A piece of art created by Midjourney has won first prize in the Colorado State Fair’s fine art competition. Théâtre D’opéra Spatial (Space Opera Theatre), in which three women in flowing red and white robes are seen in a large baroque hall, won in the digitally manipulated photography category. Edmond de Belamy, a blurry portrait […]
The TikTok account darkside.ai, run by Milan Jaram Creations, has posted a set of rather unnerving images of characters from The Simpsons as real people created using Midjourney. Elsewhere, dark side.ai has asked the generative AI art tool to produce what it thinks SpongeBob SquarePants and South Park characters would look like in real life […]
Conscious that new generative AI art tools Midjourney, Dall-E 2 and Stable Diffusion may be as baffling for some as they are exciting for others, but nonetheless important and worth knowing about, here’s a short YouTube video explaining in simple terms what they can do, especially in a professional context, and, to an extent, how […]
German neuroscientist Fabian Stelzer is in the process of making a 1970s-style science fiction film called ‘Salt’ using only generative AI art tools like DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney. Apart from his own, a tool called Murf produces all the voices you hear. With the aim of creating a “community cut”, Fabian has told […]
NVIDIA Instant NeRF (Neural Radiance Field), the company’s inverse rendering tool that turns a set of static images into a realistic 3D scene, has won the Best Paper award at SIGGRAPH 2022 which took place in Vancouver earlier this month. One of the best uses of Instant NeRF seen so far comes from San Francisco-based […]
An MIT project supported by Sony has demonstrated that photorealistic 3D colour holograms can now be generated quickly, even on a smartphone. Generating the vast amounts of data required to enable stable holography has already been considered a significant 3D visualisation challenge, so this could represent a big breakthrough. Obvious applications include VR and AR […]
