Those look top shelf!
That AI makes quick work of what would normally take forever. Just have to watch for little things like extra fingers, a foot on the end of a tail instead of the leg, little things like that.
Question: Do you open a new chat each project or do you just keep a running chat and keep adding?
@Albroswift
Thank you
I start a new one
I use Gemini and ChatGPT
One usually does better than the other
I’ve been using the $20/month subscription of ChatGPT, I tried several and it works best for my needs. I would run out of data with the free version, and also the paid subscription gives a lot more detail. For scroll work, celtic knots, text fitting inside a shapes, other fills it does in 30-40 seconds what would take me hours or days. And the images produced trace perfectly in LB without any cleanup for the most part. I tried having the A.I. output SVG files directly but didn’t work so well.
This is how Skynet explained it:
Don’t care so much were the image was generated, but you’ve got a great grayscale range.
Attempting to compare mine with yours is frustrating.
Every time I see your stuff, I feel like I could just

Great work.

Hahaha, love it!!! How long did it take you to find that GIF?
I downloaded the commercial for the movie. Then, using Kdenlive, I marked the area I wanted to process and had it render a gif.
Kdenlive is free and open source software.

So these are AI generated mock-ups of how it might look on wood? Do you have any examples where you have tried a real world test with this source material?
I’m pretty sure those are the real engravings.
I really don’t think they are unfortunately. I can’t see how white highlights can be created on the wood and there is a very strange fake grain effect consistent in the renders.
@tomgeen
ALL these images are engraved on wood as in description
@tomgeen
Obviously you have no idea who I am and how long I have been doing this
