Generating Fashion Using AI
- hailpixel 4y agoI love that the author shows the whole workflow. It highlights how much tweaking and work it takes to achieve a polished output. Still amazing how easy it was to chain the networks together.
- synu 4y agoThe creativity happening around AI right now is incredible. I came across this recently and was blow away: https://twitter.com/xsteenbrugge/status/1558508866463219712?s=21&t=m4v8DBTKg3He0-3lZcTsFA https://twitter.com/xsteenbrugge/status/1558508866463219712?...
- jiggawatts 4y agoThat is spectacular! Keep in mind when watching this that the technology to make this has only been available for mere weeks, and here's a video that would have taken months-to-years to produce using traditional techniques. True automation is coming to art. Mindblowing.

- yunwal 4y agoThese are cool, but I feel like too many of these are just kinda coming up with a simple prompt and letting SD do it's thing. I'm looking forward to more human direction with these videos rather than just "what happens if AI zooms in a bunch?" (the Infinite__Vibes ones are getting there).
- synu 4y agoNice collection!
- jonplackett 4y agowoah, thanks for the links!
- lhoff 4y agoReally impressive, thanks for the links. Has someone a good intro to stable diffusion for someone who doesn't know a lot about AI?
- oceankid 4y ago+1
- baxtr 4y agoThanks for sharing. They somehow remind me of the VGA computer art animations of the 90s. Fond memories. Couldn’t find any links on YT. Please share if anyone has them.

- whinvik 4y agoThere does seem to be a lot of editing work required to get this working. I would like to understand if there's a more automated way of doing this.
- jimhi 4y agoThe most important work is done by Dalle which has no open API right now. Once they open it up - there could be a way to run a program on all 3. You would still have to cherry pick which frames from Dalle look the nicest
- synu 4y agoI believe (but not 100% sure) you can achieve this with Stable Diffusion also, which is something you can run locally.
- jimhi 4y agoFor sure but Stable Diffusion still cannot produce as realistic quality as Dalle 2. Stable Diffusion also has fairly weak inpainting which is what is used for the first step. I am confident it will surpass Dalle 2 at some point though, it has only been open sourced for ~2 weeks after all.
- capableweb 4y ago> For sure but Stable Diffusion still cannot produce as realistic quality as Dalle 2. I don't think that's true. Just like Gimp can be used to make better results than Photoshop (or even mspaint), the quality of the results is up to the artist/user, not the tool itself. Some SD outputs are truly amazing, but so is some DALL-E 2 outputs. Maybe DALL-E 2 is easier to use for beginners, but people who are good with prompts will get as good output with SD as with DALL-E.
- jimhi 4y agoI’ve tried about 500+ prompts on Midjourney, Stable diffusion, and Dalle 2 each. It’s just not there yet, it’s really good for creative results though. I agree it might do a the job decently for a dress in this instance.
- Maxion 4y agoJesus christ fast fashion is just going to get worse isn't it? Standing infront of your augmented reality mirror in the evening swiping through AI generated outfits for the next day that are made automatically during the night and shipped to you by drone the next morning to wear for the day and then dispose of.
- esjeon 4y agoThat's a far far future. The current AI simply can't reason with the design. It's all just 2D image manipulation, and the image you see might be physically impossible, let alone generating the fitting sewing pattern from a simple image. Perhaps, one can limit the scope of AI generation to minor details, like color, pattern, printings, pockets, etc.
- dannyw 4y agoFar far future as in 1 year?
- napier 4y agoI'd be shocked if it takes as long as a year for the first neural 3D engine to be released.
- thfuran 4y agoThere's considerably more conceptual distance between "dalle but 3d" and "dalle but emits practical product designs rather than concept art" than there is between dalle and 3d dalle.
- napier 4y agoConversely, there's considerably more difference in concept and capacity between Dalle, and what's in development but not yet released. Safe to say that OAI and the rest of bigtech is at least a few years ahead internally and the open source community is catching up faster than most think, and even branching and exceeding capabilities in some directions as the tech begins to snowball.
- yreg 4y agoNoMoreBro here on HN is also generating fashion pieces: https://unshush.com/ https://unshush.com/
- NoMoreBro 4y agoThank you for mentioning it, yreg! :) There is Twitter too https://twitter.com/UnshushProject https://twitter.com/UnshushProject I started with a lot of enthusiasm but discovered you need to be A LOT more social (or lucky) to make people see things! Next time maybe with some code and a Show HN it will be more fun.

