NOTE: I have been trying to generate 3D objects with the cheaper models in KREA, however it often fails to generate, or uses the most expensive model -- Hunyuan 3D 3.1 Pro (which costs 300 credits).  Tripo (8 credits) and Hunyuan 3D 2 (10 credits) cost way less credits. However admittedly the expensive pro version does the best job (but gives a "warning" in the AR program).

Kirsten drew everyone

Rupert drew the model only

Midjourney came out with an Alpha version of their new model V8 on March 17, 2026. However you have to have a "personalization profile" to use it.

I object to the "personalization profile" because it pushes me into a bubble, by locking my generations into a particular style.  This just seems to be the path to AI inbreeding to me.  

I'm more prone towards Brian Eno's approach back in 2024:

"..so the thing  becomes an exercise in trying to force the system to do something that is actually against it's nature...because it's nature (ie AI) is to suck up and take the most probable next word...no...I WANT THE LEAST PROBABLE NEXT WORD..."
