Brothers ready to bathe in a bathroom that I imagined would be in a home such as The Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, designed by Philip Johnson in 1949.

Glass houses frighten me, so I leave the stones outdoors . . . Nevertheless, impressive collection of lads . . .
ReplyDeleteHey Jameson. How very wise of you ! I'm pleased that you like this collection. Thank you.
DeleteI think I reveal my real interest when I disclose that it has taken me many perusals over several days to finally notice that in the various images, the bath changes type, the room changes shape, how many walls are landscape windows changes, the position of the bath in the room changes, in one a window is opaque but in others not, hanging pictures and robes and then none, nearby counters with sinks and then none. A classic case of seeing what one wants to see and not what's there. Good job I'm not a radar operator! ZD.
ReplyDeleteAddendum: I assumed the idea was that this was an imagined bathroom in The Glass House as in ONE imagined bathroom but now I notice that, aside from the trees and garden outside being different too, your blurb stated 'such as The Glass House' but not NECESSARILY The Glass House which meant that your imagination could legitimately introduce randomity to the design featured in each image. I think these two comments are really 'notes to self' as in, 'wake up and LOOK next time!' Sometimes the way my mind operates worries me lol.
ReplyDeleteObviously the addendum is ZD again. Sigh.
DeleteHey ZD. Thanks for posting..and you've given me lot to respond to..but I'm happy to do it. In so far as the specific bathrooms and the property out side of the houses. I have no control of the out put once I give the rendering software my prompt. So I can say a "bathroom whose walls are all glass with a slab-sided bathtub, a beautifully landscaped property can be seen through the windows". I would also describe the boys as well, of course. I cross my fingers and wait for the actual output. I re-use the exact same prompt three or four times in order to , I hope, get two usable images..and four different bathrooms are rendered and those images my still my need some editing. That's why you see a different bathroom in every image. I don't type messages to myself where my viewers can read them; I have desktop tool to write notes to myself. Those notes are meant to provide you with some context and, I hope, enhance your enjoyment of my blog.
DeleteWell you have described some of the effort required in making what we outside perceive as simply images lol - what an insult to the time you must put in! I am now a little more educated on how this AI-construction thing is a bit like threading a needle - more often than not you miss and occasionally it goes right first time lol.
DeleteOn a different note and upon reviewing your Hopper beach boys presentation, I would personally like to see future boys all featured more similarly to those in Hopperbeach03 and Hopperbeach15 in terms of their devil-may-care attitude to apparel - it's far more boy-like to simply be who they are rather than worrying about conservative mind-sets.

Sigh - that was me too. Double sigh. ZD.
ReplyDeleteI like the Hooper beach collection as well, I think I used some elements from the gallery with the "Museum" collection. Unfortunately that rendering "model", OpenArtSDXL, is not as powerful, certainly not as compliant, as it once was. It now resists rendering shirtless boys, it will no longer render my favorite "arms up" poses. I have started to experiment with other "models" in order to render the images that are in my mind's eye. I have have satisfactory results with the boys, but the twenty-something guys is a different matter. The "models" render guys that I don't care for; they'r too muscular, the default look is for very chiseled faces that look ten years older than what I describe in my prompts. I have to come up with descriptions of faces to render images of men that I like. Kind faces, normal thin bodies; not the refugees from European modeling agencies that are automatically rendered. That was a very long explanation as to why you probably won't see those exact boys anymore, but since I like what you like, I'll endeavor to produce content that pleases.
DeleteWell thank you - I will look forward to seeing those! Sadly, it appears that the censorship gremlin has struck your usual methods which is very worrying as that gremlin seems to be taking over everything. ZD.
DeleteAddendum: OpenArtSDXL rendered boys bodies. I've noticed that the newer rendering "models" attach boys heads to the bodies of shrunken adults. The torsos are too wide and muscular to be the bodies of young teens; compare the boys rendered in Hooper beach boys to those in Glass bathrooms..pity.
ReplyDeleteWell Hopper beach boys featured proper boy-looking boys which is your USP as far as I am concerned so to read this is pathetic on the part of whoever is responsible for it. ZD.
DeleteHey ZD. Thank you for your thoughtful and supportive feedback. It seems I may have to eat some of my words regarding the output of some the the older rendering "models", I hope you'll enjoy what's to come.
