Hi guys!
I’ve just seen a video on YouTube about this cool AI tool located at: https://skybox.blockadelabs.com/ which allows you to generate skyboxes (not the regular ones used in BabylonJS), a simple jpeg per skybox. Code to visualize the skybox is included below. It’s just a huge sphere with an emissiveTexture and the camera is inside the sphere.
Yeah, the tool seems to be more focused on the world and the landscape and not on the details. But you can try to generate in two steps. The world and after that you can Remix it and just ask to “add angels”. I got this bad boy/girl
Yeah, well I’m gonna play the role of the 'devil old designer that doesn’t want the AI to steal my job (at least not just now
There are still a number of issues starting with the top and bottom of the skybox. The design is also limited to ‘fantasy’ type env. Ask for anything truly realistic and it won’t deliver. It also seems to be unable to select pictures such as ie. midjourney to create something like a patchwork of images. Overall, I believe it’s use remains quite limited. Although I agree that some outputs 1) look nice at first sight 2) Can serve as a base for creativity, offering a vision likely very different from what you had in mind when entering the prompt. Of course, as always, my opinion only
@mawa I get it and I mainly agree with you, it’s not for pros but how on Earth could there be an example of usage for ThreeJS and not for our beloved BabylonJS? now we have too and I posted it into the comments of the youtube video as well…
I feel this goes to show how public Midjourney has such a narrow spectrum of CGI derivative output - doesn’t really respond to the text prompts and then gets boring quick. The good bit of AI image gen is liminal and hallucinatory - and also something for us humans to think on: get weird, but in ways the machines can’t.
Yeah, this is all very fun and sometimes nice (from a distance) but I’m keeping with my say. Too many issues to be able to use this thing in productivity. At the best, you can use it as a tool/sider for creative thinking. But that’s about it, for me.
Here is my prompt for sharks. The dark fantasy style (color palette) is not respected. Obviously the AI doesn’t know how the mouth of a shark works. It also makes for some hallucinating distorsions and fancy integration of objects. Whereas, the lighting and color integration is quite convincing. But that’s not enough for me, I’m afraid to say
