Sorry to Spoil the Party
Chapter 3 - Using the “Text to Image” generators for ideation and illustration has become a staple in our office over the past months. Moodboards, facade samples, patterns for PhotoShop - countless opportunities to reach into the candy jar and to indulge in the beauty of our profession. Most of the time however we need things a bit more specific. And specific is not really the strong side of AI.
We tested a few. Results vary from hilarious to promising. The best results were undoubtedly achieved when running on a local computer a variant of StableDiffusion with ControlNet in combination with models obtained though CivitAI that were specifically trained for architectural image generation.
Our Tests
▶️ Urban Resi - a combination of several tools in sequence to simulate something we would view as an automated design concept for residential projects.
▶️ Seleit - one exemplar model by Ismael Seleit.
