SusanC Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Wow! This could be very helpful for brainstorming ideas. May I ask which AI program you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 geez, interior designers just got a whole lot more efficient ....or maybe just more work, as now there are a lot more possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked beautiful, but the architecture got transformed into a Frankenstein mess that looked similar to my design, but if you've seen much AI rendering you know what I mean... just weird. Maybe the paid versions would be more true to the original, and less goofy?? No front door and no way to get to it if there was. And a driveway for motor scooters. Beautiful though... I wish I could render in chief like that, and as fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I haven't found a way to charge for renders. All my clients just need as prescriptive (least required engineering) as possible, 2D plans for permit. AND I suck at color pallets or themed rooms....so there's that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" There are a number of programs out there that have this capability. such as Dalle, Mid Journey, Promeai It's more about structuring the prompts correctly so you can successfully achieve what you are looking for. I have shared screen training sessions available. in which I show others how to train your dragon so to speak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHampton Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Thanks for sharing Bob. To your point, the programs have a tendency to make minor changes. I tried a room w/ a online software called Luw.ai In 30 seconds, it went from a very basic camera view to a fairly well resolved rendering, but with minor changes. For example... the steel garage door went from dark iron to wood. Still, this is fairly impressive. Perhaps paid versions allow more control? Perhaps Chief is already woking on a new feature?!

SusanC Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I'm playing with AI for brainstorming purposes within our firm only - not showing those results to clients. As for renders, I don't charge independently for them, that is wrapped up in the cost of developing the design and the construction documents. The renders are what sell the job for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHampton Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Thanks again for posting this thread today Bob. Learned a few pointers, including command prompts asking the rendering machine not to change anything too drastically. Really great stuff. As per Susan... renderings sell the project, and they're to be somewhat expected these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 @VHampton Re: your first picture. Minor changes are the least of the issues. There are some pretty nonsensical additions as well. I especially like the way the tv stand is missing a leg and has a plant growing through it. Why two tv's and where do you sit if you want to watch one of them? I'm not sure about the 6" high coffee table either. Might be a reach to get your coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been my experience: beautiful, but unusable. I'll try some of the suggestions here to see if it will work eventually, the quality is worth the time trying if successful.

VHampton Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Agreed... I noted the double TVs. The potted plant growing through the table as well. Ability to stick with the basic ingredients would be quite helpful. The rendering process wound up completely changing the single door too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for fun I'm going to repost the same image I did above, but include the original image sent to ChatGPT: Original image: ...and the prompt: add landscaping to this picture, make it more photorealistic without changing the architecture, add more realistic grass and a wooded background Result: Beautiful, but not even remotely usable. "Simular" I would call it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketballman Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Not too much .. Client thought he had drawn a door so that all works out They also weren't sure if flat or sloped ceiling worked best for them so tried flat version first The way I use this technology is more about helping people explore and get a design direction than precise precision. I will use D5 render for that situation. This is done very early on in project since design should initially drive and then influence the final content of plan set ( IMHO ) that be what we are going for here. Since the output is truly photorealistic and super quick, brand name elements can be incorporated, look spot on, and can be purchased thus enabling 3D reality to become reality, reality.such as Daltile, Mohawk flooring, Benjamin Moore paint colors, Ashly furniture etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 6 minutes ago, basketballman said: Since the output is truly photorealistic Hmmm... What is the point of photo-realism if the details are all inaccurate? In your last example, walls were missing; windows and doors were moved, resized, and changed to different styles; light fixtures were moved, etc. Kinda scary if you ask me. I would be seriously worried about communicating ideas that were not realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
