Assignments for this week
- model a possible final project
- compress my images and videos
- post a description with your design files on my class pages
What I've done this week
- Draw a 2D model of the silhouettes
- generator an image of a bird with AI
- make a silhouette of a bird
- Model a structure to express the glowing and flickering of candles
- Model structrures that make silhouettes of birds flapping their wings
1. Draw a 2D model of the silhouettes
The first thing I did this week is to Draw the 2D model for silhouettes on my lamp
generator an image of a bird with AI
First, I used some AI art genorators to make some references of flying birds.
wonder
First, I used the same iPhone app as last week, wonder, to generate images of birds.
This time I didn't select any style.
Set the aspect ratio to 3:2.
Set the keyword as "bird flying"
This is what I got:
Stable Diffusion
The next AI art generator I tried was Stable Diffusion I entered each options as followed:
option | value |
---|---|
prompt | bird flying |
negative_prompt | - |
width | 768 |
height | 512 |
num_outputs | 4 |
The outputs were PNG files. I converted the images to JPG file.
I made a bash file to convert every PNG file in a designated directory to JPG.
for f in $1/*.png; do
g=$(basename ${f%.*})
if [ ! -e $g.jpg ]; then
convert $f $g.jpg
fi
done
To use this bash file, run the following command in cammoand line.
bash png2jpg.sh pngs(directory with PNG files)
This is what I got:
make a silhouette of a bird
I chose this picture as an example.
I imported the picture into Affinity Designer
Then I traced the outline of the bird.
Filled the line with black.
Edited the silhouetted to change the angle of the bird.
