Description

Over the years I've done scores of characters and the ones on this are my most frequent ones. I have always tried to do my Sirens as close to photo real my skill and software were able. On a whim, I wanted to see if I can take one of my renders and see if I can 'Upscale' it to look like a photo. Looked around and found SeaArt.ai. Tried it and the portraits I had done really amazed me once put through SeaArt. Some, I was happy to see looks not much different from my oridinal renders, but most did upscale it enough to make me go Wow. All the images have been create by me in DAZ or Iclone, some years ago. Obviously, it is a a bit of a cheat, but a possible tool once these tools mature. Ha, they still don't do good hands or feet (ugh) but I have Daz, iclone and Unreal for that. Anyway, here are some of the character as if they were, indeed, real. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for sharing and looking great. How about some before and after images to show what difference the upscaling has achieved?

I'll put some up. So don't change it much, such as the First one, some more. Nice to see some of my pics, which are many, hit close to realism, But yes, I agree, I'll look to put some thing up.

I am all against using "Generative AI", though I am not against AI helpers. Those results are amazing, given that some real person actually invested his work in creating all these characters. I would welcome some kind of "Make It Realistic AI-Post-Render-Filter".

Thanks! I've not been a fan of AI Art myself, but on a lark I said to myself: Can I take my characters and us AI to make them look like photographs?

To some extent yes. The tool is, as of yet in my opinion, not yet matured. I think we all get into this art to control our creations to match the images in our head. AI doesn't do that most of the time, but do see a time when I can use as a post processing tool, much like photoshop. not yet though

Thanks, Fun deviation. I'm mostly these days using DAZ to Iclone to unreal engine and either post in Hitfilm or Davinci. Loving learing unreal engine, tough, but fun results. This was fun. You know how long I've been devoted to my character Adrea and was tempted to see if she could look 'Real'. Like I mentioned above, some of my pics didn't change muth. Does make me want to raise the bar on my real work though :)

I just hope the AI doesn't "remember" your input images and then include them in generative works created by scripters who are NOT artists. If this is a simple "filter" process, then it is a fantastic tool to take your ideas up another level. But if there is a chance it offers cheaters access to your hard work without compensation..,

BTW, really good to see you posting something again. And good that I saw it on one of my rare visits these days...

Thanks so much, Yes I thought about will they incorporate my work in other generative processes. For all I know, they do. The tools are impressive for some things, for production, for me at least, no. I can suggest lighting or other things I would like to improve on.

Glad to hear from you, I don't get over here enough.
