We like beating dead horses now and then. I don't find this out of the norm for Chief forum discussions... they head south quite often

I have used AI last year a bit trying to get one of my models to have landscaping. I guess that is what is being discussed here. AI has come a long way in a year, but it still fails. One thing I was enjoying was how it would produce fun results for alternatives of the model image and text entered. But I finally walked away because that is all it ever was for me, fun. @robdyck said a lot in his last comment about landscape blocks, doing the work, etc.. I wouldn't trade my years of experience for something or someone else doing my job. I am afraid that the new generation will be depending on AI to produce their work. I guess it can just be another tool, but no thank you, I am enjoying figuring out the design as I move along. I don't mean to show off by showing this (maybe a little), but I feel like I have really challenged myself and accomplished something fun for the client. Is that a fun lake house or what? And I couldn't image drawing it with any other software.

I think some of us, including myself, see the forum at times like an evening, sitting around a camp fire and shooting the bull. Some times we just like talking for talking sake For me, I was big into marketing and pushing all my social networks, until I got tired of speaking to the choir. The only thing I have now is the Chief forum and I have enjoyed being a part of it now for a number of years. I have more fun on it if I envision chatting around a camp fire

Chris can speak for himself, but I am guessing he loves the look, as I do, the AI is producing in general You have to have a new and very nice Mac to pull off rendering in Chief.

Make sure to give it a +1 so Chief knows more and more people want to see something updated. Thank you -
Very nice! It is nice to see the process. Thank you for sharing!!

Hi Rene, What AI did you use? I know more and more AI image apps have masking so that would be the thing to use.
-
Maybe there are some AI apps that may be able to, but 6 months ago I messed with a number of them trying to get them to do landscaping and they often also mess with the house. You might be able to get AI to generate a background image only with some prompts that could work. I was trying to create an image out of Chief and put it into AI to generate landscaping and a background. Add an AI described background to the Chief model and I think that could work. Might have to mess with that.

Very nice. Photoshop is pretty straight forward. I do like the idea of the extended terrain. That is a nice touch to blend in with a distant background. Great work!
-
I looked closer at your green outlines and it looks like you took pictures of various areas and put them together - maybe with photoshop? Very cleaver!
-
Wow! Now that is some amazing grade work. Is the grading actually done in Chief? Or is this an image of the property before there was a house? Very impressive! I cannot think of how you did this
-
Yes, see first post
-
I'm very happy with this solution! Great job. The one below I understand and its great for something on a curve! Thank you!

Here is one way using Point Markers because they have their own layer. You can use the Copy Multiple and then hide the markers layer. https://my-plan.stevenyhofdesigns.com/v/BiGwE0OYt2Y4GotbH0PV

Does anyone have a way to create evenly spaced points between two points? But not using the Copy Multiple tool. I was even hoping a block would work and then I could stretch between the two points, but you cannot snap to the lines in the block or symbol. In AutoCAD I made up a number of Construction lines where I could very quickly get some evenly spaced lines and with a hotkey just as easily remove them. With the Copy Multiple tool it is not always easy to remove the lines from around the cabinets, lockers, etc that I use it for. It works fine, but thought there might be a more intuitive way to create temporary lines, spaces, snap points - ideas??? https://my-plan.stevenyhofdesigns.com/v/Llb9x5YzRA38LdBPznMA Thank you, Steve
