Luke's Garage & Gas Station

[Rail and Tie]

I've recently been playing around with AI and seeing what I could come up with by adding photos of my incomplete gas station and asking AI to place a background, landscape and even a figure representing Luke, the gas station owner.  Here's the result.

I have always envisioned the location of my gas station model to be in Southern California, near the orange groves of Redlands where I raised my family.  I think this image does a pretty fair job of suggesting that. 

The AI photo thing is moving quickly for sure. I am still amazed how AI has so much problem with text as well as human fingers. The text on the pump logos has a Russian tint to them. IT is always my first hint in pictures to see if it is an AI fake.

Anyways, Luke would make a great 3D figure to go along with your diorama for sure!  Fun stuff.

I had no idea AI could be of so much use to modelers. Thanks for that lesson and the photos. -- Russ

It's advancing fast.  Last month it wasn't.

Of course you still have to paint the things, which is frustrating. The detail level is high, but painting to bring that out is a whole new problem.

Maybe we need to start a new thread and stop hijacking Stuart's?