- agumonkey 4y agoWhich means with goggles we can all wear simple cotton outfits and appears fancy digitally. #ecofriendly
- reb 4y agoVirtualizing consumption may be the aspect of mixed reality I’m most excited about. There are plenty of goods that have to be physical, but many don’t.
- amelius 4y agoHas anyone run existing stop-motion videos through DAIN?
- makeworld 4y agoYes, it's linked in the thread: https://twitter.com/karenxcheng/status/1552348027834118144 https://twitter.com/karenxcheng/status/1552348027834118144
- suref 4y agoI wonder when the transition will happen and when DALLE 2 and similar technologies will actually replace jobs. Because practically, they can already.
- aaron695 4y ago
- einpoklum 4y agoFashion is mostly a scam. The idea that people - especially, but not just - women are supposed to replace their wardrobe (*) frequently, and that the items in their wardrobe need not last, induces artificial consumer demand, diverting social resources - especially those distributed among the masses - from more useful endeavors (social or private), and is environmentally wasteful. So, my non-artificial intelligence has generated the following new fashion: Last year's. (*) - Note I'm not saying change clothes on themselves, but the set of clothes they own/use.
- cerol 4y agoPart of me thinks "this is really cool, it's all moving really fast", but the other part of me thinks "this is moving too fast, aren't people missing something?". It feels like everyone's so desperate to create or predict the next AI unicorn, that no one's paying attention to the fundamentals. Gives me weird dotcom bubble vibes. I still cannot see how this can fundamentally change the fashion industry. Fashion is not about design, it's about generating desire to buy. You hire models and influencers to showcase your items, so people think they can be just like them, you just have buy the same piece of clothing. AI doesn't change that. You could totally have a niche for AI-generated clothing, but that's it. Besides, clothes are a physical item. AI can automate the generation of a "blueprint", but it is still heavily constrained by the physical result. It would be mostly hit and miss. Feels more efficient to have designer use their experience to create sketches that would actually look good in real life. All in all, I am amazed as much as I am skeptical of the entire synthetic art revolution going on. It's been what? A month? It's too soon. Aren't we jumping the gun? Whatever happened to boring opinions? "Hmm that's amazing, but we'll see what happens, it's too soon". I'm yet to be convinced of how, beyond being an overall better tool, synthetic art will fundamentally change businesses.
- crazygringo 4y agoI think you're reading too much into it. It's just a cool application of changing clothes in videos. Nobody presented it as changing the fashion industry. It's generating new outfits in a video, and that's super cool. I don't think anybody's moving too fast or missing fundamentals here, at least not yet. This is all brand-new, so people are just having a fun time exploring.
- tomxor 4y agoYup, i don't think this even applies to fashion, after all it's just reconstituted fashion. The most obvious application of this is to replace, augment or make more economic live action computer graphics techniques. That could actually be pretty interesting though, liberating even, because it would open up a previously incredibly expensive field... giving more access to compete with CG previously only available to high budget hollywood. Imagine if manipulating a live action scene was as easy as dropping some descriptions into some program and paying for a little compute.
- devmunchies 4y agoI worked at an ai startup that was trying to generate products to sell. The AI engineers didn’t understand that the image isn’t useful, but only good for judging whether the design looks good. It needs to spit out json schematics for the product in a way a specific manufacturer can understand. There’s also the problem that AI can’t be specific. I can’t design merch with a specific video game logo or band name. The output always has that “AI dream residue”. This is a useful tool only for creative inspiration.
- Wistar 4y agoPerhaps AI text-to-STL file, ready for 3D printing prototypes?
- teddyh 4y agoAI images are rapidly becoming just like clip art and stock photos: i.e. you can, with some training, recognize the signs. And, just like clip art and stock photos, you should recognize when an image is used without much effort, since it is probably not additive to the context of whatever media it is embedded in, and can be safely ignored.
- cerol 4y agoIt might sound unrelated, but many years ago I moved to Europe, coming from a South American country. Having spent many years "at home", I never bothered much with how we looked like, physical features that you could say stereotypical. But then I moved to Europe, and suddenly I could spot people from my country from miles away. After years and many places travelled, I still cannot describe in words what we look like, but I know it when I see. It's a gut feeling. At least with the photorealistic prompts, there is always this feeling of "this doesn't look right". Right now it's easy to pinpoint what it is. Usually is a completed distorted face. But they might get better at this. But probably there will always be that "uneasy feeling".
