AI Origami Animals

I used Midjourney (version 4) to generate origami animals, beginning with those that live (or lived) in New Mexico. I entered the prompt: "origami of a (animal) designed in SolidWorks." Then I uploaded to RemoveBG to make PNG files with transparent backgrounds:



DOWNLOAD all the animals posted (origami_animals_posted.zip 7MB) and other PNG origami animals on my GDrive to make collage for AI (artificial intelligence).  Dark outlined "Stroked" PNGs and vector SVGs are also available for download:

Midjourney prompt: "animals in the desert"

 Three legged dog

Armadillo



Mastodon

 Half giraffe, half elephant

Camel




Wouldn't it be great if one could upload a picture to some software program and have it make real origami from it? Hmmm...what about a text-to-Pepakura software?


HYBRIDIZER

Hybridizer is an online program for making chimeras.  I uploaded the chimera images that I created, and used the same Midjourney prompt: "origami of a (animal) designed in SolidWorks":


"Short-legged Chameleon"

Midjourney prompt: "origami of a lizard squirrel designed in SolidWorks"

"Mustang Crocodile"

Chimera Paint Evolution



Chimera Painter is an online program from Google to paint your own chimera creature. I uploaded the ugly chimera image that I created, and used the similar Midjourney prompt: "origami of a flying squirrel designed in SolidWorks":

AI COLLAGE SANDBOX

Anyone is welcome to remix these AI origami animals and make collages. ARTBREEDER invites visitors to do that for free online with their collage program.  One can download the animal origami files from this blog post or from my GDrive. In that way this blog post can also function as an art sandbox for experimentation.

I collaged four of the origami animals (left)
with the prompt: "Animals in the desert"
and Artbreeder generated
an AI silhouette composition (right)


1)  I first accepted the AI collage that Artbreeder generated, and uploaded that to Midjourney with the prompt: "animals in the desert":

2)  I then enlarged one of the four results, and further tweaked the color with Palette FM and added clouds with the AI brush painting program Prose Painter:

The final result
went through four AI programs


3)  However the best results came when I uploaded the simple collage I made in Artbreeder -- without using the Artbreeder Render button -- directly to Midjourney with the prompt: "animals in the desert":

Maybe we can generate some new fake Geologic Epochs
that might have existed in the multiverse of the distant past
(as if Jay Matternes' murals weren't surrealist enough)

Stable Diffusion Playground
text-to-image alternative

I entered "eocene animals" in the free online Stable Diffusion Playground, and it generated four pretty decent images.  This program does not allow one to upload an image though.
