Damn, those sword examples on the front page look like ass. (https://www.vizcom.co/static/media/weapons.143795cb.png)
I suspect half the use case of this is "this does a quick and dirty shading that gets you 75% of the way there" but man, I would paint over everything about those sword examples.
My co-founders and I have spent the last few months building Vizcom.
Artist and Designers have many ideas, but limited time and skills to realize their ideas. Our vision is to build ML tools that shorten the distance from having an idea and bringing it to life.
Currently, we have 2 products - generator and SKR. SKR automatically renders 2d sketches. Generator generates abstract images meant to spark creativity.
Any and all feedback is appreciated!
Small note: Clicking 'Sign Up' routes to 'Sign In' modal requiring another click to sign up to update the form component. Small detail, but worth commenting on. Flow is broken.
As and artist and designer I don't need machines to be creative. My brush is a tool under my control, my computer is a tool under my control.
Focus on doing one thing well as a tool. Leave creativity for people.
In this space, especially for the teaching-oriented, I recommend the new book "Code as Creative Medium: A Handbook for Computational Art and Design" by Levin and Brain.
This is very cool, I'm curious if you can give some details of the best use case you've seen?
We're developing hardware prototypes with our industrial designers, and I get 3D CAD designs from them. They can take the time to turn the CAD into visual design, but that takes time. Would this be a good tool for them to take the CAD, take a photo, and create demonstrations for how the product would look in the real world?
Curious if that's a realistic direction, and how else you see it being used. Nice work.
The generator stuff is pretty wild - I got some real Cronenbergs.
I wonder if, in 5 years, we'll start to see this kind of trippy AI aesthetic filter into illustration and animation. Or maybe the AI will just get more naturalistic.
It looks like a decent sketch enhancement tool. I would suggest to focus on that so that you could find your first customers in realistic amounts of time.
Does Marc Brunet (and the other artists) know that you're using their art on your website? Because otherwise, that's incredibly uncool of you to do.
It looks cool but isn't working well, I signed up for a free trial and can't get it to export in 4k without errors.
I want something like this but for music
My partner is a digital artist who makes a living off of freelance/commission work.
I've been on the lookout for tools in this area since I suspect they're going to be a large part of art development in the future -- start with something rough out of a tool like this, and use it to save yourself a bunch of time early on + work on the details.
Will share this!
