Had a great call with one of our Veras users, and went through an Rhino exercise for creating renderings from the massing models. Below is our exploration and some of the Q/As.
Building you Render
- add details to base model
- windows, levels / floors (can be just linework), colors
- add materials to the base model
- using colors close to the material helps with identifying where the prompt should place those materials
- ex: brown for wood, and blue for glass
- this also helps AI find where to allocate the material separation onto the geometry
- using colors close to the material helps with identifying where the prompt should place those materials
- build your prompt gradually
- render one phrase, then add another, then render
- add materials, weather, lighting
- emphasize parts of the render when needed with parenthesis
- ref: Prompting Glossary - #2 by Ben
- settings
- start with high geometry override and keep a balanced prompt strength, when there are less details in the model
- as you add details to the model, decrease the geometry override, and increase the prompt strength
- getting the final render
- run at least 4 renders per setting
- once you find a sweet spot in the settings for your view, run 10-20 renders to cherry pick the best one
Q/A
- is it possible to distinguish context buildings and main building with colors (or tricks)
- using colors close to the material helps with identifying where the prompt should place those materials
- it also helps to add some schematic information, like the stories, or windows
future version will have a region based prompting
- should I insert people, trees and window to render them?
- Having some geometry resembling these elements allows the algorithm to allocate the prompt to the geometry
- can I give picture as references / style as reference?
- Not at the moment – we can add this in the future
