Just for fun I took a rubbish photo of myself in my workshop today and uploaded it to Google Gemini's Create Image app on my laptop. Here's that photo.
Well I did say it was crap. LOL.
I then asked Gemini to create a caricature version of my photo. I did a few retries of this question too and here are the results.
I then asked it to create an impressionist version of my photo.
then an oil painting version
then an abstract version
then a charcoal drawing version
then a pastel drawing version
Crazy right? I thought it would be fun to see what AI images you can come up with of you in your workshop, or maybe one of your projects if you like. Have some fun with it and share your images.
Andy -- Old Chinese proverb say: If you think something can't be done, don't interrupt man who is doing it.
Vectric, whose software for CNC is widely used to create and machine 2D and 3D carvings just released an AI based tool call Easy Create for creating 3D models that can be carved on a CNC.Ā I think that you can save them as an STL so you could also 3D print them.Ā Ā You buy 200 credits for $20 and I think thatĀ cost comes out to aboutĀ about 50 cents per ready to carve model. Ā You describe what you want and it comes up with a model.Ā You can similarly provideĀ a photo and it will create a 3D model you can carve on the CNC.Ā You can give it instructions such as removing background or making parts of it less detailed.Ā I have not tried it yet but some of the examples I have seen are pretty impressive.Ā it does a pretty good job of handling faces as long as there are not too many faces in the photo you give it to convert.Ā If you have more than about 5 or 6 faces, everyone starts looking like aliens wearing human masks.Ā The more faces, the worse it gets.Ā Ā I sure that they will improve that as time goes on.Ā Ā
--Nathan, TX. Hire the lazy man. He may not do as much work but that's because he will find a better way.
One of the better commands is in ChatGPT saying... "Anime the attached photo" as demonstrated in another thread.... but then again, people are not prepared to wade through thousands of comments... Ā Maybe we should raise more short threads rather than keep stales one active.Ā This was a major issue back in the LJ days.Ā
At least this thread bring AI out into the open.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
