This report consists of two parts: my DALLE-2 exploration and my final report. First of all, the DALLE-2 exploration. I followed the same pattern as I explored the MidJourney and Stable Diffusion in the previous weeks. I am mainly interested in DALLE-2's ability to generate high-quality photorealist...

This week I explored Material Stable Diffusion, a fork of the Stable Diffusion Cog model that outputs tileable images for use in 3D applications such as Monaverse. It is designed to produce fine detailed texture images. Here's the link to the Material Stable Diffusion: https://replicate.com/tommoore...

I am in awe of Stable Diffusion with my first exploration. I found it is easier to generate high-detailed photorealistic images with stable diffusion than MidJourney with similar prompt. In addition, I found the “Explore this style” a very useful feature to explore the images with the same style and...

In the past three weeks, I explored MidJourney’s ability to generate three categories of images: realistic and conventional, abstract, and imaginative. I found that MidJourney is not the best tool to generate real and conventional images since a lot of the fine details are missing from the resulting...

Last week I dedicated most of my effort exploring real, conventional images that MidJourney can generate. Natural scenes for example. One conclusion I reached is that MidJourney is able to generate all the elements in the text query and put them well together. However, even with the keyword “photore...

Text query: starry sky viewed on the top of a volcano, photorealistic Snip20221005_11.png 1. Does the image meet your expectations? The image does not meet my expectations. I want the image to be photorealistic but the image result it generated is more of a painting style. The stars in the sky are b...
