121 little characters with pointy ears. A small village.

All 100% designed with #AI.

Men, women, kids, soldiers, wizards, goblins, etc. All created in less than one hour, while keeping a solid style consistency.

Thread 🧵

#StableDiffusion #Dreambooth #Gaming @Scenario_gg
I bought a pack of characters with pointy ears. They made me think of the goblins in Harry Potter (but more human-like)

I trained a finetune using @Scenario_gg (internal alpha) and started prompting (calling them "persons").

At first, you get this, but then the fun begins.👇
A basic prompt, no modifier ("a person")

All are perfectly consistent (the clothes, the ears, the accessories). There are some variations, though.
For a village, you need males and females, so I did "a female person".

Despite having zero female characters in the initial training data, it generated this:
Any village has kids, so kids I did. Boys and girls.

With pointy ears like their parents.
The girls look even better.
When a specific character looks interesting, it's worth generating some variants (different poses, accessories, expressions).

I just use img2img on the initial character to get 16, 40 or more.
They can dance, too ("a dancing person").
Every village needs protection, so I did some soldiers.
The soldiers could be samurais, too (with pointy ears).

This gets further than the original style, so there are some discrepancies.
Same for "the Inca warriors"
Or the African tribesmen (raw output, without background removal)
I usually finish explorations with fun prompts, for example, using "#plasticine" (newly discovered modifiers).

"A plasticine figurine of a person"

They would be amazing, 3D printed.
That's it!

It's the type of exploration we want people to do, using @Scenario_gg, soon.

I have some important news to share!

We’re shipping scenario.gg in a few weeks (@Scenario_gg).

It's the ultimate creation machine for making high-quality, style-consistent #game assets. Image
We enables game developers & artists to easily create 2D game assets, from a web browser, using custom-trained #GenerativeAI engines.

No technical skills and no complex software implementation are required.

100% online, anytime, anywhere. Image
.@Scenario_gg lets you create infinite consistent content, similar to what I described in my recent posts (swords, chests, books, characters, potions, cards & more)

Game creators can create incredible, high-quality assets in hours (vs. days or weeks using a traditional process) Image

I just tested Covid+ & I'm shivering with a 102F fever, but I'm still prompting🚀

Here's my exploration on "#badges". LMK what you think (hopefully that will make me feel better 🥰💪)

Mega-thread 🧵 w. short explanations but excellent style consistency.

100% #AI-generated
Badges. The "trophies/achievements" awarded to players. Ubiquitous in many games. Sometimes highly esteemed.

I trained SD on various badges (from "Graphic River", to which I have a subscription). I'm looking for very intricate patterns.

Here's a first run (prompt: "a badge").
Because of the skull in the batch above, I tried "badge, skull, symmetrical , realistic, intricately detailed, beautiful, 3D render"

And here are the skulls.💀

Stop everything you're doing and just use "plasticine" in your prompts lol.

New #goblin model coming.

👀

I've made some gems too. 100% #AI-generated 🤯

Sorry, I don't have much time for a detailed thread this time... too much work atm. I just wanted to put this out there and show it's really working for SO many game assets!

#StableDiffusion #Dreambooth #Scenario #AI
This is actually a fun one, I'll try sharing the model when I get a chance.

New exploration: AI-generated fantasy game cards.

We're rushing to ship our new product, and it's hard to keep up w. everything (4 threads are waiting!)

This one started from a comment on my latest thread, mentioning #Hearthstone cards (@lewds_ai)


🧵
@PlayHearthstone is a free-to-play online digital collectible card game developed and published by Blizzard.

They make beautiful cards, and that's the training dataset I used (let's call this a #fanart experimentation).

20 images x 4000 steps, and I had the finetune 1h later
Now I wonder if I overfitted the model on this one, but there's a highlight. Every card on this dataset has the Hearthstone logo in the middle.

The emblem represents maps, a compass, a spyglass – "everything a real adventurer needs."

That's what I found 👇

I've explored a reliable method to create high-quality, style-consistent #game assets w. #StableDiffusion

We're just scratching the surface here & I believe this can become a very potent creation tool (like a "@procreate on AI-steroids"🤔)

A demonstration with... spellbooks 🧵
Spellbooks are another ubiquitous asset in heroic #fantasy games, tabletop games, D&D, etc.

However (like for potions), the Unity/Unreal asset stores have limited choice, and most assets have a rather simplistic design.

Here's how #AI can solve such a situation.
At first, I generated a set of 38 "random" spellbooks, which I used to train a finetune model of Stable Diffusion (Dreambooth). It took 1 hr.

I then explored a set of possibilities with simple prompts and or limited modifiers (intricate, detailed, beautiful, 3D render...)
