*NOT A PHOTO, PAINTING, or RENDERING.*. Heyo Fine Folk of the Interwebs! These images are made by an AI driven demo by @nvidia called #gaugan. The second image is what I drew. Each color represents a different material (i.e. “ocean,” “snow,” “sky,” or “trees”) The software uses deep learning to generate the most likely realistic combo of the materials and shapes you’ve chosen. I got these by changing the materials and times of day on a single, 3 color drawing. You can do much more complicated scenes, but the level of result with even something as simple as this is truly stunning. It’s literally just a triangle in the middle of a page! That’s it! Definitely check this free demo out! This is early stage technology, but it’s already apparent that this type of software will play a huge roll in the creation of realistic digital art in the not too distant future. The frequently joked about “make it good” button in art programs may cease to be a joke uncomfortably soon. Not now, not tomorrow, but definitely sooner than I’ll be comfortable with. ....in the meantime though, it’s a fun toy, a great tool, and you should try it out! #digitalart #thewayofthefuture #amazing #artistsoninstagram #nature #photography #deeplearning #ai #generativeart #proceduralart #tools #software #conceptart #mattepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/By9vC-NjB0j/?igshid=1pz0zr6tfzbb
