Not up to the quality of frenhcies stuff But "I" created this with AI. I would enjoy a tower tha looked like that

@Rich-O-Brien thanks but the reason I asked the question was because occasionally make images from a photo reference. So I am using virtually and best guess depth and breath and scale to make the model. It would I occasionally put the model into Tm and change the aspect ratio and fine tune the focal length in TM. When it does not work I need to modify the SU model a few times and refresh the model in SU to get the image i want.

Hi guys I should by rights no the answer to this, but can the aspect ratio of the SU window be adjusted. I was thinking it would make a difference to how I scale and compose In SU before I move the modern to a render engine.

Nice legs

Very nice work mate I love them all Just one thing is the TM render has Parallel Projection turned off

Nice work, I wish I had your organic modelling skills

Hi Frenchy, you win. I asked a question of AI, in another post "Final Thought
AI won’t erase the need for trained artists—but it will redefine the value proposition. The artists who thrive will likely be the ones who:

Lean into design thinking, storytelling, and emotional impact—things AI still struggles with.

Use AI as a collaborator, not a competitor.

Make their work stand for something—cultural relevance, craft, message, or uniqueness.

Would you like me to help compare an AI-generated architectural rendering with a hand-built one to explore the difference in depth, nuance, or emotion?"

I am getting on the train From learning what you have achieved, and taking into account the AI final thoughts. What are your thoughts and program (Hopefully free) and what learning platform should I try?

Hope you can assist

I asked AI
"What are your thoughts on how images produced by AI will effect the works of people who have studied art and 3 d modeling and rendering with no AI"

ChatGPT said:
That’s an excellent and timely question—and it cuts to the heart of a deep shift happening in art and design fields.

AI-generated imagery is already reshaping the landscape for artists and 3D modelers in both positive and negative ways, depending on how it's used, and how institutions and audiences value original human-created work versus fast, synthetic production. Here’s a breakdown of the major effects:

Challenges for Traditional Artists & 3D Modelers
Commoditization of Visuals
AI can create highly polished images in seconds, which devalues time-intensive work by trained professionals. For clients who only care about speed or surface-level visuals, this can undercut prices and shift expectations.

Job Competition in Concept and Previz Work
Roles like concept artist, illustrator, and moodboard designer are particularly affected. AI can churn out near-final concepts, cutting out early design phases that were once paid opportunities for junior or freelance artists.

Skill Devaluation in Entry-Level Roles
Beginners or juniors who previously cut their teeth on low-to-mid-level render tasks may now find those jobs disappearing. Studios or firms might rely on AI for base renderings or compositions, reserving human artists for final polish only—if at all.

Flooding of Visual Space
The sheer volume of AI-generated content dilutes the visibility of genuine, hand-built work. This can make it harder to stand out unless your portfolio is exceptionally unique or you’ve carved a recognizable niche.
Opportunities for Skilled Artists Who Adapt
AI as a Speed Tool, Not a Replacement
Artists who learn to use AI as a sketching or idea-generation tool can work faster, test ideas more quickly, and still apply their trained eye to elevate results. Think of it as a new brush or camera—not a competitor.

Higher Standards for ‘Human’ Work
As AI floods the market with generic content, authentic, deeply skilled work (especially with storytelling, intentional composition, and technical accuracy) will stand out even more. Especially in high-end architecture, game design, film, or VR where realism, detail, or spatial logic is critical.

New Job Roles: Prompt Engineering, AI Art Direction
People with strong design knowledge are becoming invaluable as AI art directors—knowing how to guide the AI, curate outputs, and blend synthetic images with real 3D or photo assets.

Cultural & Ethical Value of Human-Made Art
There’s a growing movement toward “human-authored” or “AI-free” work, especially in galleries, publications, or academic spaces. Like analog photography in a digital age, handcrafted work might become more respected and sought after—if framed and marketed that way.

Final Thought
AI won’t erase the need for trained artists—but it will redefine the value proposition. The artists who thrive will likely be the ones who:

Lean into design thinking, storytelling, and emotional impact—things AI still struggles with.

Use AI as a collaborator, not a competitor.

Make their work stand for something—cultural relevance, craft, message, or uniqueness.

Would you like me to help compare an AI-generated architectural rendering with a hand-built one to explore the difference in depth, nuance, or emotion?

I may have just been lucky, but I have probably had 15 mouse and 7keybourds over many years The most expensive mouse was a gaming mouse for $160 and even a spacmouse. I will never pay top dollar for these any more. I just stay with a normal Logitech keyboard and mouse.

Edited. I did not check but mouse I am using ATM but I am using the expensive mouse shown in image I have had it for about 10 years

Thanks for reminding me about copyright Rich. Frenchie could you or somebody else let me know what is the best AI image generator for just changing an image a bit, Just enough to retain the the intent of the reference image. I am thinking that I could use the reference image just enough to stay out of the copyright envelope. Frenchy If you have the time and inclination, I have attached an image would you mind modifying it with AI as an experiment? I would like to know the outcome to get around copyright for the above reason and how this could be achieved. Then i would like to try it for myself

Does anybody else like to do renders or models from photographs? I have been (very carefully) collecting images that I think have a lot of promise as reference images for ,modelling and perhaps renders. If I get any response let me know. They are generally interiors and exterior architectural photos.

Thanks to you all, I am mainly interested In non organic architecture and don't do much organic modelling but I learnt a lot from this thread, thanks again

Do all these methods need to be quad faces to work including smoove?

That is awesome Rich thanks you

The rod is tapered like a fishing rod, in fact I am sure it is a fishing rod blank

Hi Guys I am about a lam (as per the image) what plugin should I use so bend a tapered rod (free)

Thanks in advance

yeh well done mate, I can only agree with Mike and Tuna. Just beautiful exploded views

Thanks for posting frenchy Recraft looks amazing and worth me having a closer look for sure. Also the way that AI renders acrylic is just crazy good
