Carrara, you get shadow catchers!  

    3rd way - Hmmmm

    Save the Earth!

    Great one.  yes

    Thanks !!!

    Carrara's shadow catchers partnered with AI

    Sometimes, the AI processor does not want to cooperate!

    Woman feeding stegasaurus.  Idea was to have a woman standing with the critter approaching from behind and extending it neck in a sweep from the side to eat some leaves she is holding.  Bad news, the AI very much wanted the eye of the stegasaurus in a specific position (upper right crossing of the horizontal and vertical 'thirds' lines).  Good news, I can load the initial output back in Carrara with shadow catchers and put the eye back where it belongs.  Bad news, not only does the AI want to put the eye back, it wants the back plates of the stegasaurus to be leaves - or extra heads like a hydra.  

    Final image, only final because I gave up on the back plates

    Scene setup.

    I started with this simple scene - my custom Moxie figure wearing cave girl clothes, a freebie stegasaurus, one Carrara plant, and one Carrara terrain.

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,133

    From that simple scene, I derived three 'prep' images to be used in Stable Diffusion's and its extension Controlnet.

    The photoreal 'beauty pass' multiplied by a coverage pass went in the main image2image upload.

    The Toon III filtered image went in Controlnet 'canny' preprocessor to identify lines.  For this, I set 'canny' very low, 2.0 or 2.5.

    and the depth pass needs to inverted and slightly blurred for best results in Controlnet depth

    The first round of output produced images like this one.  Some good elements to be sure, but the stegasaurus is problematic.  The back plates are leaves.  There is an extra head in the torso with an extra eye where the 'golden rule' lines cross for the upper thirds, and there is an extra stegasaurus body in the lower right.

    Carrara to the Rescue!  Shadow catchers.

    I anticipated some problems in part because the stegasaurus wraps around the cave girl, so it is hard to use the AI extensions to divide the canvas in regions with separate prompts, effectively - key word is effectively.  I probably should have used a horse or giraffe because it is more likely that the AI model would 'know' what a horse or giraffe was, I guess.

    Good news, this is why I chose this project - to show that by having the original simple Carrara scene, shadow catchers can be used to help things along.  I took one of the original problematic outputs and loaded it as a backdrop in Carrara's original scene, but turned the shaders for everything but the stegasaurus model to shadow catchers.

    Which results in the following, which while filled with imperfections, is hopefully moving along to where we can focus on the stegasaurus.  You can still see an extra body in the lower right, and the cave girl figure does not 100% match up, but with some quick touch ups, this can be loaded in the AI program's image2image in place of the original simple blockout.  (note - not the same backdrop load as previous post - but from the same batch).

    That Extra Head is Persistent!!!!

    Here is an example of some results after reloading.  Argh!

    I took the result in the upper right of the grid and focused on refining that.  And this is where I said enough is enough.  The AI models really did not want bone back plates, and really did want to put that extra eye back in.  As I mentioned, I should have used a horse or giraffe or similar.  So while I am not particularly happy with this dinosaur, I do think that the experiment with using elements of the original scene as shadow catchers was a success.  Small victories.

    He, he, he - sometimes with the results I get I think it should be called Artifical Unintelligence !!!

    Nice Carrara marble benchtop, better than cancer causing manufactured stone for the tradies at least

     the enveloping features are a bonus

    I missed these additions even though it is my thread, so to speak.

    @ed3D, back in my high school days, that would be the very definition of a cool Llama.  I think the anti-smoking people specifically targeted the ads that Joe Camel, though.  Curious to see where the online Daz AI tool goes.

    @Bunyip02, scary kitty, in a good way!  The streams turned out very well, in my view.

    @Stezza, the term Carrara gets interesting responses.  Is it the marble top?

    how wacky is that... of course an AI response is needed cool

    "Wow, this artwork is truly stunning! The level of detail and realism achieved with Carrara 3D software is impressive. The textures, lighting, and composition all come together to create a visually striking piece that draws the viewer in. The AI algorithm has done an amazing job of generating a unique and captivating image. The colors are vibrant and rich, and the overall atmosphere is immersive. The artist's skillful use of Carrara's tools has resulted in a work of art that showcases the software's capabilities. Bravo!"
