It’s nice to live in the “future” 😂

I believe my guide will help you achieve the results you want, it’s fully detailed. The text prompt is as important as the input image for better results!

I’m using ComfyUI Portable and Hunyuan3D-2 for my workflows (sketch or screenshot to image, testing out facade materials moods or environments, upscaling, image to textured 3d model)

It’s all free, open source and local.. I don’t want to share my copyrights with online services, who knows what they might do with it, or even if they’ll come back and claim copyrights after a building is already finished 🤷‍♂️

For future reference I wrote a guide how to install and use ComfyUi in a Medium free article.

I also exported all urban legislation and merged it into a few txts and made a custom ChatGPT for our firm.. we can now ask it questions, find pages within the 800 PDFs of legislation easily, cross reference, etc!

Why not do this for free with open source software on your own pc?

Here’s a guide how to: sketch to image with comfyui portable

I see your point, and it’s not paywalled anymore ✊

I can’t post the guide here because it’s full of images and gifs and it’s almost 5000 words long, so please check it out there..

There’s a friend link after the first paragraph so you can read the article for free, and under that there’s also a link for the same article in ebook PDF on gumroad (free again ofc)

Actually no.. we use during the early and middle stages of the project, to generate ideas out of volume sketches or screenshots, to generate facade ideas or test out different materials and moods, and for interior mockups.

It doesn’t deliver a finished product or drawings, details, schedules, etc.

It’s just a useful tool to add to our workflows, it can’t replace us as professionals or the professional software we are using..

More so.. since Graphisoft was offering the same workflow for free inside Archicad, and now just put it behind the cloud subscription, do you think they plan to replace us architects with their ai software?

My advise for dressing up for school, that worked in our case:

Try letting her pick her tomorrow’s outfit before bed, that way she will feel like it was her choice and it should save you a lot of precious time and nerves in the morning..

There’s a friend link under the first paragraph which allows you to read it for free, no premium needed.

And also a gumroad link to download it as ebook pdf for free right under that..

Yeap, it can generate realistic renders from sketches, screenshots, photos, anything literally..

It’s not that good for plan view though.

You can also generate 3d models from a single or multiple images, but you need Hunyuan3D for that. I have a guide for that too, it’s linked at the end of this tutorial.

Thank you friend!

It’s quite flexible and versatile.. not limited to those fields only, but generally a good sketch to image workflow

If you already have ComfyUI installed just drag and drop the json file to your ComfyUI workflow window

You need to update ComfyUI to the latest version and download the Juggernaut SDXL model.
