17 tools and tricks I use the most to generate impressive images with AI 🤖.

This is my christmas gift to all of you 🎁!

Follow me on this travel, you won't regret 🧵⤵️
First of all, to arouse your interest...

Here you have 4 of the latest images that I have generated 100% with artificial intelligence using just a text description of mine.

Do you want to know what programs I have used?

The first 3 are obvious ⤵️
1️⃣ MidJourney — #midjourney

One of the questions I get asked the most is: what is your favorite AI software to generate images?

Without a doubt, for me it is @midjourney, due to its balance between coherence and an "artistic" touch.

midjourney.com
2️⃣ StableDiffusion — #stablediffusion

You can try it in web version (DreamStudio), Google Colab version or even download it to your computer.

@StabilityAI is an Open Source monster that has revolutionized the world of generative AI in recent months.

beta.dreamstudio.ai/home
3️⃣ DALL·E (@OpenAI) — #dalle2

The precursor of the revolution.

It has fallen a bit behind but it still hides some aces in the hole such as "in painting" and its "infinite canvas".

For the novel I'm writing I like the illustration style it achieves.

openai.com/dall-e-2/
4️⃣ Tencent Face Restoration.

Ideal for retouching a previously generated portrait with one of the above. It adds lot of detail and realism. Especially in eyes, lips, nose and cheekbones.

Very powerful and simple.

replicate.com/tencentarc/gfp…
5️⃣ CodeFormer.

Similar to the previous one, but more focused in photo restoration and detail enhancing. Incredible results!

huggingface.co/spaces/sczhou/…
6️⃣ FaceApp.

One of my secrets 😉. Don't tell anyone! Haha!

This is one of the most used mobile apps by instagramers who want to look handsomer / prettier.

Remarkably, applied to an AI-generated face, it achieves brutal levels of realism and detail.

faceapp.com
7️⃣ Lexica.

The fastest way to learn this discipline is, undoubtedly, to see lot of example prompts (the text description that generates the image).

Lexica is the world's largest prompt repository. On the order of MILLIONS of indexed descriptions.

lexica.art
8️⃣ Leiapix converter.

Simple and brutal.

Get a 3d effect on a 2d image. And it allows you to download it in video and GIF.

convert.leiapix.com
9️⃣ MugLife.

To animate faces: make them smile, talk, frown, stick out their tongues and much more!

muglife.com
🔟 Relight.

Another easy to use but potentially brutal app.

Upload an image/photo (mostly portraits) and change the lighting as you wish, with just a few well-placed clicks...

I use it more than I admit 😉

clipdrop.co/relight
1️⃣1️⃣ MovePic.

Another mobile app that I have fallen in love with.

For example: I have just generated this volcano in 5 minutes and with a few clicks I have animated the river of lava, the smoke and created a storm.

Who gives more for so little?

play.google.com/store/apps/det…
1️⃣2️⃣ I already talked about #dalle2, but I think I have to explain a bit more about its "out painting" capabilities: they need to have a special place on this list.

Check this out because It's awesome!

1️⃣3️⃣ Lexica Aperture.

Do you need to generate photographies that appear to be 100% real? Well, you can!

Don't try to use the "bikini" word in your prompts because... oh, just check it out yourself 😂

lexica.art/aperture
1️⃣4️⃣ Diffuse The Rest

You are going to have lots of fun with this one. Specially if you have children.

Just draw a quick and dirt sketch, write a prompt and watch magic happens! It converts your dirty sketch into something awesome.

huggingface.co/spaces/hugging…
1️⃣5️⃣ Img2img (Stable Diffusion).

Similar to the previous one, but more advanced. You will need some knowledge to install and run it in your computer. I'm sure that @NerdyRodent will be happy to help you :)

github.com/AUTOMATIC1111 Img2Image example created by @NerdyRodent.
1️⃣6️⃣ Prompt-to-Prompt.

Unfortunately you will also need some knowledge using Google Colab notebooks + Huggingface (token) for this one.

But if you give it some time, you really can convert ANYTHING to any OTHER thing. Like a miracle! 😂

1️⃣7️⃣ BONUS: Riffusion 🎵.

This is not for generative images... this is for generative MUSIC!

Yes, you heard me well: a "text prompt to music" generator. It's quite limited nowadays, but it can already create some cool "lofi hip hop" beats, for example.

Hope u liked this thread!

Would you like to learn more about AI image generation?

🔥 Follow me! 🔥

I'm working on a prompts bundle I will release soon, with detailed explanations to be able to create awesome images! It will include the MOST ADVANCED prompts I found.
BONUS TRACK!

@Scenario_gg will soon be released to everyone interested in creating resources for video games. I haven't had the opportunity of trying it yet, but the examples @emmanuel_2m is showing in his threads are awesome.
BONUS 2.

Soon I will be able to use @LeonardoAi_ too. I can't wait to see what they are cooking!
If you know any other useful AI tool, please tell me 🙏 and I will add it to this list 😉
OK, let's continue!

You are not ready for what's coming.

We, humans, struggle to understand exponential growth. Everything will move so fast that a lot of chaos will inevitably arise in the coming years.

It worries me. Image

⚡ Living in the Future

Interfaces of the future will be completely "fluid," created on the fly for us as we need to get any task done.

Today, it takes a weekend using AI + natural language and some tweaks to build an interface. Tomorrow, it’ll happen instantly 🧵👇
Examples:

1. One year ago, I created an Angry Birds clone in just 10-12 hours using plain ChatGPT.

You can play it here! 👇👇👇

⚡ Maybe you can't see it now, but the implications of this are massive.

Nvidia has found a way to create PERFECT meshes from just point clouds.

Let me introduce you to Meshtron 🧵👇
High-Fidelity, Artist-Like 3D Mesh Generation at Scale.

In the future, I’m sure video game engines will be generated entirely with real-time AI. But in the short term, generating 3D models and environments as a first step is going to have a big impact. This is a huge step in that direction. Image

⚡ The best AI production I have ever seen. Insane level of quality achieved.

💡 TESLA by Alexandra Axell

And this is how I build my skills little by little.

I come up with a story, create photoshoot, animating it, then comes sound design and creating voice over, editing together, and upscaling.

7 different programs (thank you Midjourney, Magnific AI, Runway) that I didn't even know they can exist a few years ago. 🤯 couple days of work, and the automotive test is out.
I really hope @elonmusk will see this. Because it's amazing.
