    Question for the 'AI is not art' adherents.  Am I more or less of an artist if I use the following workflow instead of a workflow using a genesis figure in Daz Studio?

    (1) Modeled, rigged, and posed my own human figure in Carrara.

    (2) Created and conformed my own clothing and hair in Carrara for the figure in Step 1.

    (3) Used an AI program to detect the pose in step 2.

    (4) Used an AI program to detect the outlines in step 2.

    (5) Used an AI program to generate an image using the poses and outlines for a specified style.

    Thanks, Diomede.

    I am trying to find inspiration for my own creations,

    even if it is a long way to go.

    Just thinking about possibilities of images matching,

    that one see in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024.

    Maybe such feature exists in the other image editing programs.

    Nice hair and cloth animation, Wendy.

    Wow - well spotted, @Artini.  From the product description.  "Face Transfer 2 is an AI-powered system that from a photo transfers face shape, texture, and tone to create a look-a-like 3D version of family members, yourself, really whomever you want! It is compatible with Genesis 9 figures, employs higher-resolution texture maps, refines the image projection process, and improves dynamic geometry adjustments."

    Here is another example of an attempt by me to mix my custom models with AI, intending for comic style.  Everything in the base scene from which the following image was derived was modeled, rigged, etc by me, including the human figure.  See models in my post from November 23rd above.  I then used my base render output from Carrara in the Controlnet channels of Stable Diffusion, along with text prompts, to get the following.

    Another nice image, Diomede, in the style, I also like.

    I have spent some time during the weekend experimenting with Unity,

    trying to blend Daz 3D assets with AI backgrounds, but still need more time.

     

  • ArtiniArtini Posts: 9,458

    Also spotted your workflow with AI, Diomede.

    Great explanation of the process.

  • DAZ and Carrara render but the music is entirely AI

    In a land of tales and glory
    A traveller set on his quest
    Through valleys deep, and mountains hoary
    With a song deep within his chest


    Oh, the melodies he sang
    Echoed through the starry night
    With each strum of his lyre
    He brought joy and light

    In a time of knights and castles fair
    A rover wandered with an adventurous air
    With a heart full of valor, he sought his fate
    Through ancient forests and tales of late

    Medieval rover, oh, where will you roam
    Guided by stars, to places unknown
    With sword in hand and a spirit so free
    Medieval rover, your legend we'll see

    In a world of castles and knights
    A rover traveled by moonlight
    With tales of kings and wars, he'd sing
    A wandering soul with a golden string

    Oh, medieval rover of boundless dreams
    Roaming the lands, where no one redeems
    Through misty forests and rivers wide
    His legacy echoes, forever to guide

    Great stuff, Artini and Wendy.  yes 

    Artini, Image2image sure looks like a success.  Hope that is the look you were going for.  Was the hand in the pocket something you prompted for, or a happy accident?

    Wendy.  What do you use for your music AI?  Thanks for the breakdown and finished.  Inspirational.  I am still having error conflicts trying to use SD extensions related to animation.  I've asked about it and am told a solution is to disable and then re-enable the extensions at each step.  Ugh.  Is that what you do?  Or are your animation extensions working without conflicts?

    the breakdown one used a local build through Visions of Chaos of Meta's MusicGen https://huggingface.co/spaces/facebook/MusicGen 

    another online version here https://waveformer.replicate.dev/

    Visions of Chaos which I use for Auto 1111 as well as most other things https://softology.pro/voc.htm besides working on my PC it has a useful disc space management utility for removing python stuff you are no longer using from the venv etc folders without having to go full uninstall chase down remove all the stuff as it scans and lets you check stuff you don't want anymore

    machine learning can rapidly fill up your C drive otherwise

    my main video in that last one is me playing VSTi instruments on my MIDI keyboard, not AI wink

    A1111 self contained or github repositories do not work at all anymore on my rig, my iGPU has hosed many machine learning programs, fortunately not VOC so far

    I will need to address this some day with hardware, maybe a usb adaptor for my second monitor or a visit to the repair shop to find why my 2080Ti display ports don't work

    Thanks, Diomede.

    No, the hand in the pocket was just a happy accident,

    but it looks ok for me.

    Now I spend more time exploring the new Face Transfer 2 using images generated by AI

    as a reference photos.

    What a huge area to explore...

    Great, looks like you have a lot of fun making these videos, Wendy.

    Happy New Year and all the best for you.
