Pictures generated by IA from my 3d renders in Blender.
Text IA.
Here is a new set of images based on my Taurus building, part of my series of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure-inspired Stands reinterpreted through the European zodiac.
The original building was modeled in SketchUp, with additional sculpting work done in Nomad on iPad, then assembled and rendered in Blender/Cycles.
For this new experiment, I used my own 3D renders as a strict architectural base and asked AI to develop different scenes from them. One important rule throughout the process was to preserve the geometry of the building as much as possible. The AI was mainly used to reinterpret materials, improve photorealism, change the lighting and atmosphere, and add characters or narrative elements.
The first group is in color, with a more magical and extravagant atmosphere. The building becomes inhabited by strange creatures and characters: a unicorn-headed butler welcoming children, a cloud-being pouring a rainbow from a champagne coupe, an Indian princess with a hummingbird-headed prince, a moonlit hive with silver-and-blue bees and a strange smoke filled with eyes, or a crocodile postman delivering a sealed parchment to an old king drinking chai on his balcony.
For the second group I completely changed direction and switched to black and white. I wanted something much darker and more unsettling, inspired by the atmosphere of old spooky cartoons from the late 1920s and early 1930s, but imagined as if those worlds existed in real life.
IA added strong grain, dramatic lighting and a slightly old-film look. The building is then invaded by ghostly figures, spider webs, skull-headed doves, violent thunderstorms, giant carnivorous plants and insects, or a strange party where all the guests wear black bodysuits painted with skeleton bones while hundreds of candles melt over the façade.
So the basic architecture remains the same, but each render becomes a small scene with its own story and atmosphere.
It was also an interesting way for me to use AI not as a substitute for the 3D work, but as a tool for art direction, lighting, material exploration and visual storytelling on top of an existing model.
