“By way of my methodology, the gist of it’s utilizing AI diffusion fashions to generate tough compositions or creating compositions with conventional digital instruments after which feeding these into the diffusion fashions to generate hundreds of iterations.
“After a strict choice course of, the iterations are Photoshopped collectively into a brand new composition after which fed once more into the diffusion mannequin for additional refinement, after which again once more into Photoshop.
“This creates a suggestions loop between handbook digital instruments and AI instruments giving the artist full management. On this manner, the AI instruments are artwork directed in direction of a particular consequence, working in the same strategy to a render engine. When they’re completed, the photographs will be taken into normal post-production software program like After Results, DaVinci, or Nuke the place they are often animated.”
