I enjoy creating artwork in Poser, Photoshop CC, Vue, and DAZ Studio. I also have a passion for photography, and have been actively shooting for many years. I've been using Poser since Version 8, and am also learning my way around DAZ Studio. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4. I also use Vue 10. I frequently use my photos as backgrounds, and composite my 3D figures into them.
I have been creating my web comic / graphic novel "The Girls From T.N.A." since fall of 2009, and have been a member of Renderosity since August 2009. I've made a lot of wonderful friends here, and have been inspired every time I visit!
I will soon have a more complete biography, as I am updating everything. In the meantime, have a look around my gallery!
Thanks!
Rod

Mind-bending fabulous awesome composition, brilliant magic Artwork.
Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!
The story helped me a bit to understand you are not too high, like being on steroyds..😊💖🥰 (it's a joke, obviously).
This is great news, I'm very happy your back is doing better. Take it slowly, don't need to play Batman now..😊💖🥰

These look fantastic! I have not used Midjourney! I signed up, but just haven't! It is so slick looking, I feel like I am cut of the process! All my AI art has been re-worked and modified by me, but some of these, like this AI, just make work that looks already "done". It's still the person's imagination that filled in the prompt, but there is a lot less imperfection (sometimes). I also haven't learned Discord! It seems so complicated! I must tell you, though, that to get results like that right away is a real gift! The AI obviously is harmony with you! Don't think for a minute that these AI are not much more than we think! I've had some interesting experiences!

Splendid creation!

These are very cool pictures!

These are incredible. I'll have to find that app and try it out.

Very cool !!!!!!

I'm glad you're enjoying Midjourney! It's so addictive, and "making art" for us artists is likely never going to be the same. No matter what happens from this point forward, AI will have a huge impact on how we create. This thing is more creative in 1 minute than I am in a week. It's a depressing thought on one hand, because "what's the point in trying to be creative as a human". Our jobs have been reduced to mere image editors. We'll get to the point where those who don't use AI in their workflow can't compete anymore. At the same time, AI does marvels to spark my "human" creativity. Whether it's a starting point for something I refine the way I want it, or if it helps me generate fun art just by typing out what I imagine. I hadn't expected it to be THAT exciting and addictive actually. On that note, Julia subscribed to the $10 plan, only to run out of "GPU minutes" within 24 hours LOL Have fun with it Rod, I hope it will lift your spirits!

Yeah, Jay is always doing fascinating stuff, as well as Chris Cox, and CSBond2 (all are members here at 'Rosity as well). Chris does a lot of neat stuff with Blender, Clothier, and a few other apps, as does Jay. All of them do amazing things in DAZ also.

beautiful!

Fantastic creation! These pics are really stunning. Next goal for the AI programmers would be to get 3D-objects instead 2D images. ;-) Good to hear you're getting better.

Really cool!

Wow, that is really cool generated creation. It is amazing what a computer and AI can do these days.
I have watched Imad Awan on YouTube do some photobashing with several of these AI programs like Artbreeder, Wombo Dream and Nividia's Gaugan's. What he does to personalize them with these generated art is amazing.
I feel photobashing is the way to really personalize it. Check "Imad Awan AI art" on YouTube it may give you some more ideas.

very wild creations and unique

Excellent work my friend 👍🙋♂️Original

They really do look impressive Rod! Hope your back stays pain-free. I know only too well the limitations that can bring!

AI in apps? Holy smoke, I have been away too long. At first I thought maybe you were adapting some of your insolator collection. Now, I get what’s going on. Makes for a great photo.

NUTS???? 😊 This is totally cool looking brother!!!! Have a nice weekend!

I love it! AI has been a relief. Like a playground after 22 years in digital 3D. I love 3D and always will, but I needed a change. <3 Sweet work, Buddy!

I love it!

Fascinating creation; I had a similar experience in midjourney when creating "Ophelia and the Mermaid".
However, I tend to disagree with Versluis' opinion that AI will become indispensable in art; I think of it as the visual equivalent of autotune pitch correction in pop music. I see it as a tool, one of many, that will benefit some more than others, though I think its correct that it can spark creativity. Will it improve the quality of images? Quite possibly (this is a very cool image when all is said and done). Is it truly art? Debateable; and it certainly is not an essential or a substitute for true skill.

Yes! I've just discovered this too. Trying to navigate and see what I can come up with. That's some really cool results you got from this.

Very cool stuff and a most fascinating read! Just now getting a good look at AI and it has taken my breath away! Absolutely "instant gratification" Wow!!!

Great stuff, but i'm already running out of minutes in 24 hours. ;-)

I said I was gonna do only TNA pieces this morning, but I had to stop at this one too. I have a friend who's been sending me her AI pieces, and telling me her prompts and what the software does with them, etc: It's fascinating beyond words! I can look at your efforts here and understand how you might have interacted with that "knowing" software, to wind up with a wondrous array of wild and yet very contained images. I love these!
The first almost looks like a castle in a bottle (like the old sailing ships in a bottle). I love the feeling of it---strange towers in a tube, which itself is contained in a tube. Given how much you've been into insulators, I love that you got AI to help you do variations on them. They're just great---with S.Punk thrown in to boot. The 2d version is like 2 little electrical creatures posing for a photographer (you): one tall, one more squat. Great background swirl and hues surrounding.
The third one has THREE (count 'm, THREE) contraptions: Love that they're like lanterns built on melted insulators. Such creative variation here---you must've given the software a lot to think about. I love the cosmic patterns in most of the glass containers. And the last one is like a bunch of light bulb sockets in a beautiful gold-lit container, and such jewel-like forms in these 'sockets' too. These gold-yellow hues are like fires that cure and create these forms, like each insulator is a little cauldron of creation. I love these! Insulators of the mind! A great diversion in your multi-faceted offerings here.

I'm not sure how I originally missed this post, but those are quite COOL.
