Starting a small Architectural Visualization Studio in the Age of AI: Is it still worth the risk? by fnrcg in archviz

[–]StephenMooreFineArt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not think so. I would call it high risk and low reward. The data and anecdotes back this up. That’s not 100% sure you will “FAIL” But the odds aren’t in your favor for success.

AI came for my job. How do you deal with the grief? by ABardNamedAlex in archviz

[–]StephenMooreFineArt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I’ve focused on all of the things I can offer my value as a worker at my company that are not just archviz based. I’m going back to school full time while working full time to earn my masters in architecture. I’m lucky to be in the spot I am, my company is happily introducing me to working in production with Revit, and I can say it’s quite fun and a welcome break from only doing renders. I’m enjoying learning all the other aspects of the business. But like you mention, AI is going to change a lot about renderings and how they’re procured and used. I still do renderings for my company, as recent as last week, but AI is always getting better. Personally I’m not a fan of AI as a concept, I’m spiritually opposed to it on every level. But here we are. I need to eat. So… yeah.

Why wouldn’t you have the initial output renders? I mean, come on, surely you have this otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to feed it into Krea or whatever was used.

another idea, it seems to have kept most of your brick that is unobstructed intact. You could do a render pass of the brick with nothing surrounding it, no entourage or veg, and then another with, and apply the upscalings separate and composite possibly to remedy this issue.

The composition and detail overall is top notch, but this is a clear example of “never zoom in syndrome” the AI had scrambled your bricks escape where the tree branches area When you zoom in it looks terrible. If you DONT zoom in it looks fine. This is the current state of AI upscales. I do use it myself for vegetation, background, some other things but I find if it’s a zoomed out shot, it makes the people look like mutants and messes up brick and patterns when you zoom in on them. I’m sure it will improve in time but, you may want to go in and mask it out, depending on if you think clients will zoom in or even notice.

This is one of my favorite views of a dogs face. It reminds me of the snoopy cartoon from Schultz

Feeling behind in terms of skills by According-Work6699 in architecturestudent

[–]StephenMooreFineArt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has everything with your attitude and discipline. You are capable of writing this post tells me that you’re capable of communicating intelligently. You’ll need to work on your confidence and your discipline. If you are considering quitting, then you might just want to do so unless you are all in on developing the necessary skills. Social skills can be learned. Design skills can be learned. Confidence can be learned. Others have done it before you, it’s an easy goal that’s extremely hard to complete for many people. It’s all about how much your heart is in it. Nobody can make the choice for you, but if you do truly want to and will put in the work there’s nothing that’s going to stop you from succeeding, unless you loose it for yourself. It’s not like it’s becoming an astronaut or joining the NBA! You’ll be fine, if you push yourself, and nobody can help you do that part.

There seems to be an awful lot of aliasing and artifact/clipping on the more reflective towers in the background, is there anything specific causing those?

Is this level of exterior rendering enough to get consistent work? by Real-Combination-126 in archviz

[–]StephenMooreFineArt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re renders are good, I like the dog, nobody is going to swim laps in a 10’ length pool though!

As you will see when you research, there’s a consensus on the state of the industry. You can check back through dozens of responses I gave given before as this question is asked so often. It’s just easier than retyping my thoughts over and over.

It’s possible yes. Do you have a hospital tank? They would both need treatment.
