NOT Whistler's Mother

I altered one of my drawings (the first in the October 2, 2023 blog post) with Midjourney -- using their new "tuned style" feature to generate many variations.  The style suffix was: "sitting woman --style kACHEiRF."  Then I animated the results with Pika Labs:


Not Whistler's Mother



I used EzGif to convert the MP4s into animated GIFs:


























CSM
Image-to-3D

I uploaded a PNG image from this series (generated in Midjourney) to CSM, and generated a 3D object:

CSM has changed a bit since I first used it.  It now doesn't work from Discord (at least the one time I tried), but it did work on the CSM website.  There is still a free plan, but now there are paid plans.


  • There is also a new text-to-3D program on Discord from Luma Labs -- called Genie.

Drawn live at North Fourth Art Center in Albuquerque:





























AI ART

MIDJOURNEY
 "Style Tuning"

I created a new style in Midjourney and applied that to my drawing, by uploading the URL of my drawing, and adding "figure --style kACHEiRF" after that:

Midjourney  --style kACHEiRF
My drawing altered
by the style I created in Midjourney


This is Midjourney "style tuning", which I learned from Matt Wolfe's video:
I created this style based on the first drawing in this blog post.  After the "/tune" command, I entered the URL of that first drawing, followed by the prompt "figure," and Midjourney generated this webpage where I can even refine my style.  The code is "kACHEiRF."

--style kACHEiRF


PINOKIO
"AI Art programs Installer"

We used pinokio to install ModelScope Video2Video (Nvideo GPU only) on the supercomputer at Quelab, which alters videos with a text prompt: 


I first uploaded an old video I made at the Sculpture Resource Center in Tucson (~2009):

from the Sculpture Resource Center


Then I uploaded it to ModelScope with the text prompt: "robot dancing," and it altered the video nicely:

ModelScope prompt: "robot dancing"


I also uploaded some of the three second AI videos I made on Pika Labs, entered a new text prompt, and it took about thirty minutes to generate a new AI video with ModelScope:

ModelScope prompt: "dancing"

ModelScope prompt: "stampede of javelinas"

  • I could not do this remotely using AnyDesk however

I was encouraged to use PINOKIO by Matt Wolfe:  YouTube: AI Swiss Army Knife: Free Tool Does EVERYTHING!


LUMA
"Text to 3D"

There is a new "text to 3D" program in Discord from LUMA LABS called "Genie."

I entered the prompt: "javelina robot" and the program generated four versions:

Four 3D versions
of "javelina robot"



Then I downloaded the third version as a 3D file, which can be downloaded here:
This GLB file can be uploaded to <model-viewer> to be tested in AR (Augmented Reality) -- but that is good enough and easy to take some video footage, that could be further processed with AI (say with ModelScope).

LUMA LABS Genie prompt: "robot javelina"


I also learned about this from Matt Wolfe's video:


NOTE:
LUMA LABS brings us all that closer to the "STREAMLINED AI AR 3D FANTASY" that I mentioned at the end of the Shap-E blog post back on May 14, 2023  -- where the smart phone would automatically generated a 3D AR object when held over an image.


UPCOMING PRINT SHOWS

We are part of a bigger exhibition at thet the North Fourth Art Center in Albuquerque -- as we are showing 88 BUCKET PRINTS.  The openings are on November 10th, and December 2nd, 2023:
