MJ V 05.3 - Visions of CHAOS - Stable Diffusion - FireFly !! It is all changing so fast..
The tools have changed so much in the past 5 months. I have spent my spare time really digging into a lot of the latest and greatest. I really and going into Comfy UI more nad will likely put a section up for it. It feels like Nuke or Substance Designer in terms of node based creation. I have also been using MidJourney for look development for a friends film as well as personal work. There has been a point where I am using some of the images not for concept work or photo work but for Ideas for oil painting and graphite drawing. I will post some of those pieces at some point. All of these tool sets really are great for Idea generation and the building up of ideas.

Using MidJourney, Runway.ml Gen 2, Stable Diffusion
Using MJ, I created a series of prompts to create some ideas for a western piece I am designing. I took material form the script and worked it into various prompts that I could get a sense of what the Director wanted.
I referenced movies and did a movie breakdown sheet to make sure we are all on the same page. From there I spent some time crafting some work using AI. This gets the mood and vibe moving and you really know where and how they want to shoot the film. I Also built out temporary sets in 3ds Max based on these images to get some ideas on how to shoot this using Virtual production.
Using a image from Stable Diffusion and then running that into Mid Journey, finding ways to update a previously made logo and branding idea.
Using MJ, I created a series of prompts based on the company and their goals, what they are going after etc.. It did not take long to get myself into a great groove with the looks I was searching for.
This was cool, I actually went nuts on this part, but in the end, I knew what they didn't want and quickly changed course. The cool thing is that the material they rejected I am using on my own personal work.. I love the style.
