Google Gemini Rendering of my MK4

[cdurbin328]

If you are interested..

Go to Google Gemini and upload a photo of your car
Then type the following:

Create a 1/18 scale commercialized figurine in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is the Blender modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a TAMIYA style toy packaging box printed with the original artwork.

That’s insane.

That's wild. My first try was a pic of the car with the old Mustang wheels and soft top. It looks pretty good and even changed the name on the model kit but it didn't cope with the soft top on the computer screen's image.
The second try was a pic with the new Halibrand style wheels and soft top. This time it totally eliminated the top and it looks like it even tried to add the Lift-a-dot fasteners where the top was.

Skynet is only a matter of time ;)

[Jim Doak]

Well, I tried it. (My first time ever messing with AI.)

[Guardm16]

Mine came out a little different.

That's pretty cool! Here's mine:

I've never tracked my car ... until now.

Looks pretty obviously fake, but makes you think.

I had to take a second look.

here's mine. roll bar on the wrong side but otherwise pretty close

It works great to let you play with colors you might be considering...

These are amazing!. Since my car isn't finished I used the tool to render what I hope it to look like in front a lot of different back grounds. Here is my 3rd prompt:

It did so much better than when I tried 3 months ago, which actually looked like a Cobra, when I tried last year the image only almost looked like a Cobra. But these are Great. I had so much fun google told me to go away and come back tomorrow.

I created many more but I've subjected everyone to too many already. I'm quite impressed with this current level of generation. I've played off and on with AI Image generation for a few years and this is the first time I've come close to these results.

cdurbin328 - Thanks for posting this. Had a great time with this.
Papa - This is a great idea for all those 'Help me choose a color' posts!

It is scary what AI can do

I had to play a bit.

It's interesting what the renderings are doing with some of these AI images. I see subtle discontinuities when I look closer. Some of the samples I created placed a gas filler on the driver's side of the car AND the passenger side. My side mirrors were either removed (mine are mounted to the wind wings), or the renderings put bullet mirrors mounted on the doors. It goes to show that AI is only as good as the data used to train the algorithms.

I noticed the gas cap moving too and some other render to render changes. When I asked to change the interior color it applied the change to the roll bars as an example. I also found for some prompts I just could not get to work. The Millennium Falcon in the back ground for instance kept looking weird and out of proportion. Similarly a Saturn V rocket was out of proportion and had weird scaffolding come out of it. But even with all of that I'm quite impressed with what Gemini can do in it's latest form.

[Tooth]

Very cool, but now I want the actual model of my car.

[Indy Shu]

We now have to question everything we see on screen as to it's authenticity. Scary. But it sure is fun playing with colors for upcoming paint job.

[MPTech]

Weird but cool.
I tried the standard Gemini request the first time and it created something similar to what others posted, but the second time I copy&pasted the OP's request and here's what it produced; my Roadster as a GT40!

[JJK]

AI does some wonky stuff sometimes, but that is not a GT40. Looks like a McLaren MP4

[MPTech]

This is addictive, Haha.

Slightly different take. Had Gemini depict my car here in Kwajalein. No cars are allowed here!
