AI: Suiting Up With Midjourney
Designbivouac is experimenting with the integration of AI into the creative process. It is a study in prompting and editing. Many creatives have mentioned that they treat Midjouney like an intern. Over the years, I’ve seen many interns create invaluable work, primarily when mentored well and treated with patience and respect. Thus, there are high hopes for Midjourney and various other AI visualization offerings. It's hard to believe we are just getting started.
The session began with the prompt: space suit with textures and white metal plating, dark visors, lights, valves, photorealistic, futuristic. Rendering time was about 35 seconds.
The image in the lower right was selected for further evolution.
Variations were run as a single pass. The variation in the upper right was selected for refinement based upon the revised visor shape and details on the upper rear of the helmet.
The abdominal region was selected for focused variational refinement.
Ultimately the original abdominal visuals were chosen.
Final version zoomed out 2x. This version proved ideal for the next bivouac mission.
I look forward to when these tools can function further with voice input and regions from one image can be swapped with another. Perhaps that is already possible. We could be much closer to interactions like those visualized in Bladerunner during the photo enhancement scene. Enhance!
