AI PROJECT: FROM SKETCH TO RENDER

AI Gate Render

29 / 07 / 2024

Creating a meaningful render with AI is not a simple as writing a prompt and generating just any image; you need to think carefully about the prompt; is it detailed enough? does it help fill the client needs? Also generated photos don't turnout perfect and require a lot of refinement. The project pdf showcases these strategies to generate a meaningful render in 4 steps: 1-Research using AI, 2-Prompt Engineering, 3-Photo generation, 4-photo enhancement.

The project PDF is created to be interactive. Interactive features photos that communicate different information when you hover on them and photos that can be enlarged when you click on them. Just make sure to download project pdf (don't view online) for these features to work. these interactive features play a key role in making the pdf as concise as possible .

Pharaonic Style Gate

PROMPT

"Imagine that you are an architect generate a prompt to be used by AI photo generator to create a modern version of a pharaonic gate that would be visited by important personnel. Use your answer to my previous prompt ( research on architecture of ancient Egypt & it’s elements ) to create the prompt."

oman style Gate

PROMPT

"Grand Omani entrance gate for VIPs. Three colossal pointed arches in creamy, polished sandstone/marble, inspired by Sultan Qaboos Mosque and Egyptian monumentality. Features subtle carved Omani arabesques with discreet Egyptian motifs, and heavy ornate bronze/dark wood gates. Lush, manicured landscaping; bright daylight."

Research Using AI

Prompt: Can you tell me about the architecture of Ancient Egypt? What elements did they repeatedly use in their Architecture?

Gemini’s Output :

Columns: decorated with hieroglyphs or designs resembling papyrus plants, palm trees, or lotus flowers. Hieroglyphs and Reliefs: Ornate carvings and paintings depicting religious and royal themes.

Symmetry and Monumentality: Symmetrical Buildings/Structures, reflecting the order & stability of the Egyptian world view

Prompt Engineering

Prompt FrameWork : [Persona][Task][Context][Exemplar]

Prompt Created Based on FrameWork : Imagine that you are an architect generate a prompt to be used by AI photo generator to create a modern version of a pharaonic gate that would be visited by important personnel. Use your answer to my previous prompt ( research on architecture of ancient egypt & it’s elements ) to create the prompt.

Persona: Imagine your an architect

Task: generate a prompt to be used by AI photo generator

Context: modern pharaonic gate to be visited by important personnel

Exemplars: use your answer to my previous prompt

Photo Generation

Adobe Firefly was used to generate the photo effectively using three elements:

Structure photo : a photo that shows the outline and the base of the design.For this design, I used a sketch created by a colleague as the structure photo.

Reference photo : a reference for the style the generated photo should have.For this design, I used a photo showing style of modern pharonic Interior.

Prompt : the prompt that was created by Gemini as a result of my Research and Prompt Engineering. The Prompt: A modern version of a pharaonic gate, that is imposing and symmetrical. Massive papyrus reed columns flank the entrance, adorned with intricate hieroglyphs depicting scenes of pharaohs. The gate is bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, casting long shadows across the hieroglyphs.The gate has the flag of Egypt waving on top. The are palm trees paving the way towards the gates.

Photo Enhancement

The photo generated using Adobe Firefly has problems: Low Details, No Palm Trees & Weird Sticks.

Krea AI: Used to Enhance the low Details in the low detail can be observed in the hieroglyphs and reliefs.

Adobe Photoshop Beta: used for localized AI Generation. Photoshop AI was used to remove the weirds stick and Add the palm trees.

Enhancing gate

Enhancement : Gemini was used to make gate even more realistic. It was asked to analyze the image of the pharaonic gate before enhancement and generate a prompt based on the image. The prompt was later used to generate another image

Prompt Generated :

A hyper-realistic architectural visualization of a modern Neo-Pharaonic monumental gateway. The structure is built from massive, textured Egyptian yellow limestone with deep-etched hieroglyphic bas-reliefs. A vast, dark polished granite plaza in the foreground is covered in a thin, still layer of water, creating a perfect mirror reflection. Lush, detailed date palms flank the structure. Cinematic lighting during the golden hour, with soft long shadows and warm "bounce light" hitting the stone surfaces.

Changing Gate Material

Gemini was asked to generate 4 gate renders with different material for comparison. The 4 material were used in Ancient Egypt
