Using AI to Generate a New Falcon GT Concept Car

[CyberWasp]

All of the images I have generated so far have been in Playground AI,

I just thought I would try another one to see how it compares, Leonardo AI.

It is also free to use so nothing to lose.
You have 150 Credits and it seems 4 images uses approx 20, and 5 to upscale the image you like. Not bad.
It will then reset back to 150 each day.

You can pay for more features ect but that is not me.

These are the 1st Images I have generated in Leonardo AI,

I added the twist of Fast and Furious Styling to this Falcon GT Concept.

Things that the AI always seem to mess up so hope you didn't mind but I added a human touches!

[CyberWasp]

Yes thank you,

Sharpening it up and removing and adding the badges, and blanking the plates finishes it off.

There is so much to learn, it might be able to be done from within the AI but I am guessing you did it in Photoshop.

The thing is that these were generated from 2 lines of words which I think is pretty good for that small amount of effort.

This is as bad as they will get and the quality will only improve from here as the software evolves.

The tech is also here to animate these still photos into Video but the quality is not there yet.

[CyberWasp]

Here is free AI Software which would be the easiest to use for someone wanting to give it a go, over the other 2 I have listed.

Go to clipdrop.co and then to Stable Diffusion XL section.

As with all of them there is a free and a subscription option.

On the free version you have to wait approx 1 minute or so for the pictures to generate, it will generate 4 at a time. No biggie you can to other things while it does its thing in the background. You can keep generating 4 at a time from there with the same wait time.

No daily quantity restrictions like the other 2

Other trade off is that it leaves a watermark on the images of the free version.

It is super easy to use. Select Filter, Image size and type your prompt. There is also a remove prompt if you so wish.

I was trying it out to see if I can get a GT Panel Van type image and got this.
Apart from the glitches on the bonnet area i like this one. It would not be hard for Ford to make something like this to give us an alternative to Dual Cabs.



Finally here is a Retro looking XR inspired Falcon Coupe complete with a glitched model.
I kept this one for the car as it is impossible to regenerate.

[CyberWasp]

I thought I would mix it up, and go for another dose of good old Retro Goodness.

Here are some Concept Electric Muscle Cars inspired off late 60's Mercury Cougars.

An Electric Car would fair well I think, with the Grill Styling this era had, mixed with some creative LED lighting in the front and rear lights. The body-lines are also timeless.

What would you prefer a Mach E or something like this?

Coupe,



Or maybe a Fastback.

[351@GT]

very nice, although I'd still love a v8 rumble to go with it!

[CyberWasp]

Still on the concept as listed above I still can not get the grille to my liking.

The late 60's Cougars were famous for what was described as the Electric Shaver Grille whilst sharing the Mustang platform.

I am merely trying to create a 3D sort of effect by backlighting a Shaver Style Grille.

An Electric Car should be able to achieve this as there is no airflow issues for a radiator and what better way to highlight that the car is electric.

Here are some closer examples, but i still can't get it to conceptualise what I am thinking exactly.

Loving your work Cyberwasp. Some of these look really good.
Any chance of a modern take or two on an E series XR please.

[CyberWasp]

You mean like this abomination....

It is fairly hard to do the older Falcons as it depends what the AI was trained on in its data set. American Cars seem to be easier to get better results.

Clip drop Stable Diffusion does seem to recognise the E Series Falcons though, but I have had no luck in obtaining the Quad XR8 Front.

It all depends on what aspect you want to focus on.

I could definitely post a large abomination kill it with fire section though. There are lots of fuglies that it generates.



I encourage everyone to have a crack at it on their favorite model and post your best result. Clip Drop Stable Diffusion would be the best for beginners to try.

[rdmr]

Yeah, that's an odd one, it's not too harsh on the eyes though.
An EL quad light with bodykit, I wonder what it would do with that.

[Polyal]

That first blue falcon you did is very nice

[CyberWasp]

No matter what I try I can not get it to do a Quad Light E Series similar to the XR8.

The AI understands the E Series body shape, but not the XR8 Style front.

So here is a Ford 'What If' type Picture,

What if ....Ford had not done the AU and extended the life of the E Series and came out with an EM Model to replace the EL....

[ford71V8]

I see VX-VY commodore front on an EL

[CyberWasp]

[CyberWasp]

[CyberWasp]

Some more Retro madness, from somewhere in another Ford Universe.

[CyberWasp]

Continuing the alternate Ford Falcon Universe theme....

[ford71V8]

Love the wagon. Would be happy with that in the driveway

[CyberWasp]

The way things are going with AI, maybe one day soon you will be able to.

That was created with Text to Image, there is Text to Music, Text to Game, Text to Code, Text to Video, so why not Text to Object where it produces the real working thing via 3D printers ect. Only a matter of time I guess.

That looks like a cross between an E39 M5 at the front and a E38 7 series at the back

I reckon this looks wicked, mad 1990s vibes.

[CyberWasp]

I am glad you liked.

That is why i like making them, sometimes it spits out something that you like, that you could not have imagined.

Everyone has a different tastes so trying to cover all bases. I will have to try to get some more 80's / 90's concepts.

Here is what I think is a controversial one.

I was going for Ford XY vibes and got this.

To me it is a Retro HG Monaro'ish, but what do people think?

Very Monaroish .....quite cool

[CyberWasp]

Maybe a little ZA/ZB Retro Fairlane vibe to this one but in 2 Door.

[CyberWasp]

Late 60's Retro Inspired.

[CyberWasp]

Another Retro 60's look a tad earlier than the one above.

[CyberWasp]

Getting closer to a Retro XY Concept to my liking.
Not there yet.
Still can't work out how to modernise the bumper area.
This sort of shows where I was trying to go.
The AI is not trained on Australian Cars so much i am guessing.

[CyberWasp]

Another day, another Text to Image AI Site to try.

This image was generated on a site called SeaArt.

[CyberWasp]

Also done at SeaArt.

A few glitches including double badge and a very unfriendly looking LHD driver, but not too bad over all.
