Experimenting with prompt based machine learning algorithms to generate images. These are mostly creating using Midjourney. This is a technology I did not see coming. In a sense it works the same as a human artist. Collecting inspiration over a lifetime of observation and drawing from that to create a new idea. I am totally blown away by this technology and believe it will be dramatically changing the studio production workflow. Especially during the design phase. Immediately being able to explore a variety of looks on a concept, and then viewing infinite variations of each look is such a massive leap forward it will take some time to understand how it will fit into a professional workflow. From concept inspiration to elements for matte painting and textures. Even just lighting and color ideas. This is a really amazing tool.
I will post some explorations as well as some variations created. There is a great power in the way you can focus in on designs and create variations at every level. This is not limited to only text input. If a designer has come up with a look the image can also be fed into the generator and use it for inspiration on varying the style.
