Works Featured:

Théâtre D’opéra Spatial by Jason M. Allen

Apps/Technique: Midjourney, Photoshop

Details:

• Through 900 iterations using the tool Midjourney, Jason created three final images by selecting and some retouching work in Photoshop, for example he re-created the dark hair for one of the female figures when Midjourney had taken away her head.
• He then upscaled the result using Gigapixel AI from Topaz and entered them into the Colorado State Fair’s annual art competition.
• One of the judges at the competition mentioned that while the piece had mentioned maturity in its description the judge did not know that it was partly generated by AI after judging it, but he still stands by his decision to award it the first place price.

AI stylized selfies by @SirWrender

Apps/Technique: Stable Diffusion, Dreambooth

Details:

• The innovation lies in training models specifically for a face, so that you later can refer to that and incorporate it into stable diffusions large model
• currently based on the technology called dreambooth, where you have to be quite technical to make it work. But this technology will make it into the mainstream tools shortly.

Stable Diffusion to EBsynth with Koe voices by @LighthiserScott

Apps/Technique: Stable Diffusion, EBsynth, Koe Recast

Details:

• Creating smooth animation with AI is still a difficult process as of yet. Scott gets around this brilliantly with his tests using EBsynth and Stable Diffusion.
• He starts out with a real world footage clip of himself, reciting the poem, and uses that as input into stable diffusion via the img2img process. Then EBsynth is used to synthesize the movement of the AI generated images over time.
• He finishes it off by utilizing Koe recast, as a way of synthesizing the voices in the animation.
